Switchable Graphics in HP8770w

Hello

I have a problem with the graphics switchable on my HP8770w.

There is no "Switchable Graphics" options when I open Catalist Control Center under the 'Power' button.

I updated all the drivers to the latest version, but the problem remains.

Hi EdwinG,

Here is a link to Hp driver page. I recommend you to uninstall the drivers and then go to the link to install the last right of HP.

To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do it at Business Forum.

It will be useful.

Thank you.

  • 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.

    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.

  • AMD Radeon HD/Intel switchable graphics

    Hello

    Since I upgraded to window 10 I can't use my AMD Radeon hd graphics card.

    and I have not choice on most catalyst to switch from one card to the other, what I can do, basically my computer run only on intel HD graphics card, without any open gl, no games more...

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the situation is that you should not do the upgrade of Win10.  Their upgrade tool has done a really poor job of detecting switchable graphics before the updrade, and as a result, people like you end up with machines that are no longer fully functional.  Same thing happened to me.

    With switchable graphics, the only work pilots come from OEM making machines, because the material is suitable, so having to be engines.  MS does not supply these drivers any more than the video card manufacturers.

    So, without driver HP Win10 for your PC, you're stuck with only two results:

    (1) keep Win10 and faced with the problem of graphs

    (2) to return your PC to the original operating system.

    I chose the second because I prefer a PC with an OS more old where everything worked, to a PC with a new operating system, where things don't work.

  • Preview of Windows 8 consumers: AMD Switchable Graphics - Unswitchable

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6004tx laptop and I recently upgraded to the consumer preview Windows 8 (Build 8250). I wish that some troubleshooting those who have / are affected by this and may have found a way around it.

    Insofar as the specifications of my computer is:

    Intel Core i7-2720QM

    6 GB DDR3 RAM

    64-bit operating system

    AMD Radeon HD 6700M

    Family of Intel graphics

    The problem in my display drivers. Some of you may also have a Switchable Graphics feature that is installed in your computer. But for those who do not, basically, what it is is a feature that allows to switch the display adapter to a GPU to save energy to a GPU performance and vice versa.

    In my case, as you can see above, the GPU performance is the Radeon 6700 M, while the GPU to save energy is the integrated Intel one. My problem with not being able to switch back and forth, as if I was able to come back on Windows 7. As it is a feature of AMD Catalyst Control Center, I searched their site and they actually have a version of supported driver for Windows 8 CP, although still in beta and sometimes glitch.

    http://support.AMD.com/us/KbArticles/pages/Windows8ConsumerPreviewDrivers.aspx

    (As you can see, my model: AMD Radeon HD 6000 M Series is listed)

    I rebooted after installing the control center, and a popup notifcation tells me that:

    "The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the version of the driver for your compatible graphics card. Please update your graphics driver from AMD, or activate your card AMD using the display manager. »

    I found this curious at first, my model was clearly indicated. But after an inference, I realized that my computer needs to run on the Intel integrated graphics by default. This has been further strengthened when I tried to play a few games and other applications (it would be a bit rough - also experienced before when I forgot to switch on GPU performance).

    The graphics card AMD Radeon used to have a mistake (the unit does not start. Code: 10) in the Manager of devices, but with a new installation of the driver got to AMD, it seems to work very well. However, my computer is still using the default Intel card, and I have no way to switch to the other GPU as catalyst will not start.

    Has anyone found a way around this?

    I'll give you a way to make it work!  He has listed there so many incompatibilities with the FIRST METHOD , you will not get use an Intel (less power consumption card) GPU to work after the changes! You have to wait until HP allows him to work properly or deal with the thirst for energy GPU AMD even in battery mode.

    THE SECOND METHOD listed works without any problems with the compatibility of all the apps BUT it IS demand the pace and order (can be comprehensive for beginners, no worries listed below has got all the information you need to make it work)

    IF the first option:

    NOTE: THIS WILL TRIGER OUTCONTROL EVENTS SO AS A PRECAUTION METHODS I RECOMMEND IN ADDITION AS WE GO STEP BY STEP _ DOWNLOAD CHROME IF RUNNING INTERNET EXPLORE (GRAPHICS CARD WORKS WITH THE GAMES BUT NOT WITH APPLICATIONS METRO THEY WON'T CRASH NOT JUST SE NOT LAUNCH)

    ALL METHODS BELOW TESTED BY MYSELF AND HAVE WORKED YET MUCH INCOMPATIBILIES WILL ALWAYS USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    I know all the games work properly battlefield 3 is yet to launch

    1 AT first make sure that windows UPDATE IS SWITCH OFF or let you choose to download and install (not automatically or it will update your device (in Device Manager) without your permission and all efforts are gone!

    2 uninstall AMD Catalyst "program and components" in Control Panel, and then uninstall all Intel and AMD devices in Device Manager in the control panel (unistal check pilot to pilot intel HD)

    3.reboot! After the restart, download this http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/win8/amd_catalyst_win8_consumer_preview _ [rc10] .exe

    and this

    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53025.exe - 300 MB

    4. install sp53025.exe in windows compatibility mode 7 (it will unpack in C:/SWsetup by default)

    then start the istalation make sure that u choose a "custom", THIS IS CRUCIAL - uncheck the CATALYST (check all the rest intell driver amd driver ect.) do not restart after the instalation

    5. then start the instalation of windows 8 consumer driver overview of AMD.

    Uncheck everything (after that the sp53025 it will be only the AMD (check/uncheck) driver and catalyst box (check/uncheck) available) uncheck the AMD driver and install the driver CATALYST only!

    Reset! Enjoy! There is no CATALYST (only preference of intel and the settings where the CATALYST should be) click the mouse but switchable graphics is now awailable LIKE THIS

    Unfortunately you won't be available to choose between the INTEL and AMD! AMD now works by default

    All the .exe now recognizes 6770 m

    AND METRO APPS WON ' T WORK! AS internet explore will crash as you will open it

    SECOND METHOD, IF THE FIRST FAILS (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IF THE HANDS ARE MORE OR LESS STRAIGHT)

    IS PROVEN!

    THIS METHOD EXCLUDES THE SUBWAY APPS CRASH AND ALL INCOMPATIBILITIES REST WITH ALL PROGRAMS EXECUTABLES AND GAMES!

    Note: Requires knowledge to sign your own drivers, disable the application to start signing and modding some inf files.
    I am not responsible for any damages that may occur. This guide is not exhaustive.

  • Switchable Graphics (AMD Radeon HD 7670) problem in Hp Pavilion g6 2305tx-windows 8.1

    Hello

    I would like to draw your kind attension to this serious problem, which I do face with AMD Mobility Radeon HD7670 driver for windows 8.1

    I use Hp pavilion 2305tx g6 that has double graphics. I bought it 6 months ago and it cost about 60 grand in Bangladesh.

    I was using Windows 7 and everything was fine. I could play every game I want, but after upgrade to 8.1 window, I am facing this switchable graphics problem. Device manager shows that driver was installed correctly but when I go to high performance for any game, it (game) is not responding but game can start without any problem in IE graphics Intel HD 4000 I cannot use my dedicated graphics card which I bought this laptop!

    Here too, no driver to blueooth. Specifically the driver Ralink RT 3290 Bluetooth. I found the driver for this hardware, but not suitable for windows 8.1. Okey BT is not a big problem, but what about the graphics driver? What is Hp? sleep? Where the drivers updated for Windows 8.1? How long I have to wait? As I brought it BDT 60 grand I have right to ask for updated driver and I want to that they as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Again, I chart AMD Radeon HD 7670 in my laptop and driver is correctly installed, but every time I spend my graphics to high performance I cann't play any game. It's because I'm not have good drivers for Windows 64-bit os 8.1.

    I've been looking for this driver for months, but I don't get a updated driver for AMD mobility radeon 7670.

    Please, I beg you! publish drivers for windows 8.1 updated 64-bit os.

    [edited by Moderator]

    The problem is resolved. It took 6 months but in the end I finally thought to her

    Follow the steps precisely

    1. open this Pc or workstation then go to uninstall or change a program

    2 appears in the list, you can see graphics driver Intel & AMD Catalyst install manager. You must uninstall both in express mode so that no other previous parameter no longer exists.

    3. Firstly, uninstall the Intel Graphics driver. If you are asked for a restart of the pc to go for it.

    4. that the list appears, you can see AMD Catalyst install manager, right click and uninstall in express mode. Uninstall all components of AMD. Restart your PC because you will be asked.

    5. go on this Pc or my PC and then drive C. open Program Files and Program Files (x 86) the two of them, if you use the 64-bit operating system. In the search box write AMD and you find some removal files remaining them all.

    6. now your PC is free of previous records and other files. Although the right, click on sign Windows and Device Manager. You'll see graphic cards and uninstall both. This step is not necessary, but just to be sure that your PC has not previously installed drivers.

    7. open your browser and download the latest graphics driver for your PC Intel. My driver was Win64_153322. Install it. If you install it correctly you're at half way through. Restart your PC, if she needs.

    8 go to the AMD web site and download the latest version of the driver. To avoid the complexity best option is to download Autodetect. Because he will choose the best suitable driver for your system. The file name is amddriverdownloader.

    9. open the amddriverdownloader file and download the driver. Download will end and it will automatically start the installation. Install it in express mode. Restart your PC because you will be asked to do.

    10. I hope your driver problems will be solved. To check it out go to Device Manager and see if the drivers are installed properly. Turn on the CCC and try to play a game of High Performance. You will see that the problem is solved.

    Here's how I solved my problem of graphics from AMD. I've been suffering since I installed Windows 8.1 right after being released and today 15 Jun 14, I solved the problem. I can play any game in now high performance.

    If you think that my opinion is useful to you, please share it.

  • 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.

  • Pavilion dm4 (Windows 7) - Switchable Graphics is dead

    Pavilion dm4t-1100

    Windows 7

    64 bit

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics card

    For the past year, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 is always on, and I'm unable to switch to the Intel HD Graphics.

    If I open the Catalyst Control Center, nothing happens when I click on Power Saving GPU. In addition, Intel HD Graphics does not show as an option in the drop-down list (see below).

    However, the Device Manager shows the two devices and gives me the option to disable the two:

    I have a Manager friend who works on Intel graphics issues, and he advised I have download and reinstall the graphics Intel HD since the Pavilion dm4t-1100 driver. I did, and when I try to reinstall it, I have this message:

    Not being able to solve this killed my battery, and I want to fix this problem before I kill another.

    I read in one of them that I'm able to roll back a device driver to get this working. Is it possible for this situation? If so, which of the two devices I restore?

    Any other suggestions?

    Hello

    I think that the driver you are referring to, is available for download directly from AMD, unfortunately it won't work because it will not include the required Intel gpu driver or the Catalyst Control Center custom necessary to control your switchable graphics - downloads directly from AMD are generally for machines that only has an AMD graphics chip.

    If you can't find the original version of HP of the AMD software to reinstall via Recovery Manager, try to download and install the switchable graphics driver on the following link: it's of an earlier model contains the two drivers required gpu and custom CCC.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp48501-49000/sp48551.exe

    When the installation is complete, restart the laptop - as I mentioned earlier, you may need to restart two times to get this to configure correctly.
