I bought a (gently) used Samsung NP-QX410 off of a friend. Just to be safe, I wiped my HDD clean and reinstalled Windows. I have the proprietary drivers for my model from Samsung. Now, when I go to play a graphics-intensive game that I *know* worked splendidly for him, the performance is not even half He had, and I keep getting graphics driver crash notifications in the system tray when there's a spike of high demand on the graphics.
A little googling shows I'm stuck with one of those awful Hybrid graphics chips. It's supposed to be a GeForce 310M/Intel hybrid, but the Nvidia portion isn't being used. The driver crashes I mentioned are for the (default?) Intel HD Graphics, and I can't figure out how to get it to utilize the NVIDIA gpu
