[GEM-dev] NVidia optimus on Linux and Gem

[erich]

hello,

i would be also very interested in this discussion.
i still use my Dell Precision M70 with a 
Quadro FX Go1400 which has been an excellent machine
and still is.

but new OGL options like geometry shaders etc. are 
tempting to explore but not possible with this card.

best

erich
