Satellite L650 - update ATI 5470 GPU to something more powerful

Hi guys,.
My wife has Satellite L650 with Mobility 5470. She wants to play Diablo 3 but the beta show very low FPS and it is only playable in resolution 800 x 600.

My question is:
Can I put the 5470 to something more powerful for it and what would be a good choice?

THX in advance for your time and your help.

No, you can t
The graphics card can not be upgraded.
You can upgrade the RAM and HARD disk in some cases also the CPU (but this is not recommended because of possible compatibility issues) but GPU upgrade is not possible

  • Satellite L650 - update of the need for the Mobility Radeon HD 5650 driver

    Hello

    I'm looking for some updated for my vga card drivers, and the only ones left are 2011 (who are old enough).
    I managed to update with AMD generic drivers, but since I have a 24 "display when I do, I get black borders in resolution max. It happens, I think, because the graphics card has been tweeked by Toshiba so my only option is that you have some updated drivers for it.

    Any help/info would be great.

    Data sheet:
    Satellite L650-11F PSK1JE
    Processor Intel I5 2.1 ghz
    Mobility radeon hd 5650 graphics card
    4 GB of ddr3 memory
    hard drive 500 GB

    Drivers Toshiba re changed but I don t think that your right/left borders on the external screen are related to this change. The drivers of Toshiba support protection against overheating, but AMD drivers don't support such feature.

    However, I think that the question that is related to the bad resolution. You must choose the native resolution used by the external monitor.
    In addition in the ATI catalyst, you should check the settings that are associated with the border I put t know the exact description, but as I remember there is an option that eliminates the left/right border.

  • Satellite L350D - update ATI display drivers hangs

    I tried to update my drivers to view the ATI/AMD Catalyst site because I'm trying to get better performance with 3D games and others. Toshiba USA website does not update display driver at the time for ATI radeon 3100 (on LAPTOP) because the product is discontinued. (I got it less then a year to the Canada..) So I went to the AMD and tried to install Catalyst 10.2 version.
    At the time I was running ATI Catalyst Control Center, but with a version of the microsoft 6.4.1 driver or such on Vista 64 - Edition home premium

    I've lost hours trying to follow the directions to the letter, but I got a total computer failure. I had to use the restore point to fix. I started with the 7.15.0010.0096 driver version, and after the restoration automatic, now I have the 8.479.1.4000 version and it shows microsoft in the name of the driver... probably because the update was fixed to look in one place only... so always tell my drivers are UP to DATE, when I tried to update a driver on my pc. In any case, the result is that I have no. MORE Catalyst center and I'm still using an old driver.

    I just see ATI Catalyst last bundle - with display drivers 11.2 version? But it says that I should check for Toshiba laptops, with support OEM...

    My question is: can I install the new center of ATI Catalyst + drivers on my Satellite L350D - Vista 64 - 3Gz - a lot of spare disk space with AMD Athlon X 2 dual-core QL-60?

    Or will kill my computer again?
    The view control center was really nice to have!

    Hi mate

    Usually, you use the page to Toshiba graphics cards drivers.
    These drivers support a GPU overheating protection, and this is the main reason why you should use this driver.

    I read here in the forum that the drivers of ATI page don t support this overheating protection and so the use of these drivers is at your own risk
    The installation of these drivers is usually possible only in Device Manager.
    This means that if you want to install the update, then you must go to the Device Manager and have to force windows choose driver graphics dll and inf files.

    Simply said; Save the package of drivers on the HARD drive. Then go to Device Manager, choose graphics card, click Update, and then click Advanced installation, and then point to the driver files and then force windows to accept this

    Hmm, don't know why you post here in the forum of Toshiba
    It s certainly not a Toshiba laptop problem, but something wrong with your office package.

    I think that you need to uninstall the desktop of the system.
    Clean the registry with CCleaner (you can use another tool if you know another better ;)) and after several reboots, you could install the whole Office package and could tart update.

    There are also some documents posted by Microsoft about this error:

  • Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

    Hello there :-)

    I have a few questions about my new L650.

    I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

    1)
    First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
    The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

    2)
    The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
    However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
    During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

    GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

    These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

    3)
    This is just General related products. :-)
    Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

    Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the additional info!

  • Cannot install driver satellite L650 - 1 Q 3 new GPU

    Hello

    I can't find anything to install new drivers or do any update my graphics card, the Radeon Mob. HD 5470 on my Satellite L650 - 1 Q 3.

    I tried the auto detection and installation with AMD.nl, but it comes up with an error message saying it does not support the hardware or something.

    When I try to find updates on the Toshiba site, my model is not yet in the list of the L series.

    What should do?

    Thank you.

    > When I try to find updates on the Toshiba site, my model is not yet in the list of the L series.

    Your laptop has a few labels of model number. L650 - 1 Q 3 belongs to the PSK1JE series.

    All the drivers for this series are available on the European driver Toshiba page

    > I can't find anyway to install new drivers or make updates to my graphics card, the Radeon Mob. HD 5470 on my Satellite L650 - 1 Q 3.

    The graphics driver must be used from the Toshiba page because these drivers are changed and configured for mobile use
    Page ATI drivers are not certified and so you can not install these drivers using the common installation procedure

    But if you have downloaded this driver, you should be able to install this via the Device Manager.

  • Satellite L650-16w - cannot run game using the old GPU driver

    first of all I had to say that my English is not very good, so if there is a German support it would be easier for me to write with German support.

    2 weeks ago, I bought a new toshiba Satellite L650-16w.
    After installing my favorite game, I'm trying to start this game, but I can't because of this error message: "3DGM gm_OpenGLError, param err error:"not enough memory"", last error win32 #8 "»

    After that, I tried the latest driver and installed the driver version 8.723.2 on the home page of toshiba, the amd driver does not work, but the error is still there.
    I tried many things but I wasn't able to run this game on my computer.
    I'm sure it's a problem with the driver because when I uninstalled the drivers launched the game! (there was only the installed windows vga drivers).
    Unfortunately, I had a low fps rate of relay with windows drivers, so I was unable to play this game without the pilots.

    I hope someone can help me to launch this game and there is no solution to run this game on my pc.

    My oem is windows 7 64 bit, and Yes this game still works on win 7 64 bit because I got to play this game on an another win 7 64 bit system.

    Hello

    Usually, you should always use Toshiba driver because drivers are supported for GPU overheating protection.
    If you want to use other drivers, then you can do this at your own risk.

    I googled a bit and found two pages that provide updated ATI drivers the:
    www.OmegaDrivers.net/
    www.laptopvideo2go.com/

    Perhaps one of the pilots of the mentioned pages would you play this game for sure.

  • Satellite L650-11F - cannot install driver page of the ATI graphics card

    The problem is the control of catalyst can I install without problem but when I try to install the site display drivers driver ati I get this error:
    ATI catalyst mobility can t be downloaded due to the incompatibility of hardware/software on your computer. The version of your driver card is not supported. for an update of the graphics driver, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

    How should I update with the latest display drivers cause the manufacturer are 6 months old?

    Hello

    You have a few problems with the Toshiba display driver?
    Graphics drivers from Toshiba are modified for mobile use, this means that the Toshiba drivers support for GPU overheating protection.
    ATI drivers don t support this protection and this is the reason why you get this message.
    Generally, you have to take the driver of Toshiba page

    Of course, it is possible to install the ATI drivers also.
    But you would need to install the driver in Device Manager.
    To use the Advanced installation procedure that would allow to choose the driver downloaded from the ATI page you simply forcing windows to choose such driver

  • Re: Satellite L650 PSK1JA: cannot read 2nd life due to the old GPU driver

    Hello

    I have a windows 7, Toshiba Satellite L650 PSK1JA 0K 4017, ATI mobility Radeon HD5650 video card and I m unable to use second life (everything in the universe is a pink color) and its unusable because I need a display driver updated

    I tried the AMD site and am unable to install their drivers as they say that they are not compatible and I need to get my driver from the manufacturer (toshiba)

    Problem is that the Toshiba display driver is very outdated 15/03/2010
    When will they ever update this particular driver and if not what anyone know a work around for this problem.

    Why is the old driver. ?? If I can fix t this problem I'm going to buy a new laptop and it certainly won't be a Toshiba again. Useless, if they update their drivers.

    > When will they ever update this particular driver and if not what anyone know a work around for this problem.
    I put t when drivers will be updated, but there is a workaround to install the driver AMD/ATI on Toshiba laptop. You must do so via Device Manager.

    First you need to download the driver and need to save it somewhere on the HARD drive (IE desktop). Unzip the package. Then, go to the Device Manager, choose the graphics card and choose Update driver. Now, we must choose the 2nd install option that allows you to point to the downloaded folder and choose the location where the driver must be installed.
    Then point to the driver folder saved on the desktop and the system should pick up the files automatically.

  • Satellite L670 - update driver for ATI 5650

    Hiya,

    After a few months I just around the audit, if there is no driver update for my model: Satellite L670 with ATI 5650. Apperently Toshiba must approve the pilots to become available to us. Because ATI already has new drivers available, but we are not allowed to install since toshiba does not approve. So we can only download these old way drivers obsolete.

    The thing is thesedrivers have not had an update since February 24th 2011. Or am I wrong? This is unacceptable! newer games run really bad right now with these old drivers. It's horrible!

    Better give us a new driver update as soon as possible! Cause, I can say that I never buy a Toshiba labtop once again, for this reason. And I do not know more ppl are sharing about this than I.

    However, if there are newer drivers available then the:

    8.712.2.1 - a-097311C-Toshiba 100315 stuurprogrammapakket versie

    Please let me know!
    Thank you

    > Best give us a new driver update as soon as possible! Cause, I can say that I never buy a Toshiba labtop once again, for this reason. And I do not know more ppl are sharing about this than I.
    In my opinion, this statement is for Toshiba directly then perhaps you should contact Toshiba s hotline and repeat this complaint.

    You are absolutely right on updated drivers. For mobile devices, display driver update is not very good with respect to the workstations. Manufacturers put offers to update very often, but they don t care about any peripheral damage so if something goes wrong, they'll send you to the manufacturer of the laptop and computer laptop manufacturer will ask which driver you used.

    You know it's pretty stupid, but typical for laptops. New drivers force a graphics card to give better performance. Better performance means higher temperature of material. High temperature on laptops can be very dangerous and can end with overheating or even damage the equipment.
    Who should be responsible if your graphics card will be Burnout?

    You know, this is pretty complicated.

  • Satellite L650-16V - graphics update required

    Hallo

    I have a Satellite L650 16V, with the graphics card card Intel(r) HD graphics.
    Now, I've had this computer for about 2 years, so I still consider it new.

    The problem is, he can't play a lot of computer games, many of them lagg like crazy, and some may not even be open. There is a website called canirunit, where you can check if you cable to run a game.
    And when I check the games, the problem always is the graphics.

    Not because my graphics card are not big enough, I meet all the requirements, but is still says:
    Suggested update: Unfortunately, your video card does not meet this requirement.

    So my question is, if there is some sort of update I do or so?
    I've updated my drivers.

    I hope you can help!

    Hello

    Because there is a big difference between s computer laptop and desktop PC, design the graphics chip is not extensible.
    In most cases, the GPU is a part of the motherboard and not removable.
    But even if the GPU should be plugged only, the other GPU would not work and that it would not compatible.

    So if you are a heavy gamer, its always better to have an office for the games because the desktop PC are more easily extensible and all parts such as GPU, CPU, motherboard, even can be improved.

    Upgradable portable parts are: memory, HARD drive and in some very rare cases of the CPU.

    I know that several posts have already highlighted this problem.

    I have a Satellite L650 PSK1EE.
    Sorry if this is not the right place to post but I could not find anywhere else to start a new thread.

    Essentially my children want to use * Minecraft * on this laptop. I downloaded it but get the error message that my graphics driver is not compatible opengl. I only have Intel. So I tried the usual driver updates, then I tried to download a generic Intel driver but I don't know which one is right.

    Once I have selected * chart * then * laptop graphics driver * s then I get the choice between 2nd or 3rd generation processors, accelerators and mobile chipsets, which none means nothing to me and I'm stuck.

    It seems that some people have managed to circumvent the built-in graphics card driver and update manually one this way, once you know what you download and then unzip and so on...

    Of course, I can waste my time.

    If anyone knows how to proceed, I'd be very grateful for any help so that I can stop spending hours Googling this.

    ChaiKiou

    At first, I must say that you cannot update the BIOS in DOS. Toshiba offers updates BIOS WIN nur. This means the BIOS update can be started under Windows only.

    I don't know why you have black screen, but until you try to use recovery disks enter the BIOS and set it to default settings.
    Restart the laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. When the start meny appears on the screen put disc 1 in the optical disc drive. After doing this set the CD/DVD drive in the boot menu and press ENTER. Your optical disc drive will have to be the first boot device and it will start to read the recovery image.

    When you do this you don't see anything on the screen?
