Everything went well on the first sight.
But the battery is very fast empty, and the CPU is working very hard.

So I checked it with powertop. I don't know if this correct but I saw 2 video cards????

So I checked it with lspci and yes there are realy 2 cards???

lion@simson:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 650M] (rev a1)

My question are:
Why are there 2 cards?

Which one is my ubuntu using?

Do I have to install the original driver(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.40.run) from the Nvidia site?
