    Does anybody know the status of proper Optimus support with the proprietary NVIDIA driver?

      Excellent work! I'm eager to try out some Pascal overclocking now that the feature is available.

      Additionally, the GTX 1060 works fine with 367.35 drivers too since I've been using those drivers with my GTX 1060 for quite a while. Maybe the 'official' support will add additional features with the new revision.

        Supported and working well for the last 5 years.

        Run-time GPU switch still no supported because of limitations of the X11 architecture.

          first thing: untrue, (if you think that an always one dedicated gpu means "working optimus" I don't want you ever be part of a QA team. Don't lie to yourself)
          second thing: also untrue. (yeah, and that's why open drivers support that already )

            the problem for proper optimus is x11 and intel drivers

                  Good news! The latest 370.23 beta driver release (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/105855/en-us) contains initial, experimental support for PRIME Synchronization! For reasons explained below the functionality can’t be officially supported yet, but if you’re brave enough, all the pieces are there to try it out. I noticed that there is some confusion about what exactly PRIME is and how it works. In addition to explaining how to set up PRIME Synchronization, I’m taking this opport...

                    And what about mobile G-Sync support? still missing? :-|
                    Hi guys. Is there any information on whether Mobile G-Sync is supported or on the way? I’ve got a Clevo P750DM-G, 1080p@60hz G-Sync eDP panel, 970M, Mint 17.3 running the latest 4.5 Kernel and 364.12 drivers (that was some mucking around…). No G-Sync option in Nvidia Settings. Similarly, I noticed the Windows drivers lack G-Sync support for this laptop in the latest iteration (364.72) and I had to roll back to 362.00 in Win10. I’m guessing there’s a list of G-Sync enabled BIOS cookies that ...
