Question on this pc

Does this laptop have dual graphics, or is it disabled? I know that it has compatible graphics cards and should make the 6775m, but its only listed as switchable.

I"m guessing switchable as in it uses the 'onboard' video (APU) until it needs the power of the discrete 6700 GPU. Not really a dual as in 2 different monitors output.

So its not a dual graphics its just a integrated, or discrete?

 

[scottiemedic]

Either or is right. It uses integrated, then if you game or watch DVDs or whatever the computer deems needs more video power, the Radeon part kicks in automatically (through the same port you are already hooked to). It does it without your input. That help clear it up?

Yea, thats what i thought, but was really hoping for the Dual graphics mode, but that sounds good too. So I can easily save battery or faster graphics. Thank you for the help!
