• Switchable graphics card

  I have a HP Pavilion g7-1167dx Notebook PC with Windows 7 x64bit Home Edition. Is the switchable graphics card, which would be better upgrade for games or other compatible cards?

  I think you're asking if you can replace the existing graphics card with a new one?

  No, unfortunately this is not an option.

  With your system, you can switch to 8 GB of RAM. Done that and uninstalling unnecessary programs can help performance.

• Upgrade to Windows 10 & option lost switchable graphics card

  Sorry if this has been discussed before. I looked for a solution for the last hour, and I don't have much time today. I need to solve this problem as soon as possible. My problem was when I upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop Windows 8.1 Y40-70. This laptop has the video card Radeon R9. After you have installed Windows 10. I lost the option when I right click on the desktop, the option "switchable graphics card. The laptop detects only the Intel version in the map.

  Is there a solution for this yet? Thank you

  Hello:

  There is no graphics card AMD switchable for my model, even with a BIOS update.  That is right.

  Or is it still be grayed out as in the current state.  That is right. An update of the BIOS will do nothing to allow you to change the graphic memory settings.  Everything will be grayed out as before.

  So if I overload a game settings, from the middle to the extreme, this means that most of the 3 GB memory graphics will be allocated to catch the game? Or even will not use the 737 MB dedicated?   The laptop will initially use all the dedicated memory.  If that wasn't enough, he will then consume the maximum (2.4 GB) memory system available and put it to the chart.

• I have upgraded to Windows 8. How can I get the switchable graphics to work?

  Windows 8 was released a little over a month and several users have had the desire to upgrade their laptop for Windows 8.

  However, the laptop doesn't have any Windows 8 at HP software, because it is not yet approved for Windows 8.

  This usually results in video cards being turned on so only used Intel graphics card.  Some symptoms of this is the laptop is running more hot than usual and the battery life is significantly short due to these two cards being fed at the same time.

  This isn't an official solution to this problem, but it worked for me and others.

  1. install the HP software framework found here.

  Credit for finding this link goes to CherylG.

  2. then, uninstall all ATI/AMD software through programs and features.

  3. go to www.hp.com and select Support and drivers at the top.

  4. Select software downloads and the pilot, then enter your product model or product number.

  5. Select the most recent operating system corresponding to your installation of Windows 8 bit architecture.  For example, Windows 7 64 bit for 64-bit Windows 8.

  6 download the ATI graphics card driver.

  7. run the file once it is finished downloading.

  8. let the finished extraction process, but cancel the installation when you are prompted to continue after extraction.  Note where this is extracted to.  By default, this should be c:\swsetup\.

  9. here, there should be a setup.exe to install the ATI driver.  Right-click it and select troubleshoot compatibility.

  10 follow the troulbeshooter of compatibility and select the suggested fixes.  On one screen, there will be a button of test program.  Click here to begin the installation.

  11. follow the installation and it must successfully complete.

  12. Once completed, right click on the desktop to check that configures it with the switchable graphics option is listed.

  Once this done, switchable graphics should work fine on most systems.  This translates into reduced heat and charge the battery lasting longer.

  While this may not work for everyone, he worked for many users.

  I hope this helps.

• HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

  So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

  Hello

  After the PC starts to open the window RUN and enter: MSINFO32

  If the BIOS on your PC version is version 8, and then review the information below.

  HP Secure Boot Windows 8 themes Computer does not start after the installation of a video (Windows 8) card  

  A word of warning: the reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

  Thanks for posting on the forum.

• Pavilion p6 - 2120t: Windows will not start with the new graphics card

  Installed a Zotac GT 740 profile down in my desktop PC graphics card HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t and now the PC does not start.

  HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t CTO desktop PC

  Configuration:
  Intel Pentium CPU [email protected]
  4.0 GB RAM
  Intel HD Graphics Driver version Family: 8.15.10.2291 dated 27/01/2011
  Motherboard: IPISB-CU (Carmel2) (1 open PCI Express 16 expansion slot pins)

  BIOS to Version 7.18

  Running:
  Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit w/service pack 1
  Two monitors (VGA, 1 digital port 1)

  Before installing the new graphics card, I replaced the power supply original 300w with a 400w power supply.

  For starters, I disabled the onboard graphics in Device Manager. Then, I opened the case and installed the GT-740 in the open PCI Express slot. I made sure that the card was fully engaged in the slot.

  I plugged both monitors to their connections voted on the new map.

  When I tried to boot the PC, the digital monitor displays the screen HP (the one that indicates which key support to achieve the start menu) and then frozen. No other entries of key or mouse have been accepted.

  The PC then sounds 4 short beeps (about 10 seconds between each beep) and then a long beep before turning off the signal to the screen.

  Then, I removed the new graphics card on the PC that starts then. I have reactivated the original graphics drivers and the PC then worked normally.

  Tried the above process two more times with the same results.

  I then went into the start menu to look at the BIOS. The menu of the BIOS shows two options:

  > Sources of boot UEFI

  Windows Boot Manager

  > Sources of boot legacy

  ATAP I CD/DVD player

  SATA2

  Hard drive

  SATA0

  Network controller (Realtek PXE B06 D00)

  PC using UEFI Boot Manager Windows boots normally

  I have not tried Legacy Boot Sources because I don't know which one to choose.

  I went to the HP site and looked for an update to the newest BIOS, but updating them is a rev version 7.16 while my PC shows my BIOS to version 7.18

  I know that others have had a similar problem but I have not seen a solution that works for my PC.

  Any advice would be welcome.
  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  Your PC isn't spec'd to run Windows 7 using the Windows Boot Manager.  I expect to a UEFI-based graphics card likely to work on an HP PC that does not have a BIOS version 8.

  The below listed OEM HP, graphics cards should work in your PC using a normal non - UEFI W7 and W8 installation.

  

• Satellite L50-B-23F - how to move to the AMD graphics card

  On this laptop its says I have intel graphics card integrated over an Amd Radeon r7 m260 but for some reason its only using low-end intel graphics when I'm games. When I right click on the desktop and my window appears there is a tab to configure switchable graphics but the custom of thing open.

  Someone at - it ideas as to why its not switching or can it put me myself.

  Thanks in advance

  In Catalyst Control Center Power, click on select Maximum Performance when it is plugged
  Then in global settings of Switchable Graphics also choose maximize Performance
  Then click on the switchable graphics Application settings

  Now, you would be able to add an application (for example a game) that could use this graphics card settings
  Simply tap the exe of the game and add to the list of applications.
  After that, you will see the exe file in the list. Click the graphics settings and set it to high performance.

  By the way: this YouTube clip could be interesting...
  It shows you how to go to ATI GPU and best performance of the GPU.

• 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.

  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.

• HP G62 Notebook PC: Completely disable the secondary graphics card

  Hello

  I have a HP G62 Notebook PC that I bought a couple of years back. The problem I have is that the graphics card of (the age AMD) to the secondary address has been damaged by hardware components (probably due to multiple disconnections of power and unexpected stops). Everything else works fine. This problem is causing Windows to keep crashing through the blue screen, or not to display a picture at all after the Windows logo while booting. I managed to install Ubuntu on it and the operating system detected the damaged graphics card and worked around it (aka he turned off the power to the graphics card damaged and worked only using the Intel graphics card). My question is, is it possible to turn off the graphics card AMD to turn completely (from the BIOS maybe) so that I can re-install Windows and work on it using only the graphics card Intel?

  Please help, I'll provide more information if necessary.

  Please identify your laptop with its full product name or product number. You gave only a partial identification so far. I need I can take a look at the BIOS Simulator to see if it was possible there.

  Never mind providing the number or name of producty. I worked around it.

  I just took a look at the BIOS Simulator and found that there is no option to turn off the graphics card it. You may be able to work around it by removing the card.

  You can also replace the card with a card of the same work to find the switchable graphics feature. You should be able to find one to an online vendor at a reasonable price. If you don't feel able to do it yourself, then you can have the replacement carried out by a store.

• Cheesy screen with the ATI graphics card

  Hello everyone,

  is it just me or someone has this problem, too?
  If I change the graphics card (switchable graphics) on Windows 7 64 bit to the ATI graphics card, the display is much more "Corny" and the colors don't really that nice shows. It seems that there are horns on the screen.

  With the graphics card Intel, the screen looks sleek and 'normal' for me.

  I already reset the settings in the ATI Configuration tool, but it doesn't really help.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  (Another word for the problem if this can help you with my bad English: it's like the grain.)

  Hi, if you have a T400, maybe it's same case as below:

  In my case, dating back to 3.18 Bios fixed the problem of dithering.

• T500 switchable graphics card

  I had an opportunity T500 and read about it. How to identify if it has a switchable graphics card? When I go into the Windows XP Device Manager, I see a card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

  If it has ATI gpu, then it is a switchable graphic model.

• How to update the switchable graphics drivers and Dungeon 'switching' work?

  Hi guys,.

  I recently installed the new drivers by AMD (v.13.1) on my laptop HP Pavilion dv6-3060ej (Windows 7 64-bit), which uses the Intel HD Graphics and AMD Radeon HD5650 switchable graphics.

  The fact is that I met a few rendering problems on the latest 12.6 which supported my graphics and allowed soft switching between them. Version 13.1 solved my problems of rendering, but another question - it simply does not recognize my graphics card so that it installs only some of its features and leave the Catalyst Control Center features so I can't pass my graphics cards. I even tried to leave the latest CCC, but it comes with an error message.

  To summarize, my strongest Radeon HD5650 graphics card works well but I cannot switch to the Intel's HD to save the life of the battery.

  Any thoughts? Thanks a lot for your help

  Hello IBINATOR.  I appreciate that you try to upgrade your Radeon (with drivers AMD) graphics while keeping the switchable graphics in a working state.  Is this correct?

  This is workaround only to your question and you must have the game, Steam client, installed.  The HP driver for your graphics card contains a driver for the card from AMD, the Intel card and switchable graphics framework.  You can then use the game client, steam (through a partnership with AMD), to update the part switchable graphics system AMD while keeping graphics intact.

  1. Remove your current AMD drivers using this utility and restart your laptop.
  2. Download the latest version of the drivers from HP.  Here is a link.
  3. Install the driver and reboot again.
  4. Follow the steps in this thread to use steam to update the graphics driver.
  5. Restart one last time and check if the problem is resolved.

  Let me know the result.  In addition, have a wonderful day!

• Switchable graphics in Windows 8?

  Hello (please forgive my English waste ).

  I recently bought and installed windows 8.

  The transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 was smooth and relatively flawless, but I have a question:

  My computer (HP Pavilion dv6) has 2 graphics cards, one to save the battery (family AMD graphics card) and the other for games and other (something AMD radeon HD graphics card), but given some of the games I ran smoothly at a framerate high on the old operating system runs badly with a very low framerate, I don't think it changes the graphic card it uses. I downloaded and installed an updated for the 'gaming' graphics card driver

  Is it possible to make it again change? I want to say that I can do at the moment?

  Thanks in advance,

• Satellite P305-S8822 - withdrawal of the dedicated graphics card

  Dear members of the forum,

  probably due to a fault of the graphics card dedicated to my

  Toshiba Satellite P305-S8822 (PSPC4U - 02T 014)
  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T 5550
  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card
  3072 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM
  200 GB Serial ATA hard drive

  I'm not able to install Windows 7 or an another Version of Windows. Because I don't have the dedicated graphics card (only the onboard integrated graphics card) and found no BIOS option to turn it off, I would like to remove it from the motherboard. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out whether or not the ATI graphics card is welded (which this would make very difficult). Thanks a lot for your answers and a better idea to solve the problem.

  To be honest, it won't be easy to solve your problem. Why?
  Many people who have mobile machines the same logic valid for desktop computers. Exchange upgrade or hardware components on mobile units is very limited and you can simply swap the GPU or change the BIOS settings.

  If the GPU is faulty in many cases entire motherboard must be replaced. I don't know what other people will write here, but what you can do is contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice what can be done about it.
