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!

  • Cannot update the GeForce graphics drivers on laptop DV6-7099eo

    As the subject says, I can't upgrade to the latest geforce drivers. Why is this?

    My computer is: HP Pavilion DV6-7099eo

    OS: Win 7 64 bit

    Error message (trying to install the latest drivers from nvidia): this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.

    I also tried to run dxdiag and one display tab appears, namely the Intel HD Graphics 4000. Should not be a second tab with the GeForce GT 630 M?

    I'm not the only one to give up easily, and I can say with joy the official beta NVIDIA driver, version 306.02 works very well for me! Could install without problems! And the computer works much better.

    So if someone else has the same problem as me, get the 306.02 version (beta) or later (when available)!

    Hello:

    You must use this driver...

    This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

    File name: sp55092.exe

    You will never be able to update the switchable graphics driver, so after getting things working again with this driver, you will need to leave well enough alone.

    How to upgrade drivers in Windows XP
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/HT/updatedriverxp.htm

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
    (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with
    their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
    site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and)
    software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - reset after each
    installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
    This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
    install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check manually
    by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • How to update the drivers NVIDIA for Pavilion dv6755el.

    Hi, I know it please tell how to update the video card driver, in which rirectory GB installed, because I stood Blue Shield and microsoft has identified that the video card driver is not updated, I followed the procedure of upgrading HP but found no drivers. ? I downloaded directly from NVIDIA updated for my card, but I can't find where the original, but the installer says C:\Nvidia... Thank you

    I don't think it's asking you where to install, it can ask for a place to decompress the files, so just say ok the location by default, he suggests. If the installation does not continue after developing files, switch to that folder where it expanded their and find the Setup, the exe file and run it.

  • 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.

  • How to update the model of RDS for Windows Server 2012 collection?

    Hi team,

    I want to know how to update the collection of RDS model (model master sysprep) which is used to create the collection?

    I tried the below way but did not get the update of the collection of virtual machines.

    -Start the image of mater of sysprep

    -install the required components

    -resysprep the image and stop it

    -East went to the RDS Collection and added new virtual machines in collection (removed the old his)

    Once created, I opened a session in the machines, but I don't see the updates (I installed some software in the sysprep image however and no is not there in the virtual machines in the pool)

    Can someone let me know if I need to create a whole collection again or the way I do it is a proper way? If it's a good way what could be the reason why I get the new installed software model sysprep image in virtual machines created in the pool, based on the model?

    How do we actually updated for security and other regular patches updated in virtual machines? In my view, we use the same approach?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
