Switchable graphics BIOS

Hello

In 5458 Inspiron BIOS there is the option to disable switchable graphics.

What will happen if I disabled it? The Intel video card intel will be disabled or is it the other way around?

Thank you

It would be a new option - latest Inspiron is not a material for hybrid video installation control.  If this is the case, disabling switchable video must run the nVidia GPU all the time (at a cost for the duration of the battery and more heat and therefore activity fan, of course).

If this is what is happening, post back - it would be a novelty for Inspiron, who, in recent years, have been entiredly muxless (software only command).

    There is no fixed graphics mode in your model.

  • Update the Bios HP pav15 and switchable graphics question

    Hello

    My laptop: HP Pavilion 15 e-015tx ( click here for the form )

    I have 2 questions:

    (1) is it safe update my BIOS to sp64571.exe [VersionF.15] ( click here for info from the bios )?  A lot of people complaint about BIOS problem, so I want experts and users view their points of view.

    (2) the laptop comes with switchable graphics Intel 4series + AMD Radeon 8670 M graphics. Like everyone else, I am facing problem with switching. Yes, there is an update available on the AMD web or on the HP Web page? The BIOS will correct this problem?

    Thank you. Please come back to this,

    Hi Prabhat_Gupta. The BIOS updates are useful if necessary, but not always recommended if things work very well. The update itself may or may not solve difficulties you encounter with switchable graphics. What questions are you know and what you tried?

  • Switchable graphics option Bios Update Dv7 4100 series for hd 5650 m driver

    Y at - it another version of bios for my laptop? (I've included a few specifications of my laptop at the end of my post)

    I heard an update of the bios of other series that could control your switchable graphics. But my notbook integrates the latest version of the bios that I can download (v3.5, I think).  And this version does not include the switchable chart control.

    Why I ask this question? Because with switchable graphics disabled, you should be able to update your video card driver. With this driver I could play new games like far cry 3 or other new games with the quality, I should be able to play.

    My laptop:

    -Pavilion dv7-4177-eb

    -Video card: Mobility radeon hd 5650 graphics card

    -CPU: i5 M460

    -Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 144 b

    with greetings

    If you try to update the driver from AMD, AMD, be sure to do so only with the card on and not off AMD. If turned off switchable graphics, AMD map will not be displayed and the Intel card having for result the error you received.

    On a side note, AMD recommends sticking with the drivers from the manufacturer of the laptop.

    Hello:

    There is no graphics card AMD switchable for my model, even with a BIOS update.  That is right.

    Or is it still be grayed out as in the current state.  That is right. An update of the BIOS will do nothing to allow you to change the graphic memory settings.  Everything will be grayed out as before.

    So if I overload a game settings, from the middle to the extreme, this means that most of the 3 GB memory graphics will be allocated to catch the game? Or even will not use the 737 MB dedicated?   The laptop will initially use all the dedicated memory.  If that wasn't enough, he will then consume the maximum (2.4 GB) memory system available and put it to the chart.

  • Cannot find switchable graphics mode in the bios.

    Hello. I have 6b04er for HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. I want to switch to fixed mode in the bios to use only discrete videocard (6750 m). I've updated the latest version of the bios for my device, but I can't yet find "switchable graphics mode" option in the bios. Help, please!
    Thank you.

    Spoody Hello, welcome to the Forums of HP. Your laptop should have an option in the BIOS to set fixed mode. Use this document to refer to the screenshot of the BIOS and let me know if your the same section
    (Skip the link title): OpenGL Applications cannot use discrete GPU

    Here's the switchable graphics overview. See the section "Determine whether your computer has switchable graphics" and let me know if this indicates you have switchable graphics: all of the switchable graphics or dual GPU

    Let me know the results.

  • Option of switchable Graphics Mode not found in BIOS on the dv6-6026TX, even after the sp54024 update

    After the update to sp54024 and goes to bios f10, in the configuration of the system, I can't find an option that allows me to change the switchable graphics mode. The only options are something on virtualization, leaving the fan on etc, but nothing graphic...

    I'm portable is a dv6-6026tx.

    FYI, the option to change from dynamic to fixed option is available on laptops with Switchable Dynamic graphics. Your computer laptop dv6-6026TX has fixed Switchable graphics, and that is why you are not able to find this option in the BIOS.

    You can read more info here

    The possibility to change the dynamics Fixed in BIOS update applies only to the 6100 dv6 and dv7-6100 Series Notebooks.

  • Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

    Hello

    I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

    The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

    Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

    Drivers: everything up to date

     

    Long story short,

    I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

    So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

    This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

    Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

    I installed all the missing drivers.

    * Update Bios to F.08*

    I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

    BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

    Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

    The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

    So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

    I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

    Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

    So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

    So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

    * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

    Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

    So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

    Everything went well (I thought!).

    Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

    BUT without success...

    So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

    * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

    BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

    -proximity sensor no longer works

    -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

    -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

    -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

    * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

    So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

    And I was a little shocked by the result.

    Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

    The problem is the Bios!

    Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

    Œuvres F05

    Œuvres F.06

    F.08 does not work

    F.09 does not work

     

    So I decided to stay with the version F.06

    BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

    I installed the driver anyway...

    I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

    Yet more long story short,

    I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

    I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

    So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

    The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

    Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

    Someone else got the same problems?

    What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

    What can I do to solve the problem?

    for me the best driver are:

    Works Perfekt (cards during execution of the F06 BIOS and a map when F08/09) and are updated often.

  • Switchable Graphics and ATI Graphics Driver disappear (BIOS update)

    Then the other day, that HP has insisted on the behaviour of one of its annoying BIOS updates on my Pavilion dv7.

    Before the update, I was able switchable graphics and could pass the ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 something the 5650 (I'm sure I have these numbers). in any case, now, a few days after the update (which I believe I installed on 19 January), I noticed that my switchable graphics options have disappeared, as well as my option driver ATI Mobility Radeon 5650... large. So now games graphics look significantly bad and slow because I can't spend to the best driver. Thanks, HP.

    So, the question is how to get back my switchable graphics and other driver? I was looking around and found some - related posts that can be useful for people who seek to answer this question, but aren't really help me:

    If you answer this, please try to keep it in easy English and avoid a lot of abbreviations, I won't understand. Just consider me like a fool when it comes to installing and uninstalling the drivers and try to make simple instructions. Thank you very much!

    Hey man, idk if you are still working on it, but I have the solution.  Basically, HP has two updates for each laptop model; one for laptops with integrated graphics card only and another for laptops with switchable graphics.  Unfortunately, the driver for laptop with integrated graphics card only has been the default driver in this update.  Instead of trying to reinstall the older driver, just install the new correct driver.  To do this, follow these steps:

    1. go on http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

    2. the website can automatically detect what dv7 you have.  Just click on the button "start detection".  It will ask you to download something, but its ok.  Do it.  Then just click on 'continue' and let it detect your system.

    3. There should be a screen that has 'Detected list of products' on him.  Under where it is said that your model is, there must be a link that says "software and driver downloads".  Until it clicks.

    4. in the next screen, you will need to choose your operating system.  Select it and click "next".

    5. a list appears with all the drivers for different systems.  Expand the category that says 'pilot -"graphic  There will be several drivers (one being that shitty laptop with integrated graphics card only and another for great laptops with switchable graphics).  Read the descriptions of each and it is made for laptops with switchable graphics.  Download the right one.

    Once download you, you will need to restart your laptop.  When it starts up, it will be like new.

  • Satellite Pro R850-10V - switchable graphics ATI 6450 M / Intel HD3000

    Unfortunately, right now the R series does not offer a switchable graphic option between the integrated graphics chipset (Intel HD Graphics 3000) and him dedicated ATI 6450 M.

    I have a model R850-10V with an i5 - 2410M and there is no option in the BIOS to such a choice, who would help a lot to increase the autonomy of the battery using only the onboard graphics for example.
    Could see us in the future upgrade of bios that would allow this integrated graphics?

    It's a shame, because all other important producers (HP, Lenovo, Acer) who use ATI 6450/6470/6490 M graphics integrated solution, updated their bios to allow a switchable graphics option.

    Thank you.

    > Could see us in the future upgrade of bios that would allow this integrated graphics?
    Very good question, but on the wrong place. This is the forum user and you will not get an official statement here.

    Let's see if Toshiba is going to change anything, and perhaps offer some update BIOS.

  • Switchable graphics on Satellite L650

    Hi there everyone!

    I would like to really know if Toshiba plans (I hope!) to publish an update of the Bios for the Satellite L650, enabling the switch between the graphics card discrete and that soon included in the matrix of the CPU (i5 series).

    The so-called "Switchable Graphics" is already available on some Acer (Timeline X), some Asus laptop and other brands, and I'd really like to see it applied on Toshiba laptops, at the risk of increasing the autonomy of the battery (double it or even more) and are just more efficient and "greener".

    The Toshiba L650 I mean should have all the necessary elements: Calpella HM55 chipset, i5 and 5650 mobility (and Windows 7).
    Why not take advantage of something that can be used even on this laptop?

    Thanks to a bouquet. :)

    Hi Dany

    It is user forum and nobody here knows with certainty what Toshiba will do in the future.
    As far as I know Toshiba has offered some BIOS updates for all models in the past so I think this will happen for your laptop model too but what will be new in this update of the BIOS is not easy to say.

    So, you have to wait and see what happens the next few months.

  • Graphics BIOS Z580

    Hello

    Some owners of Z580 may help me? I intend to buy a Z580.

    The Z580 BIOS has an option to choose separate graphics cards (i.e., dedicated Nvidia card)?

    Some models include a choice in the BIOS only between UMA and switchable graphics (Optimus).

    Other models have 3 choices in the BIOS; UMA, discreet and switchable. I want to know if the Z580 comes with these 3 options.

    Thank you.

    Hi jaray,.

    do you mean some Lenovo models come with three options or that some models Z580 come with three options?

    In any case, here is a picture of the BIOS Z580 lenovoservicetraining.com options

  • Dynamic Switchable graphics does not work

    I have a dv6-7014nr, I'm having trouble playing games. The Dynamic Switchable graphics does not work, my client of the game runs only on my Intel HD4000 GPU. I tried to disable the integrated Intel and just use the GT650M from NVIDIA, but I couldn't find the option in the BIOS. I don't know what to do, I can't play Tera Online with 8 FPS.

    It seems that this is a problem with the profile of Tera and affect many of the manufacturer and not just HP.  This is not a BIOS problem so much as it is the profile that the program from Nvidia's Tera.

    See page 4/5 of this thread on the Tera forums for a solution that seems to work for others who have the same problem you are having.
