Satellite L50-B-23f - switching between Intel and ATI GPU

Hello

Bought this laptop a week ago and I must say that I am very happy with it, but I would change the graphical display of 5500 to Intel(r) HD Graphics integrated with that of the AMD Radeon R7 M260.

I brought by the device manager that makes two graphics cards are enabled and working properly. I also watched the AMD Catalyst Control Center, but I still can't understand how to accomplish the transition to AMD graphics display.

I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction in order to complete the process of switching.

Thank you very much

Hello

The GPU from Intel is a part of the CPU and will be used to secure the power.
It will be used in case the graphics software requirements are low.

Of course it can be changed manually.
You can assign the application that needs to use the ATI GPU.

To switch to the external GPU, right click on the desktop
In Catalyst Control Center Power, click on select Maximum Performance when it is plugged

Then in global settings of Switchable Graphics also choose maximize Performance

Then click on the switchable graphics Application settings
Now, you would be able to add an app (game) that could use this graphics card settings
Simply tap the exe of the game and add to the list of applications.
After that, you will see the exe file in the list. Click the graphics settings and set it to high performance.

But beware: best performance GPU produces more heat, which leads to a higher internal temperature.

  • How to switch between Intel and ATI GPU on Satellite L50 - B

    Hello

    I bought a L50 - B - 1LR PSKTAE Satellite.
    Is there a graphics card Intel on the motherboard, but also a second for better 3D AMD Radeon.
    Now, I plugged on a second screen on the HDMI output, but still using the Intel graphics card.
    How can I change this?

    I made a button in the radeon software which says that when I start the sketchup program that he would take the graphics card from AMD. But it's still the Intel graphics adapter.

  • Satellite P750-13N - problem switching between nVidia and Intel GPU

    Hello

    I used my laptop Satellite P750 on its default settings because I brought and until now that has been very well.

    I use it mainly for games and now some of the more recent games have a hard run Shading.
    I used * www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri * and he told me that I should be able to run most of these games without any problem.

    I checked my specs in dxdiag and noticed that it seems to be using the integrated graphics card Intel rather than the Nvidia Geforce GT540M map. I tried which helps the card in the Device Manager and disable the Intel graphics card, but the resolution has dropped drastically and dxdiag says there is now no graphics support found.

    I did something wrong or do you think that there is a problem with the laptop?
    Any help would be most welcome.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Intel graphics chip, which is part of the central unit should be used for low performance applications, because it allows you to save energy and reduce the internal temperature.

    For best performance while game, it s advisable to use the external GPU (nVidia or AMD)
    This setting can be changed in the nVidia control panel s

    Here, you should choose manage them 3D settings (can be found on the left in the nVidia control panel)

    Now in the main window, you will find two global settings and program parameters tabs
    In the program settings tab, select the (game) program that needs to use the nVIdia GPU

    If it is not listed, click the Add button
    Then choose the graphic processor preferred for this program (generally must be nVidia processor high performance)

    Last but no less, in this program-specific settings, you can assign additional features to improve performance.

  • Switching between microphone and line-in in the Realltek Sound Manager

    Ok.
    Now I know where the Realtek Sound Manager, and I can control the parameters of the microphone and speakers.
    But how can I switch between microphone and line-in?
    At the moment I don't see a line of component option snap at all. Is it because it's a kind of auto detect and the opportunity every time I connect something?
    Everyone knows this, or has some experience in this regard?
    Cordially in advance
    Frans

    Sorry but I don't understand what exactly you want.
    You have built in mic or you can use the external microphone connected to the mic-in port.
    When the external microphone is connected a resident will be disabled.

    The question is: what do you want exactly and for what purposes? Please explain what is the reason for this switching between mic and line-in port?

  • Equium L10-273 kept switching between battery and power

    Hello

My Equium L10-273 kept switching between battery and power all others second, which made it impossible to type, it's got worse and worse.

This stopped now, I removed the battery, so I want to know is what someone has solved this problem by replacing the battery or it should be returned?

  • (Vista) Is there a PRACTICE way to switch between speakers and analog headset?

    (Vista) Is there a PRACTICE way to switch between speakers and analog headset? Must I ALWAYS return the default setting, depending on which audio output device I want to use?

    We have recently installed Music Maker 16.  Before that, we never had a need for headphones and a microphone.  Now, in trying to use the headphone and microphone - and THEN switch back to speakers - we discover a problem.  Apparently, the only way to do it is to change the audio output device by default EVERY time.

    The dispute with this cannot be more of this.  My son records a beat and singing (with headphone and microphone), and then, play through speakers (so we can all hear), we need to change the default settings.  And back...  There must be a better way!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please talk layman jargon; I'm not a COMPUTER guru.  Thank you!!!

    Hi AnnieElle,

    You will need to switch between the speakers and the analog device and special value to use as the default device. There is no way to set the device to be used at the same time. You can follow the steps below to switch between the speaker and analog device.

    1. right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar.

    2. click on the playback device.

    3. Select speakers or analog device.

    4. right-click on it and click on set as default device.

    Hope the above information helps.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Satellite L855 - 14K - random switching between power settings

    My Satellite L855 - 14K is used when it is plugged. The screen changes every seconds bright for dim - at the same time the logo in the taskbar switches to [plugged, load] to [xx % remaining] and the plug is removed from the logo. I changed the setting to [high-power] power and changed the setting to never reduce or turn off the screen and the brightness of the screen has been set to the maximum. There is always an obvious difference and it makes me crazy.

    The computer running Windows 7 Ultimate and has a 750 GB SSD, 16 GB of RAM, and software and BIOS are up-to-date. Battery and power have been exchanged with good known and the power supply is interrupted.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Fred

    According to the specifications of the laptop your machine was delivered with Win8 64 bit. Have you noticed the same behavior with preinstalled OS original?
    Since when did you notice this strange "switching" between the power supply and the battery?

    To be honest, it's not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here, but I think that it cannot be software related issue. I can hardly imagine that software gets a sort of 'signal' of electronic power supply.

    The warranty is still valid?

  • Switch between integrated and dedicated graphics

    I have a XPS 17 (L702X) and I wonder if there is any way to switch between the dedicated Nvidia Geforce GT555M graphics card integrated into the processor. I ask this because I rarely use it for games and so on and I need to have a little more battery. Given that he uses all the time the NVidia it drain the battery.

    To quote that I have i7 2670 QM and after doing some research, he has integrated graphics.

  • Why Firefox will allow me to have several tabs, but not allow me to switch between tabs and can only watch a new tab when closing the previous?

    Everytime I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab does not open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get a new tab is to close one on that I am currently, and even then it will only open the next tab in the order of precedence, so I can't even choose which tab is next to see. This problem makes it impossible to use firefox as a research tool that requires quick change back and forth between pages in multiple tabs at the same time.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
