Switchable graphics can I or not?

My T61P with NVIDIA graphics died on me on Friday. I was 'under the gun' and tried to recover quickly and decided to replace it with another series of T. I scored a 'Fixer' T500 (2422 7VU; 09/09 xxxxx) off the coast of craigslist. He acknowledged my T61p Windows 8.1 Pro system disk and booted up immediately. After downloaded and installed all the drivers I could find, it is not clear to me if I "switchable graphics" or not. I have a mini dock and a configuration double monitor. My main screen of Lenovo is 1280 x 800 and the single display showing driver is "Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (WDDM 1.1)" my secondary display a Samsung SyncMaster EX2220 turn in 1920 x 1080. It is connected to the DVI port on the mini dock. I installed the ATI Catalyst Control Center and "Switchable Graphics calculators", but I don't see an ATI display adapter in Device Manager. If I click with the right button on the desktop and select "Catalyst Control Center", two processes started. 'ccc.exe"(Catalyst Control Center?) and"MOM.exe"(monitor?). I also noticed that after that these two processes are started, my installed memory falls from 8 GB to 7.91 GB. I have installed the Thinkvantage Power Monitor but when I select 'High performance' in Control Panel Power Options "Apply" is "grayed out" if I try to start one of the programs in the Catalyst Control Program Files folder, that nothing happens? Do I not have an installed ATI chipset or not? If so, how can I make this work?

I have not cracked open except to install the memory, although I'll probably do so soon. The CPU fan has a really annoying rattle. That will certainly tell me more, but maybe someone knows the answer. Compared to my T61p with NVIDIA 570 M this system feels a bit slow and jerky video.

Any idea would be appreciated.

2422 7VU isn't a real model. Do you mean 2242? If so, 2242-7vu integrated graphics only

  • HP DV6: HP DV6 unable to install switchable graphics (Intel + Radeon 6490 m)

    Hello

    Yesterday, I just grab my laptop HP DV6 (with Windows 7 Home Premium)

    I downloaded all the drivers with HP Support Assistant HP site, everythings works fine but not with switchable graphics Intel (can't find the link here since I'm on Mac)

    It continues to send error when I try to install it (error: your computer is not a pre-requisite to install the driver something like that)

    I installed the Ati Radeon and watch on my device manager, it detected nicely with Intel HD graphics 3000, but still unable to install the switchable graphics

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    Kind regards

    If you install the Intel graphics driver softpaq it stop the switchable graphics work function.

    Use the recovery again media.

    This time use it to install the graphics driver driver installation section AMD. ATI is owned by AMD Radeon AMD\ATI is now.  See the following pictures.

    Choose the appropriate driver for AMD graphics, put a checkmark in the box to the left and then click on install to the botom right hand bottom of the Recovery Manager to install it.

  • 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

    Jori

    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.

  • Black - switchable graphics - T400 screen

    Hello

    I have T400 with updated and Win7 64 bit drivers. I tried switchable graphics, but it did not work.

    My configuration is:

    bios - display - switchable graphics = graphics adapter

    -OS SG - active detection

    When I boot in win7, it is passed to built-in adapter and when I tried to switch to the adjustment of performance (without any connected external display and no application running), the computer works, but the screen goes black and remain in this State. It looks like the screen is off. To get to normal, I have to get sleep and after you wake up system, switchable graphics are set on onboard again.

    Have a similar experience? And is there a solution for this? I really like the idea of switching graphic (it is really useful for the trip) and it was one of the reasons why I've upgraded to Win7 XP

    When I updated my switchable drivers, I came across a similar problem. I solved it by starting place (switchable graphics enabled in BIOS witch) in SafeMode (F8 during the boot process), then activating the ATI in Device Manager. It seemed that it was accidentally disabled during the installation of the drivers.

    Don't know if it solved your problem, but may be worth a try.

  • Y560 switchable graphics do not work

    Hi all

    I have the model of i5 y560 WITH switchable graphics, however, sometimes it does not.

    Basically when I try to switch from graphics using the switch of the money up front, there is no response. I even tried to right click on desktop and try to change it using "configure switchable graphics", but there is still no response.

    This happens very randomly, but usually after I wake up from sleep mode.

    also, when this happens, my games tend to run at unusually low fps.

    can someone tell me why this is happening?

    Thanks in advance!

  • 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.

  • Not available after a Windows 7 install own switchable Graphics

    Hello

    I had to clean install Windows 7 due to a problem that I created in the first place. In any case, everything works fine, except for the Radeon graphics card.

    I own a HP Pavilion g6-1279sl Notebook. It is supposed to have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and an AMD Radeon HD6470M.

    I installed the latest version of Catalyst driver and when I right click on the desktop, it says "switchable graphics", but if I click on it, it shows me just another option of the catalyst, HydraGrid.

    Using a tool that shows what video card is currently running, I noticed that, even when I'm running games, the graphics card Intel's works, giving a whole worse performance that the Radeon should give. I mean, the Radeon never works. I also tried to disable the Intel of the Device Manager (I think it's called like that, I have a portable Italian), and there have been problems because of the card Radeon runs does not correctly.

    The BIOS is updated and no other choices don't worry we Switchable Graphics.

    Is this what can I do to access the feature back?

    Also, I'm kind of a newbie, then I want you to be clear in the explanation of things me!

    Thank you

    Sorry if I happen to reproduce an old post, but I have not found a solution in messages older.

    Hope you can lend a hand,

    Hello:

    The only driver that you can install is the AMD driver page driver and and care of your laptop.

    Uninstall the graphic drivers you have installed (AMD and Intel) and only use this one...

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-99756-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4063&product=5173421&sw_lang=

    You are unable to update Intel or AMD graphics drivers individually, or switchable graphics will not work.

    You cannot use the drivers supplied by AMD or Intel Web site.

    Support page and the driver of your laptop is a driver made on order and unfortunately, it is not updated.

    But it's the only one that you can use if you want the chart to work properly.

  • M4800 Precision: Input lag with a log in, Switchable graphics does not, fan GPU "chirp" when it starts.

    I recently bought a new M4800 for an i7 quad, and a m5100 over-pants GPU. So far, I was rather satisfied with the purchase as it is what I need it to do. However, there are a few quirks that prevent from being 100%:

    When I run the map only descrete, the journal of windows 7 in a such shift except if I move the screen does not refresh: you can type things and no. * display symbols in the password box. If you move the mouse continuously when you type the * poster in real time? It's a weird kind of lag, that I have never experianced before in my life.

    This does not happen with the integrated card. HOWEVER, the computer will not dynamically switch between Intel processors and AMD gpu (amd Enduro / express power) as advirtized. When running in switchable graphics mode drop-down lists of global settings are 100% Virgin in the Panel of the CCC.

    If you manually set for each application: it performs either one of two things:

    (1) most games seem to run fine, however he follow up with ESTR indicates its operation on the intel HD GPU and performance decreases significantly in the reflection of this...

    or (2) launches a professional software as Chief Archetect x 6, or SolidWorks2014 causes the display to hang, fans of cut and the computer did nothing until a hard reboot via the power button.

    * I disabled the Integrated GPU in the bios and run only the AMD card as a work-around. Is there any solution for this other than to ignore the Intel card? Googling around leads me to a resource that graphic dell switchable disbling in BIOS are the only work around. All the programs work very well in this way, but sometimes say on a trip or during a course of reading, I don't see a reason to keep the amd WHAT GPU powered.

    Soruce to work around www.dell.com/.../EN

    Is this fixed in a future bios or update driver?

    and finally: the computer is dead silent most of the time, even the fans are pretty quiet. However when the GPU kicks fan on after being off for a long time, there is sometimes a noise, I can only describe as "electronic chirping/scraping" until the fan whirrs to life, it affects not at startup, but randomly as you use on battery and plugged. the configuration management thermal "maximum performance" to keep the fan on all the time to a certain extent eliminates noise. Is this normal? or is this a problem?

    My personal experience has been a long and trying a.  First, they sent a technician to replace the graphics card with an another week.  Has not made a difference.  While they had tech replace the motherboard.  No difference.  So, I insisted on a new m4800 with the nVidia processor.  That's how I got mine.  BUT I think that if you pushed, maybe they could send a technician to change your graphics card.  Or at least send you a different model (for which you need of course a different driver), then you could install or take to a repair technician.

    For what it's worth, Dell knows they have a problem with this hardware configuration and told me that they raised the question to their experienced engineers.
