Satellite L50 - B - 24 c - unused dedicated GPU

It seems that the only gpu used is the integrated Intel HD 5500, while the AMD Radeon r7 dedicated M260 is never.

I already tried to set the Intel Graphics Control Panel on the right, and the AMD catalyst Control Center settings and Yes, he has slightly improved performance, but the dedicated gpu is still completely untapped. To be sure, I installed AMD System Monitor, which shows the use of the gpu still at 0%, even when I run an application set to high performance.

Is it possible that I can have my pc uses the dedicated gpu?

The GPU from Intel is usually used if no application does not work who would need the power of the ATI graphics card...
This saves the battery...

Please check this YouTube clip:

It shows you how to switch to the ATI GPU and get better performance.

    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 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

  • Satellite L50-A-19N: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (igdkmd64.sys)

    Greetings, on portable Satellite L50-A-19N (GT 740 M + i HD 4600), I get this BSOD more often than occasional crash (~ ~ once a day).
    Driver name, I guess it's GPU problem (or GPU driver software).

    After installing the latest graphics graphic drivers dedicated, and integrated Intel HD Graphics 15.36.21.64.4222, Geforce 353.06 WHQL, this problem persists for about a year, however in the last few weeks in high intensity.

    Mobile home is connected only to external LCD for output (via original HDMI 1. 4A, audio HDMI cable activated, resolution 2560x1440@60Hz). Also, using the official monitor of the manufacturer driver (it's just INF file).

    I don't know if it's a software driver or card/GPU mother/HW failure problem. Eventually can be caused by bad HDMI Cable or display panel (?).

    I have clues to find the source of the problem and take the next steps to remove the problem, thanks in advance for any relevant info.

    Hello, I think I have the same problem.
    In my case, the problem goes away when I run out of battery. Try also chain the parameter of dynamic frequency Cpu bios of low dynamic forever.

  • Satellite L50-B-16V - Starcraft 2 performance decreased after update BIOS?

    Hello

    I played Starcraft 2 for awhile on my Satellite L50-B-16V using average settings quite fluently, however, now the computer's performance has worsened considerably. Framerate decreases with the increase of number of units in the game, in the end that I get framerate as images 1 / 3 sec, even low settings.

    The only thing that has changed since the game worked fine, was updated to BIOS to version 2.0. Could it be the cause of the problem? And if so, is it a safe way to downgrade the BIOS to 1.9?

    Thank you.
    Karel

    Hello

    The BIOS update should not affect the performance of the game.
    But after the BIOS update you should definitely take the default settings of the BIOS (by pressing F9 in BIOS). Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.

    In addition, you must check the AMD/ATI settings in the ATI Control Center.
    As I m not wrong no you can increase the performance of the GPU but of course, it would increase GPU s heat dissipation and temperature s notebook would be upward.

  • Satellite L50-A013 - internal management of video memory of BSOD

    Hello.

    Recently, I had several questions about my graphics card and the blue screen of death.
    Here is a link to my dump file, converted to .txt: download

    Specifications of the computer:
    Model - Toshiba Satellite L50-A013
    Processor - Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.40 GHz
    RAM - 8.00 GB
    64 bit
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 M (2 GB dedicated I think)

    Additional information:
    My computer did not have a problem of graphics until a few months ago. I had a different problem before that. I got a blue screen error called THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Rolling back my drivers fixed this problem, but after a few days, I started to experience lots of lag of frames per second (FPS) so I used the NVIDIA experience of re application - update my drivers.

    Now I get a decent FPS, but my computer like a blue screen.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    When you work with my L50, sometimes the screen stops (black screen) 1 or 2 seconds and restard right after. Very like, remove power. Sometimes, I get notification that crashed the driver of the screen. The occurs when the power and the battery is almost full.

    Thank you very much

    Sometimes, I get notification that crashed the driver of the screen

    As I'm not mistaken the Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 takes care of two GPU:
    -Intel HD Graphics 5500, which is part of the Intel CPU and
    -AMD ATI Radeon R7 M260 is the external GPU.

    Now, knowing that it would be interesting to know which graphics card driver crashed.
    I mean the laptop can use either the Intel GPU or according to the settings... usually the Intel GPU ATI GPU is used if no application does not work who would need the power of the ATI graphics card... This saves the battery...

    However, its possible to switch between Intel and ATI GPU.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 1 K 7 - switch graphics Intel because AMD

    Hello world

    I have Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 1 K 7 (PSKTCE) model laptop.

    When he has to switch from the Intel AMD graphic it turns off just without any warning. I installed the latest drivers for two graphics cards and also checked in the Device Manager for the latest versions of the drivers but the problem remains. Sometimes, for example when I turn on the Solidworks, even if it is listed in catalyst control center for high performance and must use AMD instead of Intel graphics, laptop computer still uses Intel.

    When I load something in Solidworks which has need of more graphic resources (rendering...) SolidWorks crushes down with the message that AMD driver has encountered a problem, but it is resolved (on the way this laptop back on Intel graphics).

    I use Win7 64 bit and switchable graphics system does not work. I have this laptop for less than a month and tried everything.

    Does anyone have similar problem, or some tips how to solve?

    Thanks in advance!

    > I installed the latest drivers for two graphics cards
    According to the specifications specifications page, this unit has been sold without preinstalled system.
    Therefore, it seems that you have installed the Win 7 64 bit in your own hand.

    Where did you download the drivers (Intel and ATI) graphics card?
    Have you used the drivers available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver?

    To switch to the external GPU you must 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 application (game, etc) that could use this graphics card settings

    Now, just point to the exe file 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.

  • A few questions on Satellite L50-B-1HJ

    http://www.Toshiba.be/NL/laptops/satellite/satellite-l50-b/satellite-l50-b-1HJ/

    Hello guys

    just wondering if its normal for this model to have a very little noise in his hard drive?... and also it clearly says truBrite® HD TFT display high brightness with aspect ratio 16: 9 LED backlight
    internal resolution: 1366 x 768 in the specs, but why not not good as other notebook computer display... It's bright other led backlit screens are better... and I don't know if it is a device with the laptop, because sometimes when you go to a dark page and go to a blank page, the brightness decreases and then increases after a few seconds or a minute then...

    any ideas?

    Hello

    It s nothing unusual if a HARD drive create a sound. It happens more often during the reading or writing of data.

    Don t so worry about this but note: you should always create a backup from time to time because a HARD drive failure can happen unexpectedly.

    As you say; the laptop was equipped with a 15.6 LED HD display with resolution 1366 x 768. Following the display, the display brightness may vary.

    As far as I know that this kind of display supports the 200nit max brightness (nit is a unit of visible light intensity allows to specify the brightness)

    However, the brightness of the display can be decreased and increased by using the function keys (F-keys)

    In addition laptops equipped with the graphics card AMD supports the option called AMD Vari Bright which saves energy consumption by optimizing the contrast of the image.
    This feature can be turned on and off in the center of engine control AMD Vision.

    In AMD/ATI control center select power power play.
    You will find the box power play that enables or disables the function light vari.

    I suppose that similar functionality is in the settings of the GPU from Intel in case your laptop would support Intel GPU as well.

  • AMD does not work on my Satellite L50 - B - 23 G

    Hi, I have a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 23 G, it works fine but when I play a game, I can see in System Monitor to the graphics card AMD works 0%, I reconfigurate, whit the Catalyst Control Center, the high performance game, but it remains at 0%.

    To be sure, I install the betchmark "Vetchmark Valley" and the graphics card always 0.
    I can see in the screen configuration that it uses the HD Graphics 5500.

    How can I fix?
    Tank you.

    Of course, the game does not use the external ATI GPU but its not working as part of internal Intel HD graphics 5500 which is part of the Intel CPU.

    You must configure the graphics settings, so the game can access the ATI GPU.

    How?

    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
