Automatic graphics card switching

How can I activate the graphic card automated switching, where the system chooses to use the Nvidia card or integrated graphics card Intel?

I recently bought a Lenovo Y580 and installed a 120 GB SSD with a new installation of Windows 7. I downloaded and installed all the drivers from the Lenovo site, but am still unable to use the button "graphics" on the laptop; the button that is near the right speaker. I take this means that my Y580 does not switch between Intel and Nvidia.

You must press the button revoery before startup to enter Bios MEMU. It forms that you want to move down the list of Configuration. can search for graphics device. Make sure that it is on the graphics of swichable instead of the graphics card UMA for the active card Nvidia graphics.

Also in the Nvidia control panel you need to peak each program individually so that the switchable graphics will work on INtel or Nvidia.

    Hello

    Most graphics cards require BIOS version 8 HP.  BIOS version 8 is listed under Windows 8 for your particular model PC.  While the BIOS version 8 will probably support your new graphics card, you might find yourself stuck that Windows 7 will not work using the UEFI. You can install BIOS and then turn on legacy mode and see if the card works. However, if the card is a single card UEFI well then you are in a situation of 'catch' 22 In this case, you would have the BIOS later and W7 should always work in legacy mode.  Even with this BIOS update running in mode inherited that there could be some risk that W7 will not work.  Once you update the BIOS there is no coming back.

    Another thought.

    There are no Windows Ultimate 10 version if upgrading to W10 (free upgrade) would you put on the professional version W10. I do not know if that would suit your needs. However, if you have a place in the upgrade by using the W10 iso DVD or flash drive then you could extract the W10 license key so that your could do a clean install with legacy mode turned off in the BIOS that puts your PC into UEFI mode.

    You have a few risks to consider.  In addition, HP has not posted the W10 for your PC drivers.

    What would I do?  I'd go for it, but then my wallet could be deeper than yours.

    Hello, I believe that the answer lies in another thread that they keep as a «sticky' at the top of this section "Display/video"

    so here's the link to that thread, that you shows how to download the right driver BIOS and graphics, then how you set it manually in the BIOS for fixed, if that's what you want.

  • Alienware 17 - integrated graphics not detected in BIOS - cannot switch to the integrated graphics card

    As the title says, I own an Alienware 17, bought around November of 2013. My NVidia GeForce GTX 770 M runs like a champ. But I can't go to the integrated graphics card (should be Intel HD Graphics 4600). I tried the Fn + F5 (several times). It is said that it is "optimal". Tried with the laptop plugged in and not plugged. I looked in Device Manager and there is only a single index card (NVidia) view. I then booted the BIOS and it said: 'Integrated Graphics - undetected. " I have the latest BIOS version available on the support Web site.

    Don't know what to do at this point. I should have integrated and discrete, but only discreet is detected. I want to be able to switch to the Intel card, so that I can mess around with things like the Intel WiDi and want to also DO NOT perform my NVidia card all the time, and because I'm not playing games all the time.

    Any ideas? All support staff out there who can help out me?

    Cub... I think I might have answered my own question... My laptop has the option to display 3D 120 Hz. For this reason, 'Optimus' technology is not available (I think I say this right), and so I can't go to the graphics card Intel because of the way the 3D display is wired. There is a YouTube video that I saw what explains the all (link below).

    "Alienware 17 with 120 Hz 3D display has no integrated graphics":

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=RJ3IRvCkllg

    Then... Not sure that I'm too happy with Dell right now. One of the advantages that I looked forward had to be able to change maps and play with some of the features of the Intel WiDi map in particular. When I bought the laptop, I was not made aware that I would lose the functionality of upgrade of the screen to get the 3D option. Would have been nice to know, so that I know what are the trade-offs.

    Hello

    I was wondering if somehow I could replace my current Intel graphics card with NVIDIA GeForce card. I am a player a bit PC and did not like the preformance of my card Intel HD 4600. I've been setting up with her for almost a year, but it was a little annoying to play games at 20 fps and low graphics, always with a lag.

  • I have a problem with my graphics card in switching

    Hi Dell Community

    I recently bought a laptop Dell Inspiron 5521.

    I opened a video game and noticed it was a little laggy on high detail settings (Dragon Age 2), I went in the configuration of the game applet and discovered that I could choose between two options for my display driver (both options are 4000 Intel when it comes to be the dedicated AMD graphics card).

    I opened the CCC and allowed the game to use the high performance ~ ~ ~ didn't WORK

    I tried to disable the card intel 4000 in Device Manager ~ ~ ~ MADE things WORSE

    I opened DXDIAG ~ ~ ~ for some reason, the two '1' and '2 'sign up as Intel HD 4000 display

    There is no settings in the menu of the BIOS to disable the Intel HD 400

    I really want to play this game in detail using my dedicated graphics, ALL SOLUTIONS?

    Shabibo

    Thanks for the reply.

    The game does not work with the AMD GPU.

    I will try to update the game and get back to you on this one.

    Hi SHABIBO,

    We truly regret the inconvenience caused to you. Please check the same thing at your convenience and let us know.

    You should consider to remove two video drivers and install them again. Please let us know the version of windows installed on the system.

    Dell doesn't have this option. To get the GeForce GTX 765 m, you'll need to buy the card mother AW14-R1 and have a local technician do the work. Call 1-800-357-3355 Dell spare parts and ask for prices and availability, or perform an Internet search for the 5-digit number. Motherboard numbers are related to the operating system.

  • Problem with graphics card

    Hello!. I have a problem with my laptop. So I know that when I bought my laptop it has an AMD HD 3450 graphics card but in dx diag, it shows that I hava a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family and I don't know why. Could you please tell me why it doesen't recognize the graph of amd or at least if intel is better than amd, and in this case can you tell me the model intel please.

    Answer as soon as possible. Thank you!

    Hello @CrazyWolf ,

    To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

    Even if it is a Commercial, Switchable Graphics function product allows you to switch between the use of the graphics card Intel and a discrete graphics like AMD controller in a computer. For example, you can switch between the battery life improved graphics Intel when running on laptop battery power and performance capabilities of the graphics controller while the laptop is plugged into current alternative. Your laptop automatically goes to the Intel graphics card if the computer switches to battery power, or he can pass to the discrete graphics if the computer is plugged into current alternative. Some computers use third-party software to perform the switch.

    I hope that would explain it.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion p6 - 2020t: HP-Pavilion will identify the new graphics card

    Hello

    I got a HP Pavilion for a few years now and never updated my BIOS (not that I know well). I'm trying to install a new graphics (gtx 750ti) card and the computer does not recognize it. It shows the first screen, and then a black screen and a beep, then it crashes. Keyboard does not work, cannot get into the BIOS.

    I tried everythign with current BIOS, boot legacy and ensuring that the Integrated GPU is disabled, and nothing works. I also did research on food, and but it is not terrible, it should work with this graphics card (the fan even spinning).

    According to my research, the current BIOS is simply not recognize, and I need to update. My current version is: FRIEND 7.16, 05/10/2011

    I navagate through the HP website and it said that the automatic update should update the BIOS for Windows 10, and it won't let me download all drivers (although the last BIOS update was 2011). I tried to enter the FRIEND's site and download it from there and it won't even install their drivers, it says that flash is not supported (probably for Windows 10).

    If someone could give me an idea of how can I get a newer version of the BIOS for my motherboard, it would be much appreciated as I'm pretty sure that's the reason why the computer is not recognizing the new graphics card

    The risk is that the video card is one that is for a newer PC with an EFI BIOS. That's why the empty card is not recognized.

    If you use a card equipped with a switch on the virtual card allowing the use in legacy and uefi BIOS it will work with the BIOS of your PC.

    Sapphire makes video cards that have this capability. Take a look at the catalogue. What you need is a PCIE x 16 card video with switchable legacy\uefi BIOS or legacy support, but not only UEFI.

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_tech.asp?cataid=8 & lang = eng

    You cannot change the type of BIOS that your PC has in the UEFI.  It's a question of his being of a generation of diferent from the PC.

    Hello

    I have a p855-10j
    When I check my graphics card with a right click on desktop I sw that's 4000 Intel.
    I do not see nvida 630 m anywhere.

    How can I make my default of 630 m and disable intel?
    I wanted to install the latest version of the nvidia 301.42 driver but could not. Why?

    Hello

    The nVidia GPU supports Optimus technology.
    This technology automatically switches between the (external GPU) nVidia and Intel HD GPU (internal GPU).

    Is possible to set a GPU in a single program. For example, you can choose the graphics card to be used by a game or photo editing software.

    So can force and simple application to run and use the nVidia GPU.
    This can be done in the nvidia Control Panel.

    1. click on start and then Control Panel. Select Classic view in the left side of the window.
    2. double-click on the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    3. click view, and then add the "Run with graphic processor" Option to the context Menu. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.
