Protective coating of graphics card?

Hi I just got my GTX 970 and I installed it fine and everything, but I think I left a little bit of plastic on the map. Will be the melting plastic or he'll be fine?

Thanks :)

Hello Wightwolfe,

I highly recommend to have removed because it is not part of the real map of the GPU. Which means that there is always a risk like having the cables near the fans and/or the heatsink of heat or as file plastic.

Just take your time to remove it and make sure you do not damage the material. Being safe and following warnings and instructions is always a smart move.

You have a good day!

    Hello

    First of all I'm really putting t understand why you start two topics with the same theme. It is often better to have a subject with good content and interesting comments. Am I wrong? ;)

    Anyway, in your case, it is interesting that Toshiba use adapted drivers because of the material. This means that this graphics card is not required to run at the maximum level. Material cooling in laptops is very problematic and high temperature can cause overheating or a material damage. All hardware components are placed on a small square. Graphics card produces a lot of heat and it is not so good for other material.

    When you use graphic driver non-Toshiba card is forced to run faster. That's any use of support laptop manufacturers don t of third party drivers. The fact is that physical protection is a priority.

    I didn t do all the experiments, but according to some reports on this forum, there is how to install the driver of non-Toshiba graphics card.

    Hello

    The drivers of Toshiba laptops are a bit different and not the same thing as the drivers from the manufacturer of the graphics card.
    The original ATI drivers are made for office use and not for mobile use. Drivers Toshiba takes supported thermal protection that allows to control the performance of gpu and the dissipation of the heat.
    If you want to use a page ATI driver then your GPU could create more heat as usual which leads to the unexpected shutdown.

    I installed Win 7 on my A210. I didn't install the driver of ATI graphics card because the Win 7 automatically recognizes the graphics chip.
    After installation, I went to the Device Manager. Then, I chose the graphics chip and looked for the driver automatically. Windows has found the right driver and installed this

    Hi Michi

    Nothing to do!
    I checked the site Web of ATI. I chose the notebooks with ATI graphics card and checked which laptop manufacturers are supported.
    and... Is there any Toshiba laptop.

    It is not advisable to install the other drivers for graphics cards. You should always use own graphics driver Toshiba because it is a little bit different. Graphics drivers of Toshiba supports an overheating protection to control performance and temperature.
    The laptop card is a module of own cooling as the desktop PC.
    If the temperature rises to the critical level driver degrades performance.

    Now you know why you must use the drivers from Toshiba. However, I read that it is possible to install the omega drivers.
    But if you install the drivers and use so you can do it at your own risk!

  • Satellite L350 - where to find the latest driver for graphics card?

    I have a Satellite L350.
    I installed a game (EVE online) and it works as it should; However when I use alt - tab, the game crashes.
    It is not supposed to do this, and on the other PC it does not crash.

    I contacted the technical support for the game itself, and after reading my dxdiag, they concluded that it was because my drivers are up to date.

    They said specifically the graphics and audio drivers are the cause of the problem.
    I have a Mobile Intel (r) 4 series express chipset family graphics card, and the driver is dated 06/12/2008.
    my sound card is realtek audio and is dated 11/02/2006.
    I tried to update the graphics card on the site of intel, but the program tells me the installation was not validated for this computer and I had to contact the manufacturer.

    Anyone know where to find the updates compatible with computers laptop toshiba?

    Yours sincerely,

    Hello trouble

    Please remember you have laptop and not of office. What you have done is just and it will help with the office, but on laptops, the situation is very different.
    Graphics card is suitable for the use of the laptop by Toshiba and downloaded driver from the manufacturer of the graphics card can not be installed.

    As you know probably common problem with laptops is heat and temperature of the material must be controlled. Graphics card too high temperature can ends with overheating and book cut or damage the equipment. Toshiba laptop to protect material must ensure on the pilots and don t allow to run on the limit.

    I must also say that your laptop is not game machine.

  • Updated by Satellite L500D - 16L graphic card drivers

    I'm playing Harry Potter 1-4 on my laptop, but it has not installed properly and bugs in scene 1. I contacted manufacturers of games on this subject and they told me to update my graphics card drivers but I can't find where they are on this site. Does anyone know how and where I can update the drivers?

    Hi mate

    All Toshiba drivers can be found on the European driver Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
    Satellite L500D - 16L belongs to the series of PSLT9E.
    You can choose this in order to get all the drivers for the laptop.

    But in many cases the driver versions are not similar to the latest versions available on the pages of graphics card manufacturer.
    To the point that the Toshiba drivers are modified and released the mobile use FRO drivers ATI/NVidia don't support overheating protection that helps to control the temperature of the GPU.

    The use of these drivers is therefore always at you own risk

    I have the Satellite P200 x 16 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 and thank you

    I P200D with same graphics card and I always use Toshiba driver. I'm not focused on the game and for my favorite games like COD2, COD4, Max Payne 2, NFS Most wanted and El Matador is OK. the graphic performance is good and I didn't noticed any problem.

    Update driver graphic card just because of games?

    By the way: for mobile computing, it is always recommended to use s manufacturer drivers because these drivers are adapted to each model of mobile phone, and they also have an important function to protect the material and avoid overheating. With the help of a few other drivers graphics card can be forced to run on the upper limit. According to me, you know what can be the result of this.

    If you will have no problem after upgrading graphics card please do it let me know.

  • Pavilion a6530f graphics card

    Hi all

    Children are a couple of games that require a graphics card.  Don't want to increase the power of 300w.  Your opinion on:

    -EVGA nvidia 9500GT w / 1 GB GDDR2 memory - (says it requires 350W PSU - is this OK?)

    -PNY nvidia 9400 GT w / 1 GB GDDR2 memory

    -XFX nvidia 9500GT w / 1 GB memory GDDR2 (requirement of PSU 350W again)

    -VisionTek Radeon HD4650 w/1 GB GDDR2 (350W)

    I saw old_geekster mention in other notes that manufacturers overstate required voltage, so I wonder if '350 is 300 '... All of these cards appear to be short enough to go in my box.  Also, when I install the card, Vista Premium recognize it and substitute the on-board graphics and reallocate memory regular system RAM?  Thanks for your help!

    NBC, it's a fact that manufacturers overstate the power requirements of their video cards.  They do this to protect themselves against those who upgrade their computer beyond the norm.  The cards you listed should work very well.

    When a stand-alone card is installed, the integrated graphics subsystem is disabled.  This will free up system memory.

  • Satellite P30: Where are updates for graphics card?

    I m using the Omega drivers that overheat the card to the point where everything will probably melt someday and I can do without them, can not play city of Heroes, can't play Doom 3, can not play Half Life 2, cannot play a newer than 2 years game.

    Hello

    I can't give you a good answer why there is no update driver for old devices most recent graphics card. But the fact is that Toshiba designed many laptops including several different graphics cards and there are the latest graphic drivers. In addition graphics drivers from Toshiba are not the same thing as the manufacture of graphics cards drivers. The graphics on laptops are not same as of the graphics cards on the desktop PCs. Don t mix that!

    Graphics drivers of Toshiba supports protection against overheating. This is important because the graphics card can not be cooled as on the desktop PC. If the inverse of temperature at the critical level, the pilot will be decrees performance of the card to make the lower temperature.

    Hello

    also run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

    Hello @heaterguy,

    I understand that you are at the point where you are looking to replace your graphics card. You can update your graphics card. Just using a PCE Express x 16 graphic card and remember to keep in mind the requirements of power currently according to the Specifications of HP Pavilion p6240f Desktop PC , you have a 300 Watt power supply. If the graphics card, you choose requirement more power than you need to update as well.

    Also, be sure to disable in the BIOS of your integrated graphics.
