• R400/T400/T500/W500: Switchable graphics issues with Win 7

  Based on the experiences of the wire on switchable Vista graphics driver issues, I here starts a new switchable graphics related to Windows 7 (any SKU) records. Please keep the Center wire and clean up your language. IE: problems related to the XP or Vista are not the subject here.

  I made the switch to Win 7 64 and so far, it is an improvement in the "switchable graphics" - zone. But I have seen some issues:

  • Energy consumption is much higher than under Vista 32. It seems related to a problem in the management of the switching power of graphics adapters: see the thread by roteiro.
  • On my external display of Dell, I sometimes watch "pixel noise". In certain areas of the screen pixels flickering in different colors.
  • Could be related: hang after the release of the standby mode

• Aspire switchable graphics issue E5 - 521G

  Hello

  I recently purchased Aspire E5 - 521G with AMD R5 graphic m240 which should have 1 GB of video memory dedicated. Atleast desciption of the computer said that, before I bought it. When I got the pc, I noticed that there is 2 GB of video memory dedicated. Ant thing is that it has not only r5, but r4 graphics also. Before I got this pc I got one with intel hd graphics 4400 with only 32 MB of video memory dedicated. And the thig is I played GTA IV on this medium computer with graphics settings. But I can't do it on this computer wit 2 GB video memory dedicated. So, what's the problem? The only thig that make me buy this pc was this dedicated r5 with 1 GB video memory graphics card. And when I ir I also has a kind of chart amd r4 card... And anyway. How is it possible that intel hd graphics card with 32 MB dedicated video memory has better gmaing the experience of this dedicated r5 with 1 GB video memory?

  Is it possible to fix this? I want to say I can not change anything in the bios, because there bios insydeh2o which is locked so theres no option in the bios. AMD Contror Panel has options just to "energy saving" and "maximum performace" and who is not useful at all. Is it possible to allow fixed graphics or somethig like that?

  Any help would be grateful.

  Best regards, Ausrius.

  It turns out that, graphic r5 works fine. Apparently intel graphics hd 4400 with intel core i5 was such a good experience for gta iv. And I expect more than r5. And there is always something wrong with gta iv. Despite all this I have max graphics settings for gta iv, monitor system amd sees it uses 60 to 80% of r5 and 80% of the precessor. But the thing is that I can play with these settings without any lag, if I keep the distance of less than 20% view. If I increase it to 50%, I'm starting to see the shift. And despite all this game always uses 80% of fraphics and over 80% of precessor. So that's it. No problem with graphics switchable. Oh, and it works very well also. I like the way things work.

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

  Pavilion dm4t-1100

  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.

  Kind regards

  ThinkVantage System Update detected, downloaded and I installed the update ' features of video of ThinkPad (Switchable Graphics) for Windows Vista Version 8.52.4.4 - 080919 a-069896C-Lenovo. The status reads 'Have not installed' even if I chose "install automatically after downloading.

  The side effect is that I do not see the "Catalyst Control Center" in the Notification area, or anywhere else on the computer.

  How can I remedy this? Is there a way to get the update of the system to download and install again?

  Thank you!

  The issue has been resolved. I had to manually download and install the switchable graphics software from lenovo site. I can see the Catalyst Control Center back.

  Thank you.

• Need Switchable Graphics for Windows 8 after upgrade?

  Hey guys,.

  I see several issues where people lose their switchable graphics after upgrade to Windows 8.

  Now, the only drivers graphic switchable which must be downloaded for future needs on the site of the factory which should be HP.

  Now, is the first step, we want to take

  • Check and see if your mobile phone is supported by Windows 8.

  You can check HERE to see if it is supported.

  If this isn't the case, then more than likely there will be no available drivers until the phone is supported.
  • If the laptop is supported by Windows 8 HP website and your product type # in the next selection > and then select the operating system > click Next > and look under the section that says "Driver - Graphic" and start the download.
  In addition, there are several places where you can find ' workaround ' meaning drivers, you can download switchable graphics 3 third-party sites. As AMD and Other installs

  Other facilities

  It will be the call to users to go and download these drivers. Now that could be a hit or miss.

  SO BE VERY CAREFUL OF ANYTHING TRY YOU AND DOWNLOAD IMITATING SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS DRIVERS.

• Pavilion g6t-2000 CTO: switchable graphics in Pavilion g6

  I bought this phone two or three years ago, but didn't notice this problem until a year ago. This is because I did not know what as switchable graphics were and supposed worked the map I spent an extra $ 100 for. I'm unable to use the AMD m7076HD graphic card at all. Instead I am forced to use the 4000HD Intel integrated for gaming, which is far from ideal. When I start the computer I get an error message saying that I don't have the dirvers for AMD when I left click on the desktop there is no option to configure switchable graphics, when I try to start CCC it gives me an error message saying that there are no settings to configure, when I try to change the graphic properties it only shows me that the Intel chip When I look into the setting graphic video games there is only the chip intel, and in the bios there is no fixed and switchable settings. The only way that I know that I have and AMD card in the computer is the Device Manager say. So far, I have tried several times to update the drivers for the cards and the bios of HP and just leshcat cards, repeaditly. I also took to geek team once, but the most they could do was to get CCC to open. With GTA 5 on I really want the issue to be fixed. Is there anything else I can do? I've scoured the web last year and found no other soloutions for my specific problem. If there's really nothing else I can do myself, where should I consider truly fixed. From what I've read, it seems that many other people had this problem and it never solved. I'm done with this computer and HP, I need answers quickly, or I'll just cut my losses and buy a new laptop from a brand that will sell me fully functional. Let me know if you need more info.

  Hi there @supersadness

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

  I understand that you have had problems with switchable graphics on your laptop. I'm happy to help you with this.

  First, you talk to install several drivers for this, but in reality, if you have switchable graphics, you need just the driver on the HP site, which contains the drivers for the AMD and Intel for a switchable configuration.

  Please read the following for more information on how it works.

  Computers laptops HP - overview of switchable graphics or dual GPU

  HP - Switchable Graphics on laptops laptops configured with Intel and ATI GPU

  This should be the only driver, you must install for switchable graphics features. It will start to download on your download folder by default once you click on the link. You will then need to run to start the installation. However I would recommend uninstall video driver previous first, then by restarting and then installing this driver.

  AMD graphics driver high definition (HD)

  Also, here is the description of the functionality from the download page:

  This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

  Let me know if it helps.

• Switchable Graphics does not

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion g6t-2000 who has dual graphics cards.  I bought this laptop with this specific graph Radeon HD 7670 M map for use with ProPresenter 5.

  However, I can see the graphic card installed in my device manager, but I can't access it from my DirectX application.  Furthermore, when I right click on the Windows desktop and select "Configure Switchable Graphics", I get an error message indicating that ' Catalyst Control Center cannot be started and that there are no configurable properties... ". »

  What is the problem?  I already double checked all my drivers, BIOS, etc are up to date.

  Thank you.

  Matt

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP Pavilion Notebook g6t-2000 issues and to have with your graphics controller. Here is a link to page of the driver Hp. I recommend you to uninstall the drivers and then go to the link to install the last right of HP.

  It will be useful.

  Thank you.

• Dell Inspiron R17-cannot switch Switchable Graphics

  Hello

  I recently received a Dell Inspiron R17 SE (7720). Initially, it came with Windows 8, but given that I don't like that much, I installed Windows 7. I installed all the drivers from the Dell Support Web site. Now, I have a question: I can't find the way to switch between the integrated Intel HD 4000 and 650 M from Nvidia graphics cards. The laptop runs all the time on the Intel card (even when playing 3D games). In the Panel, I can see the two cards. If I right click on the desktop, I don't see anything on the switchable graphics. Also, when I try to start the Nvidia Control Panel, I get an error message that none of the screens is to use the Nvidia GPU and therefore the display settings are not available.

  Can someone tell me how to move to the Nvidia card? Also, when I was installing drivers Intel 4000 HD, just at the end of the process, I got an error message, but the tool then said 'Installation successful'. The error, if I remember correctly, was not being able to create a process.

  Thank you for your help,

  Mircea

  OK, what I did (and resolved the issue) was to simply remove the drivers for nVidia cards (works best in safe mode) and Intel processors and then reinstall them. This time the Intel driver installed and correctly after the installation of the nVidia card I could access the settings.

• 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.

• AMD Radeon HD/Intel switchable graphics

  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.

• Satellite Pro A300 - is a switchable graphics?

  Hello Forum Toshiba,

  I am owner of a Toshiba Satellite Pro A 300 PSAGDA-02000R.
  My question is, if the laptop supports switchable graphics hybrid?
  I was searching Internet for days, but I have not found an adequate answer to my question.
  I found this brochure: http://www.bmstech.com.au/Brochures/toshiba/PSAGDA-02000R.pdf with specifications of the laptop.
  I found this offer with a Satellite Pro A 300 with a different model number providing Switchable Graphics:

  Hi - Piliphus-,
  another one who believes in the Easter Bunny... ads...

  After doing some research and looking for a wiki...:
  + 'Hybrid Switchable Graphics' + and + 'intel' + some facts came to light:

  one is + SLI + which allow the graficcards to connenct 2
  and the other + Intel Graphics Media Accelerator + located IN the northbridge to accelerate to access the ram and grafics

  and what you want to do with that + "hybrid Switchable Graphics +?

  and Yes, your laptop has two components.
  and no, he won't give you more time, or prepare a cup of coffee or you bring in time...

  It's just a State of the art video and grafics handling - no more no less...
