I recently got an Alienware 15 R4. It has an intel i7 8750h CPU and an Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU. The screen is the non-gsync 60hz 1080p panel.

I remember reading that systems WITH G-Sync can't use Nvidia Optimus because the discrete Nvidia GPU is constantly working. However, my system does not have G-Sync, so it should support optimus. I know this was the case in my previous Alienware laptop.

My question is, does my new 15 R4 support Nvidia Optimus technology? In other words, can it switch to the Intel integrated graphics to save power?
