I saw this in the answers section...Worth a go...

 

I have an Asus N53S 6Gb / 1080 laptop with 540M and Phoenix failed to detect Nvidia GPU.

My solution: download 540M graphics driver and utilities from nvidia website.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvist​a-64bit-280.26-whql-driver.html

Then change nvidia setting (control panel) from 'let program decide' to 'always use nvidia' or something like that. I changed nothing in the phoenix preferences.
All works like charm now, no problems anymore.

 

Here is the whole thread...might be some helpful info there.  http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/how-to-fix-nvidia-s-optimus-to-recognize-second-life/qaq-p/980637

No.

You need to upgrade that.

If you aren't spending at least 3k on a laptop you get exactly what you deserve.

Heartaches and headaches.

Glad you're sorted out and happier.  But we'll make this a learning moment while I'm still awake.  The i7-2630QM is a quad-core processor and SL is (historically, mostly, accidentally) a single-threaded app.  Under certain particularly active conditions it will use about 2.5 cores but steady-state is 1.0 plus-or-minus.  And that will look like 25% CPU in many system tools.  The 'Performance' tab of 'Windows Task Manager' will give more detail and you'll probably see one core pinned to the ceiling.

I think this may be part of the reason on why my machine get better performance when I upgraded Windows a few years ago. I had a three-core processor, and that would be one core for Second Life. What I recall is that the more-recent network driver didn't seem to choke so much.

But thanks for the info. This motherboard is getting a bit old, but it sounds as though I can stop drooling about the prospect of a 6-core CPU. USB-3.0 still looks worthwhile, for other reasons, and that has to be motherboard.

(3-core AMD CPU, 4GB of RAM with 64-bit Windows 7, but the hardware is getting old...)
