dual graphics cards?

y at - it no gain in the use of twins sli graphics cards? see if you have two cards gtx 260 how would win you? It would be double the memory cards or you get a percentage of the second card. hope it's a no-brainer. Matt remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

On average, according to a test TomsHardware.com, I read but can't find yet once you get an 80% increase in performance with a second graphics card.

  • How to get the dual graphics card to work together?

    I have a satellite L series with dual graphics card that works together. Its an AMD Radeon 3400 m apu with a built-in HD 6520 G and a discreet graphics of 6400 m.

    The 6400 m turns on never, I used the amd system monitor to see if it is already in use, but it's never.
    Even if the 6520g is at full load it lights.

    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    As far as I know, this topic has already been discussed here in the forum and the switch between internal and external ATI GPU is not supported.
    Just designed by nVidia Optimus technology is supported
    So you can switch between the GPU from Intel and nVidia (if both would support Optimus technology)

  • Dual graphics card port to use 2 monitors on my HP a6614f

    We have a new HP a6614f and run the 2 monitors. It will be used for text and business, applications do not play.

    Does anyone have a recommendation on what type of graphics card works with this system? The computer has 2 open PCI Express x 16 slots and a 300W power supply.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    If you just need decision-making supported dual monitor, you will not need to upgrade the power supply. It is really only necessary for game cards that does not fit your situation. As for what the card specifically, I can't recommend a specifically because really, you can't go wrong with any of them! I recommend the following guidelines when looking for a card:

    • Make sure that they have double video outputs
    • Look at those $ 100. They work for you.
    • See if they need an extra power connector. Try to go with those who do not have a need. Those who can function in your system, but it depends on the map.
    • Make sure that the resolutions are supported by the card to work for your monitor. Applies if your screen is very high (above 1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080) resolution.

  • Reviews for dual graphics card system with Pavilion a6130n monitor?

    I am keen to implement a system of double screen with Pavilion a6130n running Windows XP.  I tried to use edge nVidia GeForce with nVidia 2nd card in the expansion slot.  Apparently embedded is not usable with another card in place.  My next thought is to connect two monitors on a nVidia graphics card (using the VGA and DVI ports (with adaptor if necessary)).  Will this work?  Can anyone suggest a suitable video card to accomplish?  Thank you very much!

    No problemo.  Don't forget to remove the video driver on board.  You are looking for a large heat sink if you go with a passively cooled GPU.  The 7200GS runs HOT (80 c) with heat sink base (no fan).  Practically all dual DVI out 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx will support two monitors.

  • T510 - Dual graphics card

    I bought a T510 with Intel HD graphics and an NVIDIA NVS 3100 M Optimus graphics card running Windows 7 64 bit.

    How to switch between the two graphics cards use?  I only just found out that the Intel HD Graphics card, which seems a waste when I have NVIDIA card.

    Thank you

    I guess that the NVIDIA card has a higher discount rate.  The Intel HD gfx card hurt my eyes at 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz.

    Y at - it an application installed to manage NVIDIA Optimus, Optimus technology more as an API.

    How can I force the operating system to use the card NVIDIA, my eyes is more important than the life of the battery.

    And you would be a mistake, the maximum refresh rate is detected off the coast of the LCD itself. If you attach an external monitor that has a higher refresh rate, you would be able to select it. 60 Hz is the standard for TN slabs.

  • S Dual of the HP 4530 graphics card problem

    Hi guys!

    So here's the deal. I bought my laptop HP 4530 s 5 months ago and it was working fine until I started to play games. Since it has dual graphics (Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD series 7400 M) he only reads integrated graphics card (which is an Intel) and no AMD, I tried to download and install the drivers for the graphics card, AMD and it says 'unknown material', but I know it's there because the pilots were showing that I have dual graphics card , but since I have recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8 this problem has happened and I don't know how to solve this problem, Please HELP!

    Please see the HP ProBook 4530 s Notebook PC - Driver and software downloads page of Windows 8 drivers for your computer. If you downloaded the drivers from AMD, these will not work because the drivers are customized by HP to support switchable graphics function. Install the provided HP AMD Video Driver and control panel Windows 8 should solve your problems.

  • Need help with the AMD Radeon HD M 8750 + HD 8000 Series Dual Graphics

    I recently bought the 15z-j000 ENVY and updated with the AMD Radeon HD M 8750 + HD 8000 Series Dual Graphics. I wanted the dedicated HD 8750 M for games and whatnot. When I opened first to the top of my new laptop, I did a clean install of Windows 8 from a USB key. This completely erased all of the HP preinstalld drivers, software, etc.

    I installed the beta drivers for my laptop from the site Web of AMD.  Here's my problem. How will I know that my dedicated video card working properly? I ran a few games and they seemed to do as well. But when I checked my system with CPUz and dxdialog it says that I was running the graphics card integrated. How does the dual graphics and how can I make sure I take advantage of my dedicated card. An explanation of the depth and how for the use of the AMD solution dual graphics card would be apprechiated.

    I'm no expert on the switchable graphics, but you find the answers to your questions in the Overview of the switchable graphics or Dual GPU or switchable on portable graphics equipped with double GPUS and AMD.  Be forewarned however, documents were written for the HP PC using the appropriate HP, drivers if you use the Beta from AMD drivers, then documents may not match what you see on your system.

  • cannot operate my Radeon graphics card

    HP Pavilion DV6-6190us, windows 7 64 bit,

    Hi, my laptop has a switchable graphics card: intel & Radeon HD 6770 M

    I use heavy graphics applications such as MAYA and play heavy graphic games. The problem is, in my opinion, my laptop is using the graphics card intel instead of Radeon. Games are much slower than they were. I don't hear the cooling fan most!

    How can I make sure that the Radeon is active and running?

    Hi, please go through the below weblink, I hope that they would find useful. Using the ATI Catalyst Control Center application, you can manage the dual graphics cards.

  • HP Envy H8 - 1540t - graphics cards double, Pcie 3.0 support

    I have 2 questions about the use of dual graphics cards and Pcie 3.0 support in my machine.

    The machine is:

    HP Envy H8 - 1540t

    Win 8 64

    I7-3820 2nd generation

    10 GB OF DDR3 1600 MEMORY

    256 GB SSD

    1 TB SATA hard drive 7200 RPM

    Blu - Ray player

    TV tuner

    Prem N - Wireless Lan and Bluetooth 2 x 2

    600 Watt PSU

    NVidia GTX 660

    This machine uses the card mother Pegatron IPIWB-PB and has 2 Pcie x 16 slots. I realize that using the width double GPUS like GTX 660, the small Pcie connectors next to them will be buried, rendering it useless. They are so my 2 questions;

    1.) Will 2 Nvidia GTX GPU 660 is in good physical shape within the machine and be supported?

    2.) this motherboard with a Intel X 79 chipset does support Pcie 3.0?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can find information on the following OFFICIAL link, it seems that it only supports PCIe Gen 2.0

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03132964#n241

    The image of the motherboard (see above) and the following picture of the 660 GTX, simple answer: 2 cards will not be in good physical shape.

  • Workstation HP Z620 dual xeon: really only 1 6-pin power connector on the graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a question about the HP Z620 workstation.

    recently bought a dual xeon with 960 GTX installed on the 6-pin connector.

    as I can't find any other power to use nor on the power connector

    or nowhere on the set, I wonder how a graphics card must be powered only

    needs

    1 x 8-pin

    or

    1 x 8-pin + 6 pins

    or

    2 x 8 pin?

    I know there are some discussions about this in this forum, but I did not understand

    the solution. Some said there are adapters to go 6-pin to 8 pin (or 6pin to 2x8pin)?

    But how is that possible?

    like many, I know, 75 watts are max of the pci-e connection, 75 other watts Max for 1x6pin.

    so plug any adapter, 1x6pin for graphics cards that need much more power would be

    According to the standard / danger, right?

    and what about graphical installation double?

    would be happy if someone around could help me with this.

    best regards

    Chris

    The search box on this page by default search only this forum, and it is very convenient.  If you type "extra", you will find a lot of info.

    The Z620 has two of these 6-pin cable, and HP got creative and molded into two empty containers down to the black plastic fan holder before.  So, one is being used by you and the second is sitting there plugged and similar, it is used, but it is stored just it did nothing... the fan is powered differently.

    These extra HP 6 - pin PCIe power cables are not standard ATX... they are better.  The ATX standard is 75 watts can go up to the card out of the slot, and another 75 watts can come via the additional 6-pin cable.  HP 6-pin cable can do a bit more.

    This is the message that you want to read, and there there details that were not in any of the HP manuals that I searched through, but the answer was on the label of Z620 power supply.  12V 18A each, plus adding info on some special HP adapters that allow you to take a HP 6-pin and divided to two 6-pin connectors or cable HP 6-pin connector 8 pins.  Watch here.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1154 does support Dual AMD graphics card?

    I have a Pavilion p7-1154 - serial number {removed privacy} - the motherboard is an AAHD3-HB (stock MB) made by Pegatron. I updated the stock 16 GB of Corsair vengeance 1600 6 GB 1333 RAM and upgraded the processor an AMD A6 3600 to an AMD A8-3850, all according to the guide of HP upgrade for this machine. I've also updated the PSU of 300w for a 500w 80Plus Bronze certified PSU Corsair stock.

    Now that's what I'done this day - what I want to know is the MB (AAHD3-HB) does support Dual AMD graphics card, using the proposed graphics cards, I would use a Radeon 6670 GPU.

    Mike

    Mike, after consultation with the other members, I think that double graphis is unavailable because it is not indicated in the specifications.

    However, here is a Youtube video on the CPU.  If you do not find that you were able to use it by a change in the BIOS, please share this information with the forum.  Thank you!

  • Graphics card dual monitor will fit in an HP Pavilion Slimline s3600z

    I need to run two monitors to my HP Pavilion Slimline s3600z.

    My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit.

    I'm not a gamer; I teach in virtual classes and need to spread out the screen on two monitors.

    My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE.

    The card offers the ability to set multiple views, so I bought a splitter.

    Unfortunately, this does solve the problem.

    I bought a low profile with two connections graphics card, but it was too big for the case.

    Is there a card dual monitor low profile that fits the business slimline?

    Here are the specifications of your HP CTO Slimline s3600z desktop. According to specifications, your computer has a power of 160 watts. This power supply is unlikely to fuel a retail graphics card. The simplest method to use two screens with your computer is probably a adapter USB-to-video EVGA + 19.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1313sh Notebook: dual Radeon graphics card - cannot enter bios mode fixed

    Hello!

    I recently bought this laptop apart from my friend and is struggling with this for a few weeks now.

    I was on the forum every day for a few hours without result.

    so, my laptop is HP Pavilion 1313sh g6 with Win7. I have the latest version of the bios, so I could put my gpu bios mode set instead of dynamic.

    Here's the problem... When my setting was dynamic, I got the "switchable graphics" option and I could put the preset by application. as many people pointed out, it really does not work, so I went back to fix.

    This option is now missing. so I tried in CCC, following this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03048374 in the fixed bit.

    It is, I have no change option... I only get the graphics card AMD Radeon Dual 'activate' or disable... but not the button to switch permanently to the highest performance card... checked in CCC, it recognize my 2 cards under hardware (1st HD6520G 2nd is Hd7400M).

    I start to tear up the rest of my hair. Please can someone tell me what I miss? as said, the most recent drivers from the site is all settled.

    Thank you!

    Hi @SmokeyJohnny ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion g6-1313sh Notebook and issues with graphics switchable. You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    If this does not resolve the problem would be to uninstall the graphics drivers listed in your device manager. Reboot the laptop and it must be reinstalled the proper drivers. Yours is the AMD Radeon HD 6520 + 7450 Mr. here are your drivers if you need.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Try changing the cables, if they are of the same type.

    I think that the problem is a damaged cable.
