Satellite L50-A-161 - control performance of video card

Hello

I bought a Satellite L50-A-161.
The computer has two graphics cards: a processor intel integrated and a gforce 740 m with 2 GB dedicated.
Is your computer often uses the video card intel automatically, how do I know the computer to use the gforce always because I often use 3D programs like autocad, photoshop, 3ds design, etc...
In addition to the question: are we sure the gforce 740 m is a dedicated with 2 GB video card? due to various forums about this computer shared video card

Thanks for your attention

As far as I know it s ordered automatically and you do not have possibility to control GPU manually.

    Hello!

    The video card can't be updated because it s soldered onto the motherboard.

    But why you want to upgrade the video card?
    However, you clean your laptop if you use the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

    I tried a lot of time in the internet for XP drivers, but without success.

  • Satellite A300 - 15G: can I replace the video card?

    I bought my laptop about half a year ago.
    Because I am a linux user, I reinstall Windows Vista Linux Fedora 10.

    But our 'friends' ATI just create normal, 100% usable drivers for linux.
    NVIDIA create drivers normal, and it works perfectly.

    Support question: replace my video card ATI HD3470 for NVIDIA series, such as the NVIDIA 8400 or NVIDIA 8600 video card?

    No, the replacement of a graphics card or the upgrade is not possible.

  • Satellite A200 - its possible to change my video card?

    Hey,.

    I was wondering if its possible to change my video for a better card. I currently have the nVidia GeForce Go 7300 and its an integrated video card.
    But I don't know if this means that it is impossible to change it or maybe its possible to add an extra video card in the laptop (SLI).

    So is there anything I can do about it?

    No, because the GPU is soldered on the motherboard. Not possible to remove it!

  • Satellite L50-B940 - how to increase dedicated video memory?

    Hi........

    My labtop is TOSHIBA L50-B940 with 8 GB RAM and AMD radeom with windows 8.1 graphics card, 64-bit

    the problem is that the dedicated video memory is 0MB and I could not increase it

    I asked my friends a guy TI and nobody could help me and I tried to increase it from the BIOS as my friend but my bios setting is limited, so I ask you to help me solve this problem, I can't play for example: unit of creed Assassin before solving this problem

    and please teach me how to solve this problem step by step

    Thank you

    Hi Sami

    As far as I know it works automatically and there is no option where you can set it manually.
    This option does not exist in the BIOS.

    You know it's always a problem with portable machines. Video more power means more heat and due to a specific design and cooling system which can be very risky for the portable machine etc. is all this a little... different.

  • Satellite A200-1KH is broken (motherboard or video card)

    Hello world!

    Satellite A200-1KH
    I have problems with my laptop.
    I finished the guarantee.

    Anyone can tell me where I can see a price for mothreboards and card for my laptop and then to buy it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for sharing this with us, but I think that everyone should be very careful using such instructions.
    First disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate. Even if the statement is available, pieces can be broken off during the procedure or the statement could miss some important elements.

    In addition you will always lose warranty if you'd try to disassemble the laptop.
    So to me don t touch if the warranty is valid and come into contact with a local ASP.

    > What is a normal cost for this item? Is - this seller is reliable?
    > Who has already buy something?
    I n t have any experience with this dealer, but the new motherboard is not a party at low prices.
    However, the Toshiba ASP could provide this new mobo for you and you could also ask the price and can compare offers

  • Re: Satellite X 200 - can I upgrade the video card?

    Hello

    I have the X 200 23 G

    I wonder I can update my videocard (NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT) or change it?

    Thank you.

    Hi, unfortunately you are unable to spend not generic parts in a laptop as they are designed.

    The only parts you can upgrade are the processor, memory, ODD, and HARD drive. But even in this case, not all components are compatible. For example, if the BIOS cannot recognize the new processor, the system may not start, or it will overheat, or operate at a slower speed.

    I found an article on the Toshiba site there explaining more in detail:

  • Satellite Pro L10 - need info on compatible video cards

    I'm looking to upgrade my laptop with a nvidia Geoforce 7600 or 7900 graphics card.

    I just wanted to check if there was any problems of compatibility/installation?

    See you soon

    Hi Johnny

    You can search for compatible graphics cards until you die ;) and you will not succeed :(
    Why?... because portable computers cannot be upgraded with a different graphics card.
    The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it s not removable on a simple passerby!

    That is why don t waste a time for any upgrade GPU! If you need then computer to play latest games I would not recommend buying a desktop PC as desktop PC parts are easy removable and you can upgrade the parts such as the CPU and GPU on a simple way!
