HP ENVY 15-j007cl: AMD Radeon HD 8650 G update for HP ENVY 15-j007cl

For a few years now, I've owned an HP ENVY 15-j007cl (not the touchscreen version). For most all my purposes, the laptop works very well. This includes almost all the PC games that I am committed to.  This laptop has a processor AMD A10 - 5750M 2.50 GHz with an AMD Radeon HD 8650G integrated graphics card graphics card. This card can run almost anything on middle/low graphic... almost.

Now here's the crazy thing. I swear that when I bought this laptop, something that came with it said that it was possible to update or add an additional graphics card. This isn't an easy feat for most laptops I have ever been. I wonder if someone can confirm that it is possible on this model, and if so, the recommendations would be welcome.

This is definitely a safe assumption - sorry not to be more clear!

The vast majority of laptops have graphics integrated without space for additional cards, which means replace the processor in order to improve their graphics.

There are actually ways to add a graphics card with external adapters, but these are really is only useful if you try to add an additional screen. This article at PC Advisor covers this topic: LINK

  • Pavilion 15-ab063cl: Amd Radeon r6 is it appropriate for the game (it's built)

    I want to buy Pavilion 15-ab063cl and he have gpu amd Radeon r6. I want to know if it is integrated or not and if it is appropriate for the game?

    Thanks for help

    It's graphic APU which meands it goes right into the processor. It is always integrated and not dedicated video and not intended for serious games. If you want to run really demanding games on a laptop you need a portable game special purpose-built and those experiencing a few dollars. HP makes a laptop 'game' that runs around $1500 and it is at best a thing of mid range lower, but still much better than what you are asking about. True gaming laptops start at $2000. The laptop you are asking on maybe run some games to lower settings very well. Integrated video is going is pretty good, but which is like saying you are high 'little person' of the world-not much.

    Hi team,

    I bought this laptop a month back and still not able to understand the problem with the video driver.

    Laptop model - http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-15-3537

    Issue - AMD Radeon HD 8670 M Driver does not not in Windows 7 Enterprise. Error - driver has stopped working.

    Drivers have tried - http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/ag/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=P28NG

    Help, please.

    I called Dell phone Support and they helped me solve the problem.

    Solution: -.

    Step 1 - updated BIOS to latest version

    Step 2 - before you install the AMD driver, install the Intel HD Graphics driver 4400 (most of people think that is not necessary because we have a dedicated external AMD card. "It was my mistake too). You can download it from Dell support.

    Step 3 - install AMD Radeon HD M 8670 driver

    Hi, in my attempts to find a solution to my problem with the current for my Pavilion 14-n204sf graphics driver, I found on the web from the list of available drivers HP site in which the graphics driver is a Nvidia card in the machine is an AMD Radeon 8670 M as shown in the master database and reported in the control panel of the machine. What is the reason for this discrepancy? Do both adapters use the same driver or is this just a mistake - and in this case, where is the Radeon driver?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi @jlb21,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I understand that you upgraded your system to Windows 10 now looking a driver updated for the AMD Radeon 8670 M and there is not a list on the page of software and the driver for your model.

    If this does not work, you can try to install a driver on the AMD website, but can find that you do not get the same options as before.

    You may consider contacting HP support for assistance or perform recovery to factory.

  • By the end of 2011 MacBook Pro, AMD Radeon HD 6770 M and CS6

    I just bought a second hand MacBook Pro (late 2011, i7 Quad 2.5 GHz with the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 6770 M card) for a decent price. Here's the thing tho, I didn't know that AE CS6 does not play nice nice with AMD cards due because of the support CUDAGPU acceleration. Barefeats stipulates that ' every Mac with an NVIDIA GPU blew the...» AMD GPU... »

    So, having said that, have I made a serious mistake by buying this machine? I looked online but couldn't get a clear answer: will be AE CS6 performs well with my AMD card?

    Please note that I do not very big, but I need a kind of performance when I need (with out going into long explanations, I bought this machine to work at home, but I have a MacPro to work for the heavy stuff). What worries me is if I try and return, I'll sit for hours.

    Can someone let me know if the AMD card will limit my performance with AE (and PS, I) CS6?

  • H8-1509eb: update for gpu AMD Radeon R9 possible X 380 on HP ENVY H8-1509EB?

    Hello

    Anyone of you guys know if its possible to upgrade my GPU to the new AMD Radeon R9 380 x on my HP Envy H8 1509eb?

    My current GPU is a NVidia GeForce GT640.

    The current PSU is internal 460W. So I guess I should also change for a more powerful.

    The BIOS mode is UEFI.

    I have never done this and I wander if anyone has some experience with this.

    The R9 Sapphire x 380 should work.

  • Phoenix 810 ENVY: ENVY Phoenix 810 with AMD Radeon R9 270 problem

    System:

    HP ENVY Phoenix PC 810

    Model 810-250se

    10 64-bit Windows

    Video:

    AMD Radeon R9 270

    My PC had a screen black/reboot during the ten days about problem. My son, who plays games on it, believes that the video card above is at the origin of the problem. There was a recent series of Windows included 10 updates a driver for this hardware, but after several attempts (including RESETS of Windows with a picture CD 10) installation via the update or directly from March 28 AMD download, the furthest I get is a black screen after trying to install the driver software. I did it with Windows Defender disabled. I tried Mode safe mode with and without networking, but the Crimson AMD software will not run here. I used the utility from dismantling of AMD as well.

    The problem earlier, before I start all the diagnostics, was a reboot loop.

    Having said all that, at a time given, I ran the HP BIOS utility that scans everything for chess... guess what, video memory FAILED:

    ID 0LM8HS-00082V-QFFV7F-Q2WM03 failure

    Is this an indication that the card is toast, or that the pilot and the chipset is just missing/messed up?

    Another symptom is a weird game of vertical strips on some graphic characteristics.

    So I guess my question is, where I go from here to get the PC up?

    Thank you

  • Update AMD Radeon 6770 13.1 m

    Hello, I'm sorry if this question is cliché, but I need the most up-to-date driver AMD Radeon 6770 m (I'm sure that most recent is 13.3) for my HP Pavilion dv7t - b 6, 00 CTO. I, like some of the other applicants, have this problem when I try to update my graphics driver from AMD, he argues that my card is incompatible and get my drivers at HP, who are overwhelmed by the years. Now, my driver is stable enough, but still crashes randomly during common tasks such as watching videos, etc.

    If it is not too complicated, I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to help him find my computer the driver proper.  Again, I am unable to use the AMD drivers from their site, and I can also use out-of-date drivers of HP.

    Thank you!

    You have a few options, but you must know a few things. You need to install .net Framework 4 before installation of the AMD Mobility drivers current after carefully read:

    http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-drivers-software-Forum/556469-drivers-HP-DV6-4xxx-DV6-6xxx-dv7-5xxx-dv7-6xxx-envy-14-2xxx-envy-17-2xxx-Intel.html basically gives you the said link of 12.10 AMD mobility driver and you install it on top of HP driver.

    In any case before that you nothing creates a point of restoration if something is wrong. Things that you may experience with this pilot is dynamic switchable graphics may not work, but if you're like me propably you fixed mode from BIOS, fixed mode it works well.

    If you want to try AMD Mobility 13.1 also install .net Framework 4 pre-installed http://www2.ati.com/DriverS/mobile/13-1_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe the installation procedure is the same as above.

    Things you can meet except the problematic dynamic mode is the question of the brightness. (You cannot adjust the brightness of the screen - the workaround is enable and disable card amd since the Device Manager or switch to Intel graphics card, then again to AMD.)

    And finally you can try leshcat, but the procedure is more complicated and they are third-party drivers, but if you want to try here:http://leshcatlabs.net/

    The current official driver is 13.1, 13.3 is beta in order to better stay away from beta versions.

  • 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.
