How to enable NVIDIA Advanced Optimus in Razer Blade laptops

Updated: 27-Mar-2026 | Answer ID: 4585
This answer contains information about Razer laptops that utilize NVIDIA Advanced Optimus.

Selecting "NVIDIA DDS" in the BIOS enables Advanced Optimus which allows systems to dynamically switch an internal VESA Embedded DisplayPort laptop display panel across different display adapters, offering better battery life, performance, and benefits of G-Sync and high refresh rate.

Note: Systems with DDS (Dynamic Display Switch) support will not have GPU mode switching via Razer Synapse to avoid any conflict with GPU mode switching via NVIDIA Control Panel.

Below is the list of Razer Blade models with support for NVIDIA Advanced Optimus.

How to enable and use NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

  1. Click on the NVIDIA Control Panel on your system tray.
  2. Expand "3D Settings" on the left menu.
  3. Click "Manage Display mode".
  4. Choose any of the three modes under "Display Mode" to enable NVIDIA Advanced Optimus:
    • Automatic Select
    • Optimus
    • Nvidia GPU only
      Manage Display Mode window on the NVIDIA Control Panel

Automatic Select (Default) - When the user selects this option and an application that is in DDS allow list is launched, an internal display switch to discrete GPU will be triggered. The display switches back to integrated GPU only when the last application that is in the allow list is closed.

Optimus - When the user selects this option, the display will switch to integrated GPU irrespective of any existing application running or the AC/DC state of the system. Under this setting, the system will behave like MS Hybrid system. The rendering will follow the rules set in the "program settings" or "global settings" page under "Manage 3D settings" of NVIDIA Control Panel.

NVIDIA GPU only - When the user selects this option, the internal display will switch to discrete GPU irrespective of any existing application running or the AC/DC state of the system.
