[Q] Nvidia Optimus on Windows 8

I have just installed the new Consumer Preview and love it!
However I have a Nvidia 555M graphics card which uses Nvidia Optimus, with out the nvidia drivers installed the graphics card simply runs on full the whole time but windows only sees the intel graphics chip, as such I can't play games well and still have horrible battery life!
So has anyone got the drivers to install/Optimus working right?
If so how?

having the same problem & graphics card,
according to NVIDIA you can just download the latest win7 drivers, works for some, not for all/always
Kind regards, Jonas

edit: make sure you pick the correct bit version, or it will just tell you that it can't find your GPU
edit2: heared rumors about more success without the physx & auto-update; so disable those if you want
eidt3: just to say... working for me now, after several restarts (yesterday it failed after a restart or 2)

Hey,
try rebooting & re-installing the NVIDIA drivers a few times, it should work.
Also make sure you have the correct version of the drivers (x86 for 32-bit & x64 for 64-bit)

I tried installing windows 7 drivers, but it didn't work for my gt555m. Now that release preview is out, is there another way of making Optimus work?

Install the new verde drivers. There availible on the website and there made for windows 8. Stopped all my crashes and slow games. The newest ones also are supposd to have alotta updates for games

[Q] 64-bit graphics driver ATI Radeon x300

Hello there,
I have recently installed Windows 8 64-bit Consumer Preview on my HP m7250n PC. My computer has an ATI Radeon x300 series graphic card and there are no Windows 8 drivers available for it.
I saw a post titled "[GUIDE]How to install Old ATI Radeon Cards on Windows 8" that shows how to install 32-bit drivers. I have tried the same with 64-bit but unfortunately, that doesn't work. I have looked at different tutorials but to no success.
I would highly appreciate it if someone could help me with 64-bit drivers.
But, if it's not possible to have it working for 64-bit, should I switch to 32-bit OS? What would be the disadvantages of 32-bit OS over 64-bit? (I am currently using 32-bit Windows 7 as my main OS on the same machine. I just wanted to switch to a 64-bit OS for an enhanced performance)
Thank you,
Nipun

It works!
Just wanted to say that it works fine now.
I am not sure what the problem was, but I uninstalled the device, and then re-installed the driver.
Everything works fine now!

Driver Accelerometer STMicro detection sensor

packard bell touch ze8
someone can help me,
my netbook is a packard bell ze8 (butterfly touch)
comes with windows 7 home premium
upgrading to windows 8 pro during installing new windows recognize all drivers
except accelerometer
i installed windows 7 driver in compatibility mode
but the auto-rotation does not work
the video card is an intel gma 4500
any idea?

Have you installed all the OEM's drivers (chipset, video, etc.)? Often the generic drivers don't provide support for features like that. Also, make sure that auto-rotation is enabled; on some systems it isn't.

thanks for supporting
i had installed the driver provided from packad bell under compatibility mode
then tried with new intel gma4500 driver installed by windows 8
and after also with old driver from packard bell
enabling auto rotation in both by intel setting and control panel settings
...in another partition installing windows 7 auto roation works
maybe there is some registry hack to do...?

First download the latest driver for your GPU, then:
1. Disable Internet access (tur off WiFi / unplug cable)
2. Boot in Safe mode
3. Uninstall driver
4.Reboot in safe mood
5. Install the latest driver for your GPU
6. Reboot in Normal mode

I had problem with drivers on netbook asus 1015PN I solved it by disabling internet connection and installing older driver from asus website but first I installed ACPI driver to make nvidia optimus mode work
