Brightness unadjustable for 'High Performance' in the graphics card technology switchable
Hello
I just made the transition to Windows 7 Professional on my Thinkpad R400(2787-A31)
However, after installing the driver for Thinkpad switchable graphics card, I am unable to set my brightness if I use mode performance. My laptop comes with ATi Radeon 3470 and Intel GMA 4500MHD.
I have already installed most of the drivers, and after a few tests, I realized that it was the switchable graphics driver that cause this problem. Before the installation of this driver, I've been on the ATi Radeon all this time and I can change the brightness.
I hope someone can help me with this problem of driver. My installation of the drivers was the support page. All except the controller PCI of communication Simple to their drivers.
Ok........ I think I solved the problem by upgrading the BIOS with the latest version. I don't know why it would solve the problem, but it worked!
A link to the version of the BIOS 3.09/3.10 is listed below. Good luck. It is the version I've used.

Performance of the graphics card on the Satellite P100 - 10 p
I have a near new Satellite P100 - 10 p. On paper the performance figures was intrigued, but I was disappointed with the graphics performance:
1 games tend to have a temporary frame rate slowdown every 3 seconds approximately.
2 Media players often begin to play choppy (especially Windowns media player and DVD to win)
Is this a bios problem?
If this is not the case, what I can try?Post edited by: [email protected]_ZA
I've updated the BIOS, but the problem is still evident.
Hello
It is not the BIOS or the problem but the problem of Vista.
If you install XP on this notebook, you will notice a huge graphic performance increase.
I found this message here in the forum posted by Jack_Black:

I found this very interesting discussion and I need to clarify something.
You n t need to upgrade the BIOS to another version to play the different games on the Vista operating system.The games couldn't t work properly because of the Vista OS.
Several weeks ago, Microsoft released and fix that resolves some problems with the Multi-GPU support on Vista. This is useful for users who use the computer gamer with 2 GPU
http://support.Microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3ben-us%3B936710Now, Microsoft has released patch which solves the problems with the use of virtual address space. It is a reason why some games crashed or didn't flow normally.

I tried to figure out if I can update my graphics card and I was wondering if I could, and what graphics card would be better for my laptop for high performance on the game.
Hello
No, it uses the CPU/processor AMD Quad-Core APU A6-6310 2.4/1.8GHz:

You will also need to change the motherboard and it is a very expensive upgrade.

My dv9700 use for video when the graphics card is disabled?
Hello!
I've had my dv9700 for about four or five years now. A few months back I started getting blue screens with an error code of nvidia. Turned my video card went out due to overheating, so I sent it have fixed output card (reflow). It lasted me until now, but the card is finally out again. I would try to start each time, I would get the error screen and blue nvidia even code (again, it is a hardware problem is not a problem of driver/software). However, I was always able to access safe mode, then I disabled my NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GS display adapter through the Device Manager and now I can start normally.
So my main question is, what is my laptop using for video now that the graphics card is disabled? I noticed something called 'vgasave', but I don't know if that is related. Also, someone said that my processor could limit the video feature (?).
Second, what is the extent to which I can use this new video? I noticed that some programs do not run. In particular, I can no longer connect to my TV via HDMI. Is there a way to get around this?
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance!

My laptop has the Northbridge: Intel PM965. Do you know of anyway to increase this functionality (IE allow a HDMI connection)? I know that at this stage I should just get a new computer, but it would be nice to be able to resign from the attached web enabled TV. Maybe I could use the external monitor (VGA) port, since it is analog rather than digital?
Thank you very much for your help!
The pleasure is mine!
You're stuck with the video produced by the MCP67N. You can replace the video module. They should be available for a decent price on eBay. VGA is analog. You will find a disappointment.

Satellite P10 and the graphics card driver updates
Hello
I'm a newbie on this forum, but let's get to the point. I have Toshiba Satellite PSP10E (PIV 2.8HT 800 Mhz, 1 GB of system memory bus speed and UNFORTUNATELY a GF 5600go...).
My (not only) problem is that Toshiba use engineering video BIOS version and it does not have the latest drivers for the geforce series. The most up-to-date driver that really works is the last of the series 5xxx... so you can see that none of the newer games can be run with a performance on this map... because older drivers don't use really not (available at directx9.0) 2.0 pixel shader. It would not be a problem if Toshiba would give an update not only BIOS system, but also the bios video (new system BIOS contains the same old video bios.I really had to settle for playing games that are 2 years old? First of all pay a lot of money for a witch of the computer has enough power to run some new but don't care support Toshiba for this...
I was the proud owner of a Toshiba laptop, but I'm not! If I had to choose again, I decide to buy computer Toshiba...
My Question: is that Toshiba will do something with this problem? Someone knows how to help? Thanks for any help (I have not found such a problem in this forum, sorry if it has been the front sign) and sorry for my English (hope that's understandable)
My video Bios is: v4.31.20.56.A6[Edited by: admin]
Hello
We know that you can not install the drivers downloaded from the download page of GF because of the restriction of material. It's not only the Toshiba models, but also on other producers of portable and if you visit the download page of graphics cards, it is always recommended to download drivers designed by the manufacturers of portable.
I think that nobody can explain why it's because I'm sure you know the reason. The performance of the graphics card will always be a topic of discussion and you will always want to have maximum performance for games with laptop, although performance may not be the same as on the desktop where you have the possibility to change the graphics card and install the latest drivers.
Because of this, I think that it is really unnecessary to some turbulence here. Believe me, you can buy what you want, but after two or three years you will be always satisfied with something.
In any case, good luck and enjoy life!

Hi Man Com,.
I suggest updating the video drivers from the manufacturer's Web site and make sure that direct X is enabled in the graphics card Control Panel conrtol.
For more information, you can consult the following articles:

I know my GTX 460 is certainly slowing down and planning buy better card.
Question is: how the right card to buy?
How use of the graphics card is in Premiere Pro? It's something like just help for processor or do a half work?
Buy GTX 780 or just 760 or about 780 price halp?
To render faster than you suggest to buy new processor and good graphics card or leave the processor and buy Hi-End graphics card?
Hackers Page - what video card to use?
It looks like that particular 460 is not a very good card for this computer because there is not enough VRAM for MPE material. A 650 looks like more than enough.
Article:
Check the bandwidth of your current card memory and compare it to the expected update map. For example, a GTX 460 is faster than a GTX 650 because of bandwidth memory. Only if bandwidth memory is higher after the upgrade, can you wait a few performance WINS If the rest of the system is to him

Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games
Hello
I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.
I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?
I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?
Thank you
Hello
In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

Hello:
Graphics cards cannot be updated simply.
You will need to replace the motherboard with another which would have better graphics (if available for your model).
This would cost as much buying a new laptop, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such a venture.

Recommendation for the graphics card?
Can anyone help with what the graphics card, I need for smooth playback MP4?
I begin barely using files of my new Sony NEX-5 mp4 and edit in PE and find that my computer will not play them without jerking (this is not really a problem of items that I have the same problem in Quicktime and other media players). Playing .avi files is fine. Can anyone recommend what graphics card I could buy to get a smooth playback? (I have the latest version of the driver for my old card and it is now classified as a legacy).
Details:
Windows XP Pro SP3
Two Intel 3.2 GHz processors
3.00 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card
New card must be compatible with my Matrox RT. X 100 video card.
Thank you very muchMP4, as AVCHD files are highly compressed and take a LOT of power to play smoothly, because the CPU has to decompress the video images during playback of calculation
That decompression is not made by the graphics card... your machine likely never has simply not enough power to play smooth... especially as is the case with all stakeholders
Also, what is the configuration of your hard drive?
My 3 hard disks are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1-320G WD Win7 Pro 64 bit and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 file and video project files
3 - 1 t WD all video files... read and write files
.
Try to use only a hard for video editing
.
You are a conductor with a stick that you use to point to different parts of the Orchestra... it is like Windows pointing to different parts of the hard disk to clean Windows or load segments of emissions for various functions
.
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while using the wand to direct the Orchestra... to take a bow and play a violin... it would do something with your video file at the same time as all other work
.
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
.
A computer is a LITTLE better, because it allows to switch from one type of task to another very quickly, but not quickly enough for easy video editing
.
A hard drive is not as good as two which is not as good as three -

Satellite L300D - cannot find the XP driver for the graphics card
Hello
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D and I installed Windows XP (instead of vista, which was preinstalled). I can't find the XP driver for the graphics card... Everest recognizes him as ATI RS690M. A download link will send me straight to heaven!
Thank you in advance,
Nikos
PS. of course, I searched the display on the sites of several Toshiba driver and I got this message: "the resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
After that, I tried the driver from ATI, and it seems that they are more home driver for XP.

Thanks Civil3Dave
Hello!
I n t have experience with Autodesk Autocad and I put t know why you ask if the graphics card will be cooled but on each laptop the CPU, the GPU and chipset will be cooled if it of necessary. If the laptop overheats.
Maybe you should check the system requirements for the programs you want to install. So you can determine if the graphics card is compatible with the programs.
I hope I could help a bit.
Good bye
