Display controller The display controller interprets software commands into hardware commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off. The display controller also controls the video mode and uses industry standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of colors that can be displayed at a time. Therefore, software written for a given video mode will run on any computer that supports that mode. Legal Footnote (Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)) For more information regarding Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), please refer to the Legal Footnotes section. Graphics Control Some NVIDIA graphics models may include NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology feature. NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology intelligently optimizes notebook performance by seamlessly switching between a discrete NVIDIA GPU for great graphics performance and an Intel integrated graphics chip for sustained battery life. Switching is automatic and does not require the user to reboot the computer. In the Manage 3D Settings menu of NVIDIA Control Panel, you can change the global 3D settings and create overrides for specific programs. The overrides will be used automatically each time the specified programs are launched. Please use the default setting for NVIDIA Optimus technology. If the program does not run normally after the setting has been changed, please restore the program to the default setting. If the program does not run normally, please restore the Preferred graphics processor to the default setting. When you use some video playback programs to play video files, the preferred graphics processor in the "Program Settings" tab cannot be changed to the graphics other than "Integrated Graphics". To access the Program Settings, click "NVIDIA Control Panel" -> "Manage 3D settings" -> "Program Settings". To launch the NVIDIA Control Panel, Click Desktop -> Desktop Assist -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> NVIDIA Control Panel.
