• Switchable Graphics and ATI Graphics Driver disappear (BIOS update)

  Then the other day, that HP has insisted on the behaviour of one of its annoying BIOS updates on my Pavilion dv7.

  Before the update, I was able switchable graphics and could pass the ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 something the 5650 (I'm sure I have these numbers). in any case, now, a few days after the update (which I believe I installed on 19 January), I noticed that my switchable graphics options have disappeared, as well as my option driver ATI Mobility Radeon 5650... large. So now games graphics look significantly bad and slow because I can't spend to the best driver. Thanks, HP.

  So, the question is how to get back my switchable graphics and other driver? I was looking around and found some - related posts that can be useful for people who seek to answer this question, but aren't really help me:

  If you answer this, please try to keep it in easy English and avoid a lot of abbreviations, I won't understand. Just consider me like a fool when it comes to installing and uninstalling the drivers and try to make simple instructions. Thank you very much!

  Hey man, idk if you are still working on it, but I have the solution.  Basically, HP has two updates for each laptop model; one for laptops with integrated graphics card only and another for laptops with switchable graphics.  Unfortunately, the driver for laptop with integrated graphics card only has been the default driver in this update.  Instead of trying to reinstall the older driver, just install the new correct driver.  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. go on http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

  2. the website can automatically detect what dv7 you have.  Just click on the button "start detection".  It will ask you to download something, but its ok.  Do it.  Then just click on 'continue' and let it detect your system.

  3. There should be a screen that has 'Detected list of products' on him.  Under where it is said that your model is, there must be a link that says "software and driver downloads".  Until it clicks.

  4. in the next screen, you will need to choose your operating system.  Select it and click "next".

  5. a list appears with all the drivers for different systems.  Expand the category that says 'pilot -"graphic  There will be several drivers (one being that shitty laptop with integrated graphics card only and another for great laptops with switchable graphics).  Read the descriptions of each and it is made for laptops with switchable graphics.  Download the right one.

  Once download you, you will need to restart your laptop.  When it starts up, it will be like new.

• How to install ati updates if I have switchable graphics (i5 y560 / ATI 5730).

  Is it possible to update my ATI drivers if I have a y560 w / switchable graphics?

  Official installer of course does not work.

  I read of a "Workaround" to run the official Installer, so that it can recover the files and then manually update pending. But it did not work, official installer would not start the download as I'm inconsistent, so I can not even at the stage where I can work with raw installation files.

  Also if I do something like that, wouldn't he break catalyst control center? and if so to break the switchable graphics feature?

  I actually found someone has 'hacked' or reconditioned drivers for 10.7 notebookreview forums used, has of worked, updated and kept switchable graphics / CCC Panel

  Have not tested but ran some benchmarks game (far cry 2, dirt 2) and his work certainly still at least LOL

• 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 g7-sr2377 Nr. D2H11EA #ACB problem with switchable graphics

  Hello everyone.

  I have a big problem with the graphics switchable on HP Pavilion g7-2377, it does not work.

  Main graphics card: Intel HD 4000

  Discreet: AMD Radeon HD7600

  I'm using a Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 operating system. Can someone help with this problem?

  Hello:

  The AMD driver install drivers for the AMD and Intel GPU.

  You can install the Intel driver or try to update all the drivers or switchable graphics do not work.

  It is the only driver that you can always use if you want the chart to work right.

  They don't update the graphics drivers switchable because it probably costs too much time and money to 3 companies to work on keeping up-to-date.

  The only time where they would never update switchable graphics drivers would be if there was a bug in that they come out.

• Switchable graphics: is it possible to use the GPU Radeon ONLY?

  Hi all

  I have two laptops: one is a Latitude E6420 and the other an Inspiron 14 Intel N4050.

  Both have switchable graphics; NVIDIA Optimus on the E6420 and Radeon on the N4050.

  I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit genuine on both machines.

  With the E6420, if I choose, I can either affect the GPU discreet default one or can I just go into the BIOS and disable Optimus, which makes the machine run only on the dedicated graphics card (I normally do, since I'm almost never far from an outlet.)

  Unfortunately, I have no such control with the N4050. I wonder if there's a similar way to disable shared Intel GPU on the N4050 in order to force him to run only on the Radeon graphics cards. There seems to be no way to do it via the BIOS, and I think that the deactivation of the GPU from Intel in Device Manager is not a good idea. I know I can control which GPU crosses where the Switchable Graphics method in Catalyst Control Center, but this function appears not yet to disable completely the shared GPU (which seems to take when running on battery - there is no apparent way to say with certainty what GPU no is used).

  Thanks in advance; your help is greatly appreciated.

  The answer is no, it's not.  The AMD GPU has no connection with the display device - all video data through the GPU on Board of the Intel processor.

  You cannot disable the on-CPU GPU - if you do, you will get no display at all.

• Pavilion dm3 AMD switchable graphics (HD4000 & HD5000) in Windows 8

  I have switchable graphics HD4225 & HD5430 discreet on my HP Pavilion dm3-2015er laptop.
  I use the latest version of the driver for Radeon (until HD4000) old - 13.1.
  But I can't find the driver to use my discrete graphics HD5430.
  Could you help me with this problem?
  I use Windows 8 starting November 1, 2013. I'm waiting for the compatible driver AMD 10 months already.
  HP does not support the 'old' portable.
  My HD4225 works fine now. I use the AMD driver. The level of brightness is adjustable. But I would use my discreet card also.

  I have attached the screenshot - it indicates driver for HD4225 and HD5430 versions and I see that do HD5430 does not for the moment.

  
  I have AMD switchable PowerExpress installed for my graphics. But when I click on the high-performance GPU button, that nothing is happening.

• Satellite Pro R850-10V - switchable graphics ATI 6450 M / Intel HD3000

  Unfortunately, right now the R series does not offer a switchable graphic option between the integrated graphics chipset (Intel HD Graphics 3000) and him dedicated ATI 6450 M.

  I have a model R850-10V with an i5 - 2410M and there is no option in the BIOS to such a choice, who would help a lot to increase the autonomy of the battery using only the onboard graphics for example.
  Could see us in the future upgrade of bios that would allow this integrated graphics?

  It's a shame, because all other important producers (HP, Lenovo, Acer) who use ATI 6450/6470/6490 M graphics integrated solution, updated their bios to allow a switchable graphics option.

  Thank you.

  > Could see us in the future upgrade of bios that would allow this integrated graphics?
  Very good question, but on the wrong place. This is the forum user and you will not get an official statement here.

  Let's see if Toshiba is going to change anything, and perhaps offer some update BIOS.

• AMD Radeon HD/Intel switchable graphics

  Hello

  Since I upgraded to window 10 I can't use my AMD Radeon hd graphics card.

  and I have not choice on most catalyst to switch from one card to the other, what I can do, basically my computer run only on intel HD graphics card, without any open gl, no games more...

  Thank you

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the situation is that you should not do the upgrade of Win10.  Their upgrade tool has done a really poor job of detecting switchable graphics before the updrade, and as a result, people like you end up with machines that are no longer fully functional.  Same thing happened to me.

  With switchable graphics, the only work pilots come from OEM making machines, because the material is suitable, so having to be engines.  MS does not supply these drivers any more than the video card manufacturers.

  So, without driver HP Win10 for your PC, you're stuck with only two results:

  (1) keep Win10 and faced with the problem of graphs

  (2) to return your PC to the original operating system.

  I chose the second because I prefer a PC with an OS more old where everything worked, to a PC with a new operating system, where things don't work.

• Preview of Windows 8 consumers: AMD Switchable Graphics - Unswitchable

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6004tx laptop and I recently upgraded to the consumer preview Windows 8 (Build 8250). I wish that some troubleshooting those who have / are affected by this and may have found a way around it.

  Insofar as the specifications of my computer is:

  Intel Core i7-2720QM

  6 GB DDR3 RAM

  64-bit operating system

  AMD Radeon HD 6700M

  Family of Intel graphics

  The problem in my display drivers. Some of you may also have a Switchable Graphics feature that is installed in your computer. But for those who do not, basically, what it is is a feature that allows to switch the display adapter to a GPU to save energy to a GPU performance and vice versa.

  In my case, as you can see above, the GPU performance is the Radeon 6700 M, while the GPU to save energy is the integrated Intel one. My problem with not being able to switch back and forth, as if I was able to come back on Windows 7. As it is a feature of AMD Catalyst Control Center, I searched their site and they actually have a version of supported driver for Windows 8 CP, although still in beta and sometimes glitch.

  http://support.AMD.com/us/KbArticles/pages/Windows8ConsumerPreviewDrivers.aspx

  (As you can see, my model: AMD Radeon HD 6000 M Series is listed)

  I rebooted after installing the control center, and a popup notifcation tells me that:

  "The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the version of the driver for your compatible graphics card. Please update your graphics driver from AMD, or activate your card AMD using the display manager. »

  I found this curious at first, my model was clearly indicated. But after an inference, I realized that my computer needs to run on the Intel integrated graphics by default. This has been further strengthened when I tried to play a few games and other applications (it would be a bit rough - also experienced before when I forgot to switch on GPU performance).

  The graphics card AMD Radeon used to have a mistake (the unit does not start. Code: 10) in the Manager of devices, but with a new installation of the driver got to AMD, it seems to work very well. However, my computer is still using the default Intel card, and I have no way to switch to the other GPU as catalyst will not start.
  
  Has anyone found a way around this?

  I'll give you a way to make it work!  He has listed there so many incompatibilities with the FIRST METHOD , you will not get use an Intel (less power consumption card) GPU to work after the changes! You have to wait until HP allows him to work properly or deal with the thirst for energy GPU AMD even in battery mode.

  THE SECOND METHOD listed works without any problems with the compatibility of all the apps BUT it IS demand the pace and order (can be comprehensive for beginners, no worries listed below has got all the information you need to make it work)

  IF the first option:

  NOTE: THIS WILL TRIGER OUTCONTROL EVENTS SO AS A PRECAUTION METHODS I RECOMMEND IN ADDITION AS WE GO STEP BY STEP _ DOWNLOAD CHROME IF RUNNING INTERNET EXPLORE (GRAPHICS CARD WORKS WITH THE GAMES BUT NOT WITH APPLICATIONS METRO THEY WON'T CRASH NOT JUST SE NOT LAUNCH)

  ALL METHODS BELOW TESTED BY MYSELF AND HAVE WORKED YET MUCH INCOMPATIBILIES WILL ALWAYS USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  I know all the games work properly battlefield 3 is yet to launch

  1 AT first make sure that windows UPDATE IS SWITCH OFF or let you choose to download and install (not automatically or it will update your device (in Device Manager) without your permission and all efforts are gone!

  2 uninstall AMD Catalyst "program and components" in Control Panel, and then uninstall all Intel and AMD devices in Device Manager in the control panel (unistal check pilot to pilot intel HD)

  3.reboot! After the restart, download this http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/win8/amd_catalyst_win8_consumer_preview _ [rc10] .exe

  and this

  ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53025.exe - 300 MB

  4. install sp53025.exe in windows compatibility mode 7 (it will unpack in C:/SWsetup by default)

  then start the istalation make sure that u choose a "custom", THIS IS CRUCIAL - uncheck the CATALYST (check all the rest intell driver amd driver ect.) do not restart after the instalation

  5. then start the instalation of windows 8 consumer driver overview of AMD.

  Uncheck everything (after that the sp53025 it will be only the AMD (check/uncheck) driver and catalyst box (check/uncheck) available) uncheck the AMD driver and install the driver CATALYST only!

  Reset! Enjoy! There is no CATALYST (only preference of intel and the settings where the CATALYST should be) click the mouse but switchable graphics is now awailable LIKE THIS

  Unfortunately you won't be available to choose between the INTEL and AMD! AMD now works by default

  All the .exe now recognizes 6770 m

  AND METRO APPS WON ' T WORK! AS internet explore will crash as you will open it

  SECOND METHOD, IF THE FIRST FAILS (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IF THE HANDS ARE MORE OR LESS STRAIGHT)

  IS PROVEN!

  THIS METHOD EXCLUDES THE SUBWAY APPS CRASH AND ALL INCOMPATIBILITIES REST WITH ALL PROGRAMS EXECUTABLES AND GAMES!

  Note: Requires knowledge to sign your own drivers, disable the application to start signing and modding some inf files.
  I am not responsible for any damages that may occur. This guide is not exhaustive.
  
  Requirements:

  • .NET framework 3.5 - can be activated in Windows 8, in "Turn Windows features on or off".
  • Windows Driver Kit (WDK) - Can be downloaded from here

  1. download the latest switchable graphics drivers from this site: leshcat IT blog tips & tricks: catalyst 12.3 Pre-WHQL UNIFIL for Switchable Graphics

  2. run the Setup program that will extract the content of the file, by default it will ask you to turn off "Signature enforcement of Windows", you will know that it does not work after restarting as a "Test Mode" watermark is added to the desktop, "Windows 8 preview of consumption."

• Switchable Graphics (AMD Radeon HD 7670) problem in Hp Pavilion g6 2305tx-windows 8.1

  Hello

  I would like to draw your kind attension to this serious problem, which I do face with AMD Mobility Radeon HD7670 driver for windows 8.1

  I use Hp pavilion 2305tx g6 that has double graphics. I bought it 6 months ago and it cost about 60 grand in Bangladesh.

  I was using Windows 7 and everything was fine. I could play every game I want, but after upgrade to 8.1 window, I am facing this switchable graphics problem. Device manager shows that driver was installed correctly but when I go to high performance for any game, it (game) is not responding but game can start without any problem in IE graphics Intel HD 4000 I cannot use my dedicated graphics card which I bought this laptop!

  Here too, no driver to blueooth. Specifically the driver Ralink RT 3290 Bluetooth. I found the driver for this hardware, but not suitable for windows 8.1. Okey BT is not a big problem, but what about the graphics driver? What is Hp? sleep? Where the drivers updated for Windows 8.1? How long I have to wait? As I brought it BDT 60 grand I have right to ask for updated driver and I want to that they as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Again, I chart AMD Radeon HD 7670 in my laptop and driver is correctly installed, but every time I spend my graphics to high performance I cann't play any game. It's because I'm not have good drivers for Windows 64-bit os 8.1.

  I've been looking for this driver for months, but I don't get a updated driver for AMD mobility radeon 7670.

  Please, I beg you! publish drivers for windows 8.1 updated 64-bit os.

  The problem is resolved. It took 6 months but in the end I finally thought to her

  Follow the steps precisely

  1. open this Pc or workstation then go to uninstall or change a program

  2 appears in the list, you can see graphics driver Intel & AMD Catalyst install manager. You must uninstall both in express mode so that no other previous parameter no longer exists.

  3. Firstly, uninstall the Intel Graphics driver. If you are asked for a restart of the pc to go for it.

  4. that the list appears, you can see AMD Catalyst install manager, right click and uninstall in express mode. Uninstall all components of AMD. Restart your PC because you will be asked.

  5. go on this Pc or my PC and then drive C. open Program Files and Program Files (x 86) the two of them, if you use the 64-bit operating system. In the search box write AMD and you find some removal files remaining them all.

  6. now your PC is free of previous records and other files. Although the right, click on sign Windows and Device Manager. You'll see graphic cards and uninstall both. This step is not necessary, but just to be sure that your PC has not previously installed drivers.

  7. open your browser and download the latest graphics driver for your PC Intel. My driver was Win64_153322. Install it. If you install it correctly you're at half way through. Restart your PC, if she needs.

  8 go to the AMD web site and download the latest version of the driver. To avoid the complexity best option is to download Autodetect. Because he will choose the best suitable driver for your system. The file name is amddriverdownloader.

  9. open the amddriverdownloader file and download the driver. Download will end and it will automatically start the installation. Install it in express mode. Restart your PC because you will be asked to do.

  10. I hope your driver problems will be solved. To check it out go to Device Manager and see if the drivers are installed properly. Turn on the CCC and try to play a game of High Performance. You will see that the problem is solved.

  Here's how I solved my problem of graphics from AMD. I've been suffering since I installed Windows 8.1 right after being released and today 15 Jun 14, I solved the problem. I can play any game in now high performance.

  If you think that my opinion is useful to you, please share it.

• Switchable graphics on Satellite L650

  Hi there everyone!

  I would like to really know if Toshiba plans (I hope!) to publish an update of the Bios for the Satellite L650, enabling the switch between the graphics card discrete and that soon included in the matrix of the CPU (i5 series).

  The so-called "Switchable Graphics" is already available on some Acer (Timeline X), some Asus laptop and other brands, and I'd really like to see it applied on Toshiba laptops, at the risk of increasing the autonomy of the battery (double it or even more) and are just more efficient and "greener".

  The Toshiba L650 I mean should have all the necessary elements: Calpella HM55 chipset, i5 and 5650 mobility (and Windows 7).
  Why not take advantage of something that can be used even on this laptop?

  Thanks to a bouquet. :)

  Hi Dany

  It is user forum and nobody here knows with certainty what Toshiba will do in the future.
  As far as I know Toshiba has offered some BIOS updates for all models in the past so I think this will happen for your laptop model too but what will be new in this update of the BIOS is not easy to say.

  So, you have to wait and see what happens the next few months.

• Pavilion dm4 (Windows 7) - Switchable Graphics is dead

  Pavilion dm4t-1100

  Windows 7

  64 bit

  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics card

  For the past year, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 is always on, and I'm unable to switch to the Intel HD Graphics.

  If I open the Catalyst Control Center, nothing happens when I click on Power Saving GPU. In addition, Intel HD Graphics does not show as an option in the drop-down list (see below).

  

  However, the Device Manager shows the two devices and gives me the option to disable the two:

  

  I have a Manager friend who works on Intel graphics issues, and he advised I have download and reinstall the graphics Intel HD since the Pavilion dm4t-1100 driver. I did, and when I try to reinstall it, I have this message:

  

  Not being able to solve this killed my battery, and I want to fix this problem before I kill another.

  I read in one of them that I'm able to roll back a device driver to get this working. Is it possible for this situation? If so, which of the two devices I restore?

  Any other suggestions?

  Hello

  I think that the driver you are referring to, is available for download directly from AMD, unfortunately it won't work because it will not include the required Intel gpu driver or the Catalyst Control Center custom necessary to control your switchable graphics - downloads directly from AMD are generally for machines that only has an AMD graphics chip.

  If you can't find the original version of HP of the AMD software to reinstall via Recovery Manager, try to download and install the switchable graphics driver on the following link: it's of an earlier model contains the two drivers required gpu and custom CCC.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp48501-49000/sp48551.exe

  When the installation is complete, restart the laptop - as I mentioned earlier, you may need to restart two times to get this to configure correctly.
