Hi,

just wondering what this is? I thought it was to do with the GeForce cards?

'NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology intelligently optimizes your notebook PC, providing the outstanding graphics performance you need, when you need it, all the while extending battery life for longer enjoyment'

I think it's mainly a battery charge extending technology for notebook/laptop computers.
It's not part of NVIDIA Geforce GPU's.
