Make sure it's enabled. I have a R1, it can actually run games pretty well... think L4D2 and FO3 on high. I don't think you'll get much more out of it(BF3 would be a no go I think), just keep it to basic games and it has more than enough performance though

it should be find because it runs on a low res screen. medium settings should be playable.

Even nicer because you seemed to have bought it "accidentally"!
I mean, while not knowing it's worth double or maybe even triple the price. Nicely done, sir!

Im assuming what i have is the R1. It looks like i need to use the "binary graphics" switch, but when i press it nothing happens... any ideas?

That's a killer deal you got too. The R1 isn't worth remotely close to $600 btw, not when I price my R2 at only $1,100 with these specs.

However $230 is epic awesome. Slap a SSD in that thing and pack 8GB into it and you'll be golden.
