Selecting Performance Modes
Selecting Performance Modes
Your computer is equipped with the performance selector switch for changing the performance mode without restarting the
computer. With this switch, you can choose one out of three performance modes: two distinct modes that use a specific video
controller and another mode that automatically selects an optimum one between the two.
!
While any software application that prevents your computer from changing the performance mode is in use, selecting another mode with the
performance selector switch may not change the performance mode. In such a case, close the application. The selected mode will automatically be
activated. Changing the performance mode without closing the application may cause loss of unsaved data.
When you use the HDMI output port on your computer or the DVI-D port on the port replicator, select the SPEED or AUTO mode with the performance
selector switch.
