T500 - how to change discrete ATI graphics card?

I can't work on how to spend my (ok my wife!) T500 to use the ATI graphics card. Everything I read says do a right click on the battery icon, and then select "maximum performance" or words to that effect. So I did. Then what? It is still using the Intel chipset, even after a reboot. Is there something I'm missing or not to see?

Thank you

I installed updates some time ago and the problem has been corrected. Not very impressed it worked not out of the box.

    Hello, I believe that the answer lies in another thread that they keep as a «sticky' at the top of this section "Display/video"

    so here's the link to that thread, that you shows how to download the right driver BIOS and graphics, then how you set it manually in the BIOS for fixed, if that's what you want.

  • Satellite M70: How install driver ATI graphics card

    Hi Michi

    Nothing to do!
    I checked the site Web of ATI. I chose the notebooks with ATI graphics card and checked which laptop manufacturers are supported.
    and... Is there any Toshiba laptop.

    It is not advisable to install the other drivers for graphics cards. You should always use own graphics driver Toshiba because it is a little bit different. Graphics drivers of Toshiba supports an overheating protection to control performance and temperature.
    The laptop card is a module of own cooling as the desktop PC.
    If the temperature rises to the critical level driver degrades performance.

    Now you know why you must use the drivers from Toshiba. However, I read that it is possible to install the omega drivers.
    But if you install the drivers and use so you can do it at your own risk!

  • Cheesy screen with the ATI graphics card

    Hello everyone,

    is it just me or someone has this problem, too?
    If I change the graphics card (switchable graphics) on Windows 7 64 bit to the ATI graphics card, the display is much more "Corny" and the colors don't really that nice shows. It seems that there are horns on the screen.

    With the graphics card Intel, the screen looks sleek and 'normal' for me.

    I already reset the settings in the ATI Configuration tool, but it doesn't really help.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

  • How and why to a graphics card?

    I recently bought a new windows 7 Desktop HP Envy 700 - 215xt without a graphics card.  Wish I had now. So, it comes with audio embedded and integrated intel Hd Graphics.  What I would find that fits this office that comes with a 300 Watt power supply.  And I have to change anything in the BIOS?  Appreciate any thoughts.

    Green1322, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you are having is to find a video card that will be much better than the embedded video using the 300W power supply unit (PSU).  Most newer cards of mid-level require at least 400W to work properly.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  This will give you room future upgrades, as well.  I like the OCZ and Corsair PSU.

    As for the video card, you should buy one that is 9 "in length or less.  The best way to know if it will fit is to create a cardboard template and insert it into the space for the card.  If the card has some additional power connectors, you must add at least one inch for the cables.  I love EVGA, Sapphire, XFX and PNY in that order.  The card must be PCI Express x 16.  When you install a discrete video card integrated video is automatically disabled.  Therefore, you don't have to change the BIOS.

  • HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

    So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

    After the PC starts to open the window RUN and enter: MSINFO32

    If the BIOS on your PC version is version 8, and then review the information below.

    HP Secure Boot Windows 8 themes Computer does not start after the installation of a video (Windows 8) card  

    A word of warning: the reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.
