iMac 27 "late 2009 - graphic driver problem.

OK, so this may have limited options in regard to the resolution, but need to try to reach out to the community.

I have iMac above, which has the graphics processor ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256 MB. Now, I recently tried to take advantage of this simple game of Minecraft on this system, with the default texture pack is no problem. However with a pack of resources more inflated, as conquest, which in earlier versions worked very well, but has since become larger and has become a problem. resulting in missing textures etc.

These problems all seem to point to the outdated ATI drivers and even though I've updated to El Capitan, I still have problems with reliable graphics in the game Minecraft simple sandbox.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Buy a new Mac is not an option, in South Africa, with current exchange rates and do not really want to make it back in the PC world as all devices in the House are Apple and I want to keep it like that.

The video drivers are provided as part of the OS X. Minecraft is more demanding than you can imagine, you have simply not enough Mac to run the add ons.

  • Pavilion dv6: graphic driver problems

    I recently updated my graphics drivers on the AMD website, which I did not know that at the time, did not fully support the laptop itself. After having done that, I had a problem with playback of videos where in certain circumstances the video would be black but audio would play again. I tried to uninstall the graphics driver that seems to resolve the video issue, but then none of my games would launch at all. Is there a way that I can return the graphic drivers for the basic version where I had not either of these issues?

    Hello:

    See if works by running system restore.

    Select a restore point created before you tried to update the graphics driver from AMD.

    If you are not familiar with how it works, please see the info on the link below.

    If this does not work, reinstall the switchable graphics from AMD/Intel support page driver and the driver of your laptop.

    If you are uncertain which one that would be, please send the number of full model of your computer laptop dv6.

  • -Portege Z10t 13 V graphic driver problems and lag with W10

    Hello

    Please excuse my bad English,

    I just bought the Z10t A 13V PT 141, with W8.1. This computer works fine on W8, but I want to install W10. I already tried 3 times but each time, the cursor (with the touch pad or mouse) is lagging behind, each movement is jerky and works very well. I tried to see if it was a driver problem and downloaded new drivers from Toshiba for the W10.

    I did the same thing with Intel drivers, but for graphics drivers, there is an error message: "a custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel driver update utiliy is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

    When I'm with W8, drivers are correctly updated...

    So I think that the cursor problem is due to this driver problem (I hope so, but I'm not sure). What is the solution? I'M alone with this problem?

    Thank you

    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,.

    EXACTLY the same problem here with my uograded Portege Z10t-A-140 to WIN 10.
    I also took the same steps and encountered the same problems and no solution.
    I find Toshiba after sale customer VERY INEFFECTIVE and disappointing, because it seems no way to get a support PROFESSIONAL from Toshiba on this issue (or any other for that matter).
    Note that I absolutely do not consider helping other users on a forum or self-help a form of professional support at all!
    -> Not happy with Toshiba!

    Error caused by NVIDIA Graphics Driver: not found specific solution.
    Thank you for the introduction of an error report.

    An unknown error has occurred in NVIDIA Graphics Driver, created by NVIDIA Corporation.

    Recommendations:
    NVIDIA Corporation does not currently of a specific solution for the problem you reported. Here is a list of recommendations to take that may help prevent the problem does not happen.

    Microsoft Update
    NVIDIA Corporation

    2. If an updated driver is not available, check with your computer manufacturer.

    3. If you are running the latest version of the NVIDIA graphics driver, please contact NVIDIA Corporation for your support options.

    Additional information:

    Hello

    First of all, it is not advisable to use other graphics drivers. You must use the Toshiba drivers.
    I don't know why it happens, but it would be very interesting to know if it happens on the Toshiba recovery image.
    However, you can also try to update the BIOS. Maybe it helps, but before starting the procedure to upgrade the BIOS, you should check all details on the update and do not forget that you are using the good BIOS.

  • AY 005tx: graphics driver problem

    I bought a HP 15 ay005 tx. It's a BACK Machine. Everything works except thr AMD Radeon R5 330 graphics card. I currently installed windows 10 32 bit on it. I believe that the graphics card does not work correctly. "When I click on AMD Radeon settings, following thr error pop up -" Found.Please AMD graphic Driver not retry afyer AMD graphics card connection. "I tried to update the driver AMd Radeon AMD site too but even after updatinf the problem remains the same. What should I do? Earlier, I had installed Windows 7 64-bit but that majy drivers did not work. So I upgraded to soundcards 10 32 bits. There also switchable 5500 Intel graphics. Help, please.

    I have already explained to you, that is the question.

    There is no 32-bit graphics drivers for your laptop.

    These are 64-bit drivers, and they only work on 64-bit operating systems.

    Most 32-bit software applications run on 64-bit systems, but not visa versa and not drivers.

    If a 64-bit driver worked on a 32-bit system, it is only because the folder also contained the 32-bit hardware drivers.  A lot do, such as the card reader, wireless, ethernet, etc.

    However, 64-bit graphics drivers do not contain 32-bit drivers.

    The reason why your memory is limited to 2.44 GB usable is due to having a 32-bit operating system.

    The absolute maximum memory a 32 bit OS can see and use is 4 GB

    You see 2.44 GB of 4 GB, it's a big part of that went to the graphics for laptop.

  • HP pavilion dv6-3299 GRAPHIC DRIVER PROBLEM HD 6550 M

    Hello

    I have problems with the graphics driver on my hp pavilion dv6-3299. I installed windows 8, and it seems that windows will not recognize correctly. Graphics card is Ati mobility radeon 6650M. Sorry for the bad English.

    TNX

    swear

    If the driver is not supported by HP, then you can not go to it. The only thing I can think of for you to do is push your graphics chip. Windows 8 is quite recent and the upgrade of the operating system can affect material and it is very glitchy. The alternative, I can arrive at this moment is to do a refresh for your computer. I had to refresh my computer when I upgraded to Windows 8, but I didn't know that it would remove all my drivers for my hardware. If you want to update your computer, make sure you know where to find all the drivers for your hardware on your computer. Your sound card driver can be removed, your graphics driver disappears too and that fixed my problem with my card when I upgraded to Windows 8.

  • HP laptop laptop 15-ac047ne: computer hp laptop. upgrade to windows 10 and graphic driver problems

    Hello.

    I have a newly purchased HP 15-ac047ne laptop. Whenever I have let windows automatically updated, update the full operating system for windows 10, I keep losing the Catalyst Control Center as well as the AMD graphics driver (which I noticed because the adapter is gone from Device Manager.) So I ended up back to factory default with windows 8.1 and kept all the automatic updates turned off. In addition, update drivers on this unit is very annoying... so I went here because I'm tired to reset the laptop to factory settings, whenever things get screwed

    Issues;

    1. is there a simple and effective way to get the latest drivers for my graphics card? (AMD Radeon r5 m330 / Intel HD Graphics 5500) The fact that it is switchable does not seem to make the drivers from amd site adapted, so IDK

    2. why dxdiag only shows Intel HD Graphics 5500 and not AMD Radeon r5 m330

    3. should I just turn off the automatic updates (both windows and hp) to maintain the stability of my system?

    Thank you!

    akattom

    We will address the latest first - blocking the MS driver updates.  Follow the instructions in the link to prevent the update of your drivers in Win10 MS: How do I uninstall and updates of block and the drivers on Windows 10

    Now, as for drivers, those of AMD is unlikely to work on your PC, because they are not designed to work with computers that have switchable graphics.

    The best place to get drivers is on the HP support site. The link is on the page of the HP drivers and software for your PC: http://support.hp.com/emea_middle_east-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771404/model/8566519

    Note: If the link does not show Win10 when you open it, click change and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

    You must install the AMD/Intel switchable graphics high definition of the linked page.

    Good luck
