Yes, but you had to do that via BIOS. Now it's as simple as opening an app.
Yeah, I guess on the fly switching can be handy. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference to framerates though, at least not in the tested machine.
Well, you need games that need more than your available vram for it to matter. Faster, dedicated vram (gddr instead of regular ddr) would probably make more of a difference below that threshold.
