Games that use older versions of DirectX also are affected.

And... this would be a bug affecting every system with optimus?

Thanks for the link, I've added this issue to the page now.

This might simply be the result of a different GPU scaling option being used. I've suggested that possibility in the forum topic.

Houston, we now have a solid explanation (which can be further understood by reading this)

EDIT: I don't really know what I was thinking. Anyhow, it's probably nvidia and whatnot switching their driver to the "harmonized" api microsoft gave them (instead of whatever hack they were doing with older WDDM/Windows).
