[optimus] intel graphic performs faster than nvidia

hey folks.

nvidia PowerMizer profile is already set to Maximum Performance.

glxgears result

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.717 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.059 FPS

glxgears result
intel

mn@localhost ~]$ vblank_mode=0 glxgears

40030 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8005.974 FPS
38780 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7755.880 FPS

any idea guys?

as explained here

It's the same for me, but in games it is totally different, I have a much better performance with the Nvidia card. You shouldn't use glxspheres/glxgears to mesure performance.

i’d leave it here anyway

UPDATE:
here’s the result with unigine valley:

conclusion:
when it comes to benchmarking your optimus setup, do not go near any of glxgears or glxspheres
