Duplicate Monitor w/ 2 GPUs (Wirks)

I am using the Wirks package (Sony HMD, etc.) and running it with a Dell M4600 that has an integrated Intel HD and NVIDIA 2000M discreet GPU. I have discovered that with the NVIDIA Optimus Technology that comes with the two GPUs that you can not duplicate screen displays under "screen resolution" - "multiple displays". The laptop screen is on the Intel and the Sony HMD is on the NVIDIA automatically because of the HMDI connection.

From searching online I have tried a few things:
1) disabling the Intel graphics through device manager and having everything go through the NVIDIA but then the HMD does not show up as a monitor.
2) disabling the Optimus technology at the BIOS level and having everything go through the NVIDIA but then the HMD does not show up as a monitor.
3) updated all drivers and BIOS

Under "screen resolution" resolution you can extend desktop across the laptop screen and HMD, which will work. I was just curious if anyone had another idea or knows of a way to duplicate screen when you have two GPUs and Optimus technology?

Thanks
