I recently got my 15"/16/512/750m rMBP and Bootcamped it the first day I got my computer. Whenever I search for tips on running Bootcamp on Macs, all I can find are tutorials for installing bootcamp, and idiots that can't do it right...

So I come here asking if anyone has any advanced tips for running Windows 7 in bootcamp. For example, on one forum, someone pointed out that running the screen at 2160x1350 by setting up a custom resolution in the Nvidia control panel looks much better then 1920x1200 or 1680x1050. This is because that resolution is a perfect 75% scale of the native resolution, so it scales much better. I also set the zoom to 125% and have found most of the UI to be much crisper.

One big annoyance that i have run into is the inability to easily remap the fn key to ctrl. I found this article which I'm going to go through this weekend to remap the fn key so I can crouch normally in all of my games. Might report back on if I get it working right.

Also, is there anything about getting switchable graphics to work out? The windows drivers for the Iris Pro, and Nvidia 750m had to both be written because of the entry level 15". I don't understand why Apple didn't allow use of the Iris Pro GPU in bootcamp...

So, does anyone else have anything of this sort that they want to point out?
