IGFX and discreet

Hello

I'm on an Alienware X 51 R2 and Windows 8.1 onboard Intel HD Graphics 4600 NVidia GeForce GTX 760 it OEM like graphics cards. On the rear panel (see picture), there are 2 DVI and HDMI 2. I use 1 of the DVI.

First question: in the BIOS options, what am I supposed to choose between "IGFX" and "discreet"? I believe that I have on the internet that "IGFX" is for Intel and is "discreet" for Nvidia, but I don't know which is connected to the DVI port that I use...

Second question: how "physically" select which card use, maybe HDMI is for Intel and Nvidia dor DVI, or what?

Thanks anyway for everyone!

The arrow points to the discrete (added) GeForce GTX 760 Ti. This is where the monitor must be connected.

In the bios, set it discrete. Once selected, you can use one of the ports on the GeForce GTX 760 Ti. Video ports embedded on the right coloured audio ports are disabled when discreet is chosen in the bios.

  • Airport Time Capsule and change provider to wide band

    I recently changed my broadband provider and need help with my Airport Time Capsule. I currently have backup via an ethernet cable wireless for Macbook Pro and iMac, Plug and connect every day (although I've never been certain that it's the right or even the simplest method.)

    (1) that I have to back my TC and, if so, should what steps I take?

    (2) should what changes I make on the iMac and Macbook Pro?

    (3) when I bought the TC on the local Apple Store, I was told there was a way in which I could have the TC located in another room of the House, connected wireless constantly and discreetly safeguard to avoid Plug and connect the cable manually each time.  I have sought confirmation of this but could not find any instructions.  Expert advice would be very welcome.

    Thank you very much.

    If your router broadband main has changed, it is often necessary to reset the TC factory and redo the installation.

    I don't know if your main router has been changed as well as the offshore service provider broadband, but if so, then, reset is necessary. Only if the TC was bridged it can be left to himself... so to speak.

    1. to answer this, I need to understand why your backup is not configured for continuous backup now.

    2. of course, it is difficult to answer this question without knowing 1. but I'm not sure why you are constantly plug and unplug the TC.

    How the iMac's internet? It is connected by ethernet to the main ISP router and then you are exchanging autour cables because the TC is not configured in the network?

    Same thing with the MBP...

    3. what said you was not quite correct...

    The TC, FAILED to connect on the main wireless router or the modem... it must use ethernet. However, ethernet can run in the next room in the House and can backup from there without problem... more wireless computers.

    You can do wireless links by adding a second router wireless to apple... but makes it much more complicated but also less reliable. Wireless links are unreliable enough without adding a second.

    The best configuration is the TC directly connected by short cord to the main modem or to the router provided by your ISP. Then tell me the make and model of this device.

    If you were hoping for hitting the autonomous TC and connect wireless to the main router which is not going to happen. Apple makes their routers NOT interface with any other wireless brand.

    Tell me how the iMac connects to internet and MBP as well.

  • How to activate the STD 4 K on discreet NVidia card with XPS 15

    I have a laptop Dell XPS 15 (9530) with both the discrete Nvidia GeForce 750 M (2 GB) & integrated 4600 Intel graphics cards. I also have a Dell UP2414Q external connected via a cable DisplayPort 1.2 (1.2 is enabled on the screen). It is running Windows Pro 8.1. Likely to be relevant, the laptop has 16 GB of ram + i7 - 4702HQ CPU.

    Here's my question: the monitor is supposed to be able to do 4 k @ 60 Hz if you use DP1.2 and discreet card. Under the resolution of the screen I just get 2 external monitor (1920 x 2160 each). If the monitor is essential two screens in a complete with two bars of tasks and two desktop images. I note that under Advanced settings from the resolution of the screen, it shows the view uses the integrated Intel, not the discrete card card, which I assume is the question. No one knows how to do use the discrete card rather if I get a 4 k @ 60 Hz enabled screen?

    Side note: I installed all the updates driver latest for the NVidia card and all windows updates.

    I had the same problem, and I found the solution, which removes the current Intel 4600 driver by going to the [Device Manager-> uninstall-> remove driver software]

    then by installing the latest driver Intel 4600 presented on this page (http://xps-15.wikia.com/wiki/Latest_Drivers#Intel_HD_Graphics_4600_Driver), in my case the new driver was version 10.18.10.3960

    Now my 9530 XPS is able to drive an external monitor of 4K (in my case with the Dell UP2414Q), using the DisplayPort 1.2 and 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz

  • When I click on a clip on a timeline, it automatically moves down to 45 seconds and another track

    So I don't know what I did, or if it's a weird bug on my system, but all of a sudden whenever I click on an item to move it, the clip moves to the low about 45 seconds to the right and down a track.  Everything else I have point to works very well and it seems constant, that's why I thought it would be some adjustments, but I can't understand and it drives me crazy.  I uninstalled and got rid of the preferences, but the behavior returned.  If I open AE, pliers movement is normal.   New projects of first are the same. Any thoughs?

    Hmm.  I thought about it, it has something to do with the multiple Mac monitors.  I extend instead to use spaces and discreet work for some reason any first can get confused.  I was moving the windows on different monitors and it fixed the issue.

  • two related issues: to call the stored procedure and passing in an array of elements using htmldb_Get

    I need to save items of ApEx generated dynamically via AJAX.  I use the APEX_ITEM API to generate the elements.  At runtime, I have no idea how much of elements are generated on the page, but I know that they're all separate and discreet 'name' attributes, i.e. f01, f02, f03, etc..  As a basic example, if I have to generate a selection list, I know that the parameter "p_idx" of the APEX_ITEM call is to say '3', so select all lists that get generated have a "name" attribute in "f03" DOM, all text elements will be "f01", etc.

    I want to record these data in the database using AJAX.  It is common to call the javascript htmldb_Get function that is standard for the use of an application process, but I am interested in the use of the rarely called upon 'internal' and queryString"options of this javascript function so that I can build the query string to the fly according to what is on the DOM when it tries to save the data they have entered into these items generated by APEX_ITEM.  Someone at - there are good examples of the use of the 'procedure' and 'queryString' the javascript htmldb_Get function parameters?

    I have found a handful of some blogs, messages, etc. online linked to this, but just for most people regurgitate the documentation.  I found this post (https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2549237), which has had a glimpse of hope to move from a table (which is something I need) as a parameter, but as someone in their right mind would check this before you go this route.

    Shane.

    ApEx 4.2.1

    Shane

    Since you mention that you are on 4.2 APEX I advise to use apex.server.process which is replacing the htmldb_Get officially undocumented documented.

    In the literature, it is that the first parameter is the ajaxidentifier but it's actually the name of the process.

    The data object would be something like

    var lData ={f01 : get_value_array('f01')}
    

    Where is get_value_array

    function get_value_array(pColumnName) {
      var l_values =[];
      apex.jQuery('[name="'+pColumnName+'"]').each(
       function(){
        var l_value;
        l_value = apex.item(this.id).getValue();
        l_values.push(l_value);
       }
      );
      return l_values
    }

  • Video and sound on the x 51 Alienware

    I got an Alienware x 51 for a few years already and have always noticed that there are two size HDMI ports in the back.  The manual of the these calls the 'edge' (on the motherboard) port and the port "discreet" (nVidia video card).  I currently have the computer connected to a bar that works then to a TV.  HDMI is my preferred connection type as the Soundbar is not equipped with too besides for the entry.

    Initially, I plugged the HDMI in the quiet port in order to use the video card.  But I noticed by doing this, I have not received any sound.  This kind of sense to me, it's a video card.  But it beats type of the object to a HDMI connection.  Then try the built-in HDMI port gave me both sound and image.  I used this connection for the length of time I've owned the system.

    In diagnosing another problem recently, I received your comments that I don't actually use the video card.  Their logic makes sense, I'm not connected to the discreet port.  Without knowing how the internal mechanisms work, I can't say with certainty.

    I have two questions for someone competent with the Alienware x 51 and it's dual HDMI output:

    1. By using the HDMI Board, am I without going through the video card completely and by using the (I imagine most rudimentary) integrated graphics capability?  The system always use the video card and switch the output via the on-board HDMI?
    2. If I am without going through the video card using the integrated HDMI output, how can I use the video card (and discreet HDMI port) and get her out of the system?  Is this possible?

    Sorry if these are stupid questions, I know a bit about computers.  I did a lot of research on this topic, watched videos of Alienware on the connections and I've seen a few posts on Dell for similar subjects.  But I have not found answers to these questions more precisely.  I would like to know how it works.

    Thank you!

    1 - Yes, you can use the HDMI port and have always discreet video card works as the main source of the image, in some cases (very little) I saw the graphics performance to drop slightly.

    2. don't make sure you had the HDMI as playback device on by default so that connected the port that goes directly to the video card?

    There are no stupid questions. We are all have to start somewhere and you have come to the right place. We are here to help.

  • Switch between integrated and discrete graphics on alienware 14

    Hello

    I own an alienware 14(Haswell model). When I press fn + f5 to switch integrated graph and discreet n/b, it says your graphics solution is automatically configured for optimal performance and does nothing. I think it's something to do with the bios, but I can't find any hybrid option in the bios.

  • Skype no longer responds when calling

    The Skype window is not responding whenever I'm calling. Appeal is made, I can communicate very well, but nothing is clickable and the window title has "Not responding" in there. I had to close the window by the force and restart Skype after each call.

    I am running Windows 8.1 and the latest Skype (7.6)

    Dxdiag is attached.

    Help, please

    I could solve the problem.

    The thing is that I have two graphics cards: integrated (Intel HD 3000) and discreet (Nvidia NVS 4200 M). I tried to solve the problem by trying different versions of Intel drivers, but it seems that Skype is trying to pass on the discreet adapter while making a call.

    Solution was to install the Nvidia drivers from nvidia.com (with staff and nvidia Control Panel). Windows could not find the latest driver device manager.

  • quadrature encoder synchronize the sample

    Using a USB-6251 housing measure a quadrature encoder, I will determine the angle that external discrete changes state.  I tried to connect the unobtrusive to a DIO of entry and using code CVI PC read the angle of the encoder, when the state change occurs.  The problem is the lag time of the PC code that adds up to 4 degrees (with a variability) to the measured angle.  An ideal solution would be to trigger a measure in a buffer in the USB-6251 housing when the State of the discrete changes, then read the value in the PC at a later date.  Is this possible with the USB-6251 housing?

    Thanks Adam,.

    I solved my problem by using this idea with the addition of the use of sampling buffered and discreet as a trigger.  Engaging the material task also seems to be a good idea, but may not be required.

    The installation code looks like this:

    Start a way to encode on the counter 1 to control the angle of the label sensor PNP edges
    status = DAQmxCreateTask ("PNP Rising edges", & pnpTaskHandle);

    strcpy (chanString, devName);
    strcat (chanString, "/ ctr1 ');

    status = DAQmxCreateCIAngEncoderChan (pnpTaskHandle, chanString, "", DAQmx_Val_X4, 1, 0, DAQmx_Val_AHighBHigh)

    DAQmx_Val_Degrees, 4096, 0,0, "");
    sprintf (chanString, "/");
    strcat (chanString, devName);
    strcat (chanString, "/ PFI1");
    status = DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming (pnpTaskHandle, chanString, 1000000, DAQmx_Val_Rising, DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, 10)

    (0000);
    If (status<>
    DAQmxGetErrorString (status, errString, 1000);
    DAQmxTaskControl (pnpTaskHandle, DAQmx_Val_Task_Commit);
     
    Start the task
    status = DAQmxStartTask (pnpTaskHandle);
    angleTaskStarted = 1;

    status = DAQmxReadCounterF64 (npnTaskHandle, DAQmx_Val_Auto, 0, npnEdgeArray, 1000, & npnSampsRead, 0);

  • ThinkCentre m91p 7033 D 54 Add video card

    Hi all!

    I got a plug from the Tower of 7033d 54 m91p and was looking online everywhere to see if I could add a video card to this computer. I know that there are other posts on m91ps in discussing the range of the ati HD6600 series to the 7700 s but I wanted to be safer for the sake of my own computer. If someone has or had a thinkcentre m91p 7033d 54 (since there are several models of the m91p, I suspected that energy consumption is different), please let me know if you have added a video card! or... If anyone is familiar with this model of the m91p, please help me! I realize, because it is a tower compact that I would need a small and discreet video card. Thank you!

    To be clear on terminology, your model is a Small Form Factor, SFF (the tower is a different model).

    7750 is the best graphics card available (a 6670 also works, but has worst heat and lower performance). You will need a low card profile, and measure the length available, as it will be too tight. Get the one with the biggest fan, it will cool better with less noise. The PSU is a custom size and not easy to upgrade.

    I use AMD Catalyst 13.4, it is solid. Monitor system and GPU time during the game, you may need to remove the cover from the pci beside the GPU for ventilation slot.

    Be the latest updates of BIOS, Lenovo and MSFT.

  • Precision laptop video cards?

    I am between buying a M6400 or a M6600 GPU integrated or card? (can I upgrade the GPU without new mobo)

    If so, M6600 video cards can be installed in a M6400?

    Hello

    Thanks for joining us.

    Both models come with integrated graphics cards and discreet (can be configured according to the needs of the user)

    You can upgrade or Exchange the graphics card and motherboards in these models.

    M6600 being the most recent of the two offers a better specification than M6400

  • Inspiron 3537 discrete video card

    Hello! I just bought a laptop Dell Inspiron 3537. Got a problem or a question, I don't know what it is exactly :) Thus, the laptop comes with pre-installed Win8.1. Of course, I deleted and installed Win 7 x 64 ultimate instead. I found and installed all necessary drivers, everything looks OK, but there is a mismatch in the material - all descriptions of the laptop I found on the Internet, including the Dell site, claim that it is equipped with integrated Intel graphics and discreet AMD 8670HD or 8850HD discreet card. But after the installation of the latest Catalyst driver package States in Device Manager that discreet video is card AMD R9 M265X. I wonder if it is due to a buggy driver or it is possible that I have mentioned in the last card? Thanks for the help in advance.

    AMD was renumbering its GPU like A7 or A9 of the end - the 8850HD is the R9 M265x.

  • Control several cameras with Codec C60

    Hello:

    I have a client who wants to use 3 PrecisionHDMC cameras and with the intervention of content to a codec C60, as well as an AMX control system.

    I understand that there may be only 3 video inputs connected to a C60 both, my question is:

    If I have a HDMI switch which video switches of 3 cameras connected to Video Input #1 the C60 and have that is configured as an input of the CAMERA, how to control the cameras independently?

    I usually sign my AMX for the C60 system RS-232 and send an order which said in effect "Hey C60, 1 camera to zoom before saying" or "Hey C60, say camera 2 to zoom out, etc...

    But in this case, the C60 will be only 'think' it has a camera connected, therefore:

    Can I still send commands via the codec that say things like 'hey C60, say 2 camera to zoom out,'

    OR

    I can "daisy chain" cable between them and simply connect RS - 232 to the 1st chain camera and tell them '' camera 3, zoom ''?

    OR

    Need me a RS-232 connection distinct to each camera and just say "camera zoom out.

    I hope I explained my question quite well, I look forward to your responses!

    Thank you!

    If you want to integrate a bit more flexibility and discreet control, you can add a small matrix of switching in the project (see Extron DXP 44 HDMI) and have then each camera connected directly to the AMX for control. This allows the discrete control, discrete video selection, output preview and the ability to also have a PC or other video source connected (3 cameras and a PC).

    Discrete control is possible with chaining with addressing, but according to the placement of the camera and the distances between the camera the Garland cable runs can a problem and since you have to run the video towards the grid it's easier to run the control back on location as well.

    If you want to use the composting and then the TC console should be used.

  • Dell inspiron 15R 5520 Graphics

    I have a dell inspiron 15r 5520 and I'm trying to find a dedicated graphics card, which is less than $ 100

    Can someone give me a list?

    Hi D_Man311,

    The Inspiron 15R/5520 is available with the option integrated graph and discreet following:

    Model Integrated graphics card Dedicated graphics processor
    Inspiron 5520
    • Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 1 GB of video memory for Sandy Bridge processors.
    • Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1 GB of video memory for the Ivy Bridge processors.
    AMD Radeon HD 7670 M with 1 GB video memory

    This option is selected at time of purchase of the system.

    Graphics on laptops are integrated on the motherboard of a computer and where you plan to update the graphics card, you may need to replace components such as the motherboard, AC adapter / CC and heat sink. Although the AMD Radeon is considered to be a discrete on this system option, they are soldered to the system board and cannot be replaced separately.

    Answer please for more details.
