Re: Optimus Solution found!!!! Using my Nvidia card in my Alienware M11X R2!!!
Look my tests with libjpeg-turbo and turbojpeg-ipp:
1) libjpeg-turbo-1.1.0:
I got around 170fps without VGL_COMPRESS and around 130fps with
VGL_COMPRESS=jpeg.
2) turbojpeg-ipp-1.11.1:
I got around 290fps without VGL_COMPRESS and around 350fps with
VGL_COMPRESS=jpeg.
My hardware:
Asus Eeepc1215N,
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a76 (rev a2)
NVIDIA ION2 Optimus.
Att,
Ellington Santos
