Hope that this helps.

Dang it - formatting destroyed again... Thunderbird - The bane of email on Linux...

One more attempt:

Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison as I'm on Ubuntu, but just to show that Nvidia still supports this card (I'm on the same laptop -
m6700 - though lower powered GPU).

I have enabled Optimus in the BIOS and also installed bumblee for Optimus [1] support.
