Activate the integrated graphics controller (Acer Aspire M3970)

Hi all

I hope someone is able to tell me if it is possible to activate the graphics controller embedded on the Acer Aspire M3970.
When I bought the pc, there was already an external graphics card in one of the slots. It contains only a HDMI and a DVI port, and the integrated graphics card has the possibility to use a HDMI and VGA port.
I was wondering if it is possible to use both the external graphics card and the integrated graphic card so I can use 2 HDMI ports, the VGA port and DVI port.

I know that most of the BIOS have an option to choose between what graphics card to use, but I can't seem to find it.
I thought I'd find in: BIOS > ADVANCED > Integrated Peripherals, but I don't have options:

Hi poepsmurf2

As far as I know, you cannot use the graphics card and the edge together. You can buy a card with 2 HDMI or VGA and DVI ports.

I hope this helps!

  • Qosmio F50-126: how to activate the integrated graphics card?

    Running Windows 7 on F50 - 126.
    After checking my specs on the site Web of toshiba, here are the details on my graphics card: -.

    Manufacturer: NVIDIA;
    type: NVIDIA; GeForce; 9700 M GTS supporting TurboCache; technology
    memory: 512 MB dedicated VRAM (up to 1 791 MB of total available graphics memory using the TurboCache™ technology with 3 GB of system memory)
    memory type: GDDR3 (800 MHz) video RAM (resp. RAM video and system memory combined)
    connected bus: PCI Express 16 x

    I want to know if I can turn on my integrated graphics card. I know that clicking on powersave suppose to turn off my 9700 m and go to the integrated card, but the laptop did not want it actually disabled.
    Like, watching a video or a game of battery the difference between "Powersafe" and "Balance" is not that much.

    The computer seems to work at full power.
    Because I remember when I had Vista installed, the game and used trolling videoes. But on windows 7 it doesn't. Anyone know how to activate the integrated card?

    I have my computer updated completely and everthing... How d I do not know if my card is turned on or off?

    Hi mate

    I'm a bit confused of m.
    Why?
    Because you ask about activation and deactivation of the graphics card (integrated).

    First of all, there is ONLY a single graphic chip!
    It s a GeForce 9700 M GTS graphics card.

    The graphics chip supports the 512 MB GDDR3 own (he dedicated video memory s) and it s is always available!

    In addition, the chip supports shared system memory. It depends on the available main memory!

    For example:
    * With the help of Win 32 bit system *.

    System memory: * 2 GB *.
    Dedicated video memory: 512 MB
    Shared system memory: 767 MB (using 3 GB of RAM you 1279 MB)
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 1279 MB (1791 using 3 GB of RAM)

    System memory: * 4 GB *.
    Dedicated video memory: 512 MB
    Shared system memory: 1279MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 1791 MB

    * With the help of Win 64 bit system *.

    System memory: * 2 GB *.
    Dedicated video memory: 512 MB
    Shared system memory: 767 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 1279MB

    System memory: * 4 GB *.
    Dedicated video memory: 512 MB
    Shared system memory: 1791
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 2303

    As you can see the use of Win 64-bit and 4 GB of RAM would be better for the graphics card as the use of the file Win 32 bit with 4 GB of RAM

  • Disable the integrated graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 15 L502X. So I recently installed a game called Wolfenstein: The New Order. And everytime I start the game I get an error known on the web as "wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed".

    I know that the cause of the error is that the game keeps identifying my integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000) as the main graphics card so that I have a dedicated onboard graphics (Nvidia GeForce GT 540 M, 2 GB dedicated memory).

    The problem is that my integrated card only supports OpenGL 3.1 and below, although my GPU supports up to OpenGL 4.0. I know for a fact that this GPU is able to run the game and YES I already chose my GPU as the primary graphics card under manage 3D, the global settings settings AND parameters of the program specific AND even tried setting the PhysX Configuration as the GPU itself at unsuccessfully.

    I also tried to disable my Intel HD 3000 by Device Manager (couldn't turn it off via bios), but whenever I do so that turns off the display of my laptop. However, I have a TV that my laptop is connected via HDMI. If my laptop screen is transferred to my TV and I can not change/turn my laptop displays ONE unless I had to re - activate the integrated graphics card. Strange in my opinion!

    On the other side, I ran the game without the integrated graphics card (when), and the game runs very well! CLEARLY the GPU (GT 540 M) is able to run this game, although the game is not identify him. Instead only identify the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 card or identifies the onboard graphics as the main reason any!

    Need help please, I want to play the game on my laptop screen not on my TV... Also on a side question, is it possible to completely disable my integrated graphics (Intlel HD 3000) without losing my screen? If so, how?

    Thank you for your time.

    EDIT: I discovered that a similar problem, I used to have with another game (watch dog) on the demanding game run my video card to support DirectX 11 for the game (so it never ran), now works correctly when I turn off my integrated graphics card and use my TV as my main screen! EVEN IF my GT 540 M is to satisfy the minimum requirements for the game!

    You can switch between graphics cards - Intel low performance for graphic intensive application of navigation/less graphically and using nVidia graphics high-performance hungry applications in graphics resources like games.

    You can take a look on the link shows to switch between the graphics card Intel and discrete graphics (nVidia, in your case):

  • How to activate the onboard graphics on a cartridge to calculate UCSME-1414?

To use it, I need to activate the "Integrated graphics" option in the BIOS, but it is grayed out (see screenshot) and I'm unable to change the option.

    Is there a way to activate the integrated graphics card?

  • HPE h9-1001de: HPE h9-1001de - broken graphics card can I use the integrated graphics card Intel?

    I bought this PC four years ago (just the version, not CS as in the link):

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03106002

    The integrated graphics went broken today. Research on the spec Web site I noticed that the Intel's integrated graphics. I won't buy another video card, if there is a graphics processor integrated into the processor.

    Indeed, there are two additional DVI ports; However, they are sealed with a sign "DO NOT REMOVE", and each port is sealed with two screws with a strange format (star with six faces?).

    Why these DVI ports are sealed? Why with this format live strange? I hope that's not for licensing reasons, and that I'm still able to use them as DVI ports...

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I don't think it is sealed for any other reason than from your PC with a video of the add-on card, they would not people plugging in these ports DVI cables and by calling HP support complaining that the video does not work (because an add on card disables the integrated graphics card).

    Remove your discrete PCIe x 16 graphics card, so the built-in graphics card is enabled, put your hand on the good size torx screwdriver and remove the cover, so you can use the integrated graphics card adapter.

    "Amd Radeon Hd 8500 m" is the series to which belongs an AMD HD 8570 m.
