does the GPU switching is automated??
Or we need special software to control it?

I have no idea. I figure if his notebook is plugged in, it would automatically go into turbo mode. It really depends on the notebook model. I'm sourcing my information from the CPU's specifications, which don't cover how notebook manufacturers chose to impliment the CPU.
EDIT:
Unless you mean notebooks with two GPUs. In which case, they're usually switched by a button, I think.

my CPU uses SSSE3, and if your PC can handle SSE 4.1 use that, if not ssse3 works fine

It does not make sense that the IGP would turbo along side the CPU.
Please think about that one.
I'd swear it's obvious why it wouldn't...
On top of that,
the IGP merely gets a core overclock.
This does not help an IGP's greatest downfall at all (allocated memory).
Also-- a notebook does not have to be plugged in to turbo,
nor does being plugged in make it happen.
As for the processor--
Core i5 and i7 are the only Intel CPUs with Turbo Boost.

maybe you need to learn to READ tallbender. I do not keep up with hardware. what did I say? if your PC can handle SSE 4.1 use that
