hmmmm seams i reported my self.. on acident.. so my post was deleted, but I found a solution! anyways had a few hour of uninstalling an reinstalling drivers. Nvidia kept swapping back to my discrete card or would not let me use Optimus. turned out I had to disable discrete card in BIOS. after that I could do a clean driver install with no discrete cart interfering. works like a charm now ;D

Thanks for the help so far. I got it all up and running.. But I have a problem. My Thinkpad w520 recognizes the card, and I can install drivers for it, and it shows up in device manager. but it seams that the system still wants to run the Discrete or the internal gfx card. I tried disable the internal card, no luck. I also uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers. Nvidia control panel tells me "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU." What can I do?

Well. I just double checked. The power brick I have fits. But it's v12 a3. The one you point out is v12 a12. Is it a problem?

Thanks. Ill try the 12 volt monday, as I have such a thing laying around. The DP2 will not be here before late next weak. but my graphics card is ready monday.. too bad I didnt know about the 12 volt 150w option the card i bought only max'es out on 120w... (I ditched the ASUS as I read it has some power spikes).

Hello and thanks for a great threat I bought a exp gdc and waiting for delivery. I have just 1.5 question before i buy a GTX 960 to go with it. 1.: I gather the 220w Dell power brick is sufficient? (the two cards I look at is around 90-120w and peak at 130w). 1.5.: Is it important if the gfx-card is 6 or 8 pin when used with the Dell brick? and a less important question, do I need any cables to return the signal to the laptop (thinkpad w520/x220)
