How to disable a GPU dedicated to Dell Optiplex 960

I use an ATI Radeon HD 4550 with Dell Optiplex SFF GX960 (BIOS A08), sometimes I want to save energy by opting for the Integrated GPU (Intel GMA)... My question if there is a way to disable/enable the GPU dedicated without removing the motherboard.

I tried to disable in the BIOS in the category of video settings I found 2 modes Auto and Onboard/add in card, when I use Auto and set the display the Intel GPU it causes a "unsupported video Configuration interrupted system!" and asks me to fix the screen to the dedicated card, while the other mode ignores the totally integrated GPU.

Thanks in advance

No, the only way to turn off is to remove it. This isn't a laptop.

But there is no power gpu switching.

  • Is it possible to disable the GPU dedicated Satellite L850

    Is it possible to disable the GPU dedicated on the L850.
    Through the BIOS or something else, so that the laptop works on the onboard graphics on the CPU.

    Thank you

    Hello

    What L850-xxx you exactly and what dedicated GPU support?

    Laptops that support technology Optimus (with nVidia GPU) could switch automatically between the GPU (Intel) internal and external nVidia GPU and it depends on the application running.

    In some cases, you might choose weather, that an application must use internal GPU Intel or NVidia GPU.

  • Dell OptiPlex 960 - hardware virtualization

    I am trying to install ESXi on a Dell OptiPlex 960 5.5, but I get an error message: "HARDWARE_VIRTUALIZATION WARNING: hardware virtualization is not a characteristic of the CPU, or is not enabled in the BIOS.  However, I believe that it is a feature of the CPU and is enabled in the BIOS.  Here's my hardware information.  Any idea would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Intel Processor ID utility reports the following:

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3 .00GHz

    Supports Intel virtualization technology

    Does NOT support Intel VT - x with Extended Page Tables.

    Intel site reports, the UC DO take support VT - x.

    ARK | Intel & amp; #174; Core™ 2 Duo processor E8400 (3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 6 MB Cache)

    BIOS is up to date on the A18

    Intel virtualization technology is enabled in the BIOS.

    Intel VT for direct i/o is enabled in the BIOS

    Intel Trusted Execution Technology is enabled in the BIOS

    The TPM secure security is enabled in the BIOS

    VT. Reports for the two processors

    VT is disabled in the control of the MSR function!

    I can tell you with certainty if it works, but I would say that you ensure "VT - x" as well as "Execute Disable" are both enabled, and the other option you mentioned (VT - d, execution of trust, TPM) are disabled.

    After you change these settings, make sure you feed the cycle (power/power on) the PC after you have saved the settings. A simple reboot is usually not enough.

    Hello! I recently acquired a Dell Optiplex 960 (the larger one) and it comes with the integrated graphics card, so I was wondering what graphics card I put in it?

    I used an OptiPlex 960 SFF (Q9650 processor) and 8 GB of RAM as a development machine. I installed a Sapphire 6570 graphics card and had absolutely no problem; the 6570 will be a huge leap in performance and features on the integrated graphics card.

    In Device Manager, it will appear under "other devices" like 802.11n NIC

    The device status is: the drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

    Select 'Update Driver' is unable to locate the driver.

  • How to disable the "Insert smart card" dialog box keeps appearing after the connection?

    Running Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop Dell which includes and integrated smart card reader. My configuration does not require a smart card to log on. I was wondering if the smart card reader has worked, I plugged a card chip used on another system. The driver is installed automatically, so it appears the drive works.

    Now, whenever I log in, the "Insert smart card" dialog box is displayed. If I cancel or close the box, he continues to reappear every few seconds. How to disable this behavior?

    Update: this is somehow connected to Outlook 2003. I have 4 different e-mail accounts. The "Insert smart card" box appears only when checking for my att account (yahoo), which is configured by using POP3.

    Go to the Services.msc and check the settings for the smartcard (manual test) service.

    PS 29 December 2011

    The position of the OP, have been reported since a lot of this problem on the some notebooks Dell and HP. There are a few reports that a replacement of the motherboard fixed the problem and the other that the relocation of a certain connector (no mention of exaclly one that) solves the problem. Direct contact with the manufacturer of the laptop computer, Dell or HP wether, might be useful. Try a follow-up if you have already made contact.

  • New MacBookPro (2010) - VMware releases GPU dedicated... why?

    I use a monitoring tool that indicates if the Intel HD GPU or the dedicated Nvidia GPU 330GT is running at any given time, so I can clearly see that from a virtual computer triggers the GPU dedicated, which means that my MacBook Pro consumes a lot more power.

    The virtual machine (Win XP Pro SP 3) is in mode single window with 3D acceleration is disabled.

    I can't imagine the advantage of the GPU dedicated on that internal in this scenario. Any thoughts? Any chance to get back on the GPU inner in the interests of greater autonomy?

    My understanding is that any time a program uses OpenGL, OS X will switch to the discrete GPU. Fusion uses OpenGL to draw the poster comments (even if you have not enabled 3D acceleration), which means the discrete GPU is still used while the merger is running.
