• Vidock 2 ATI HD4670 working with switchable graphic version T400/500 w?

  this review , it seems clear the US $379 Vidock 2 with the desktop ATI Radeon HD 4670 card will work fine with an integrated graphics card only T400 running Windows 7.

  But not the restriction of Vista to require that the display driver even if there are several graphics cards, see here , means that it would be possible to use Vidock 2 with a dedicated graphics processor (IE with switchable graphics architecture) T400/500 under Windows 7?

  I know that in this case Vista would not support multiple monitors, but would it be possible to turn off the laptop LCD (Fn + F7 optionally?) to get the DVI monitor, attached to the Vidock 2 in turn connected through the ExpressCard to work properly under Vista? It should turn off switchable graphics in the Bios?

  The answers would be the same for the 4 Vidock with the ATI Radeon HD 4890 which is supposed to deliver this month?

  Vista restricting to a single driver of unique software for several graphics cards is filled for a 2 Vidock attached to my T500 because the ATI Catalyst driver is the same for HD 3650, HD 4670 and HD 4890. Worst case may be to define discrete graphics option (only) in the Bios. With same hopefully switchable graphics would work, starting with the built-in switchable graphics 9.5 ATI Catalyst in their vanilla desktop drivers.

• Switchable graphics using Windows Update update

  Good evening

  This may be a very stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere else.

  I have a HP Envy-m6 with switchable graphics, with the usual of an Intel HD 4000 combination and an AMD Radeon HD 7600M graphics card.

  When I bought the laptop and did not realize he had switchable graphics, I made the mistake of updating the drivers for one of these cards through the manufacturer sites, bringing all to go haywire. I finally managed to restore it and I was told that the only way in which you can update these drivers is via the software driver on the HP website offerend (or perhap use HP Support Assistant).

  However, only today, Windows Update indicated that there were updates for pilots of the AMD and Intel. My question is simple: can I update the two drivers through Windows Update, or it will cause switchable graphics break?

  If I can't use Windows Update to update these drivers, HP will come out a combined driver package that integrates these new drivers on the Support Web site at some point?

  Apologies if these questions are obivous, but I couldn't easily find the answer elsewhere, and I would rather have to re-install my drivers from scratch once again.

  Hi Tio_Holzman,

  Updates Windows checks the site of the manufacturer for updated drivers.  I recommend that you use the HP drivers, HP may have modified them for your exact system.  As you said when you install the drivers from the manufacture website, they do not always perform as you want and this is why.

  The HP Support Assistant check the HP site for the current drivers for you exact model.

  Pilots will be published or updated at the discretion of HP.

  I hope that this has answered your questions.

• 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
  
  

• Switchable Graphics issues

  DV7 6143 cl Windows 7 home Premium AMD HD graphics driver and graphics driver Intel high definition (HD)

  Initial F13 BIOS updated F.1A year last = graphics adds support switchable mode fixed.

  I have never even pondered graphics drivers or switchable graphics until recently. I use the computer for photographs, files ebook, documents and internet and the display was always beautiful.

  Then I had a driver related stop isolated message and when I looked in the event viewer to find a large number of error messages = EEU ATI could not send a message to the CCC.

  So I updated the driver AMD through the site of HP (sp55092.exe) support and the driver package apparently downloaded from the website of catalyst. When the installation has reached the stage where location is determined, that he did to x 86 files but said that the CCC folder does not exist. Let him create this folder and the installation was successful. I rebooted and everything seems fine.

  Given that I have never changed the graphics settings:

  Is it possible that they that management of the catalyst files did not exist before?

  Would the BIOS earlier same supported graphics switchable?

  Hello

  It is a bit confusing, however Intel download is included for dv7 models that don't have an Intel GPU and it would be the only situation when the Intel driver must be used - should really be listed as an option to download for your specific machine and depending on the version you tried, it would fail always to install.

  With Intel/ATI switchable graphics card, so the drivers required are always installed with the software AMD option.

  Kind regards

• Screen collapsed when to enable Intel GM45 with Switchable Graphics in W500 (beyond 4 GB of installed RAM)

  I installed ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit) to my W500 ThinkPad running Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (x 64).

  When I activate Intel GM45 (Energy Saving Graphics), collapsed screen was displayed.

  Example: http://www.o-rz.net/public/win7_intel_gm45_screen_collapse.png

  This problem occurs only 6 GB RAM (2 GB + 4 GB) installed. 4 GB (2 GB + 2 GB) is normal.

  I don't have two Modules of 4 GB of memory so I can't test it installed 8 GB system

  This is a bug in the driver. If you have non matching memory size, then this will be the case. Must stick with ATi graphics card, up to what the pilot official windows 7 came out.

• HP Pavilion g7-sr2377 Nr. D2H11EA #ACB problem with switchable graphics

  Hello everyone.

  I have a big problem with the graphics switchable on HP Pavilion g7-2377, it does not work.

  Main graphics card: Intel HD 4000

  Discreet: AMD Radeon HD7600

  I'm using a Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 operating system. Can someone help with this problem?

  Hello:

  The AMD driver install drivers for the AMD and Intel GPU.

  You can install the Intel driver or try to update all the drivers or switchable graphics do not work.

  It is the only driver that you can always use if you want the chart to work right.

  They don't update the graphics drivers switchable because it probably costs too much time and money to 3 companies to work on keeping up-to-date.

  The only time where they would never update switchable graphics drivers would be if there was a bug in that they come out.

  @Frankie7,.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting back.  It's a very good point you bring up.  The first thing you want to do before you make any changes with the hardware and software that can directly modify the functionality of the hardware is to set a Restore Point.  If you download the right drivers for your graphics first. Click here. Save the download of the driver on a memory stick.

  Once you have created a restore point, that's when we want to go and delete your video driver.

  Now, in doing this you want to go in safe mode with network.  I have not reduced the exact reason why the material disappears when this is done in the normal windows operations.  By safe mode, as you stand a better chance of any other software that can be to access the same files or registry entries that might cause things disappear.

  Here are some links to work with dealing with the video drivers in safe mode for troubleshooting.

  More information the better in this case.  It will give you a better understanding of what can happen during the process.

  How to uninstall Catalyst™ AMD of a basic system of Windows® drivers

  Windows 7: uninstall and delete the software mode safe

  How to use Safe Mode to fix your Windows PC (and when you should)

  NOW! One thing you want to protect is your good registry database that before starting any other stuff and you're in safe mode do after creating your restore point.

  Back up the registry!

  So basically:

  (1) create restore point.

  (2) save all important files.

  (3) create a backup of the registry.

  (4) boot safe.

  (5) uninstall the graphics driver from Device Manager. (This video is a big help)

  (6) restart the computer in normal startup of windows 7.

  (7) install the driver that you downloaded.

  I hope this will help please let me know how thing go.

  Thanks again for posting and have agreat day.

• Please help me with switchable graphics?

  Product: Hp dv6-6119tx... model: QB365PA

  Hey guys, I can't understand this switchable graphics thing... I mean if its dynamics then is it bound to use the graphics card dedicated for games that don't require it... it's also my dedicated gpu playing vids n films for me?

  Because for example I play fifa 11 n it can run pretty decently on intel hd3000 (low settings) so it is possible that I can use for fifa 11...

  I have amd 6490 m if that helps...

  Pls answer n I am a novice so be less irritable...

  Thank you

  HP dv series laptops have a BIOS switch which manages switchable graphics modes. It should allow you to select dynamic and fixed it.

• U330 Switchable Graphics Driver Windows 7?

  Hi all

  Just got my new switchable u330 with switchable ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics. Made the switch to Windows 7 last night and just published in a bunch of problems, especially the lack of access to the switchable graphics.

  I have checked the Web site of the main breadwinner and found virtually all the other drivers that I need, except the switchable graphics driver. I do not understand that the Thinkpads have switchable graphics drivers on the download site, but there is currently no Ideapads.

  Anyone solve this problem? Should I go back to windows vista in order to use this ability? Pretty crappy, if that's the case. I'll be even able to run again, even if I switch back? I'd really appreciate any input you guys can provide.

  Thank you!

  The closest official response is that the official driver of Windows 7 will be available on or about the public Microsoft October 22.

  In the meantime you can troubleshoot by testing the drivers beta Windows 7.

• Not able to install switchable graphics after windows 7 installed on HP Pavilion G4 cost

  I replaced the HDD with SSD and windows 7 ultimate (X 64) installed on my laptop HP Pavilion G4. However, I am not able to install on my laptop switchable graphics now.

  I tried this

  1 installed HPSA and run the update and tuneup. He asked me to update ' AMD high definition Graphics Driver "but it failed with several attempts and after awhile now he doesn't want to do this update at all. Now everything is green in HPSA but I'm still not able to switch graphics

  2 tried to download drivers HP page, but it says 'AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded because of incompatible hardware/software on your computer.

  3 tried to uninstall the driver but windows update drivers automatically.

  4. I've also updated suggested such BIOS http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02948560 but still no luck

  I don't really know what I can do here. There are some similar queries in the forum but they seems to be for different models.

  Can someone please?

  Product name: HP Pavilion Notebook PC g4

  Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1

  Product number: LQ375PA #AB4

  Country: Singapore

  Well, I managed to finally install.

  That's what I did

  1 looked up the number of my product in the drivers

  2. Recovery Manager installation

  3. AMD graphics card driver Version8.810.4.5000. (I tried earlier but did not work this time)

  I tried two things earlier, but not sure about the sequence... No doubt this time I tried both of them after the BIOS update.
