ThinkPad E520 graphics/updates to level
Hello every1,
I currently have my thinkpad E520, intell core i5 - 2410 m 2.3 GHz, 4 GB ram ddr-3 64-bit with graphics card intel HD 3000.
I think the upgrade to intel core i7 - 2620 m 2,70 GHz, 16 GB ram ddr-3, change my hard drive of a DDI, but I want to know for sure if it's possible, and what other options I have.
I also really want to know if I can improve my graphics since I can't find information about it anywhere else, and I really want to upgrade. I saw some videos on youtube, where people ran amd radeon HD 6630 m 1 GB graphics card and I was wondering if my pc it would support. also, what other options do I have? What is the best I can get?
Thnx for your help in advance
Your CPU, RAM and SSD. Internal graphics card update is not feasible, but you can make an eGPU option and use a desktop graphics card.

Question
How do I know what version (update / output level) version 6 has been applied to my system? I applied several different publication levels to version 6 of FF, but all about feature tells me is Version 6.0. No version! This seems to be a change in the updates in the way which are managed. What is a distortion because of the speed in which you push updates and what's new?

ThinkPad Edge E520 Graphics Upgrade
My Lenovo comes with "Intel(r) HD Graphics Family."
The side of the system of the "Windows experience index" gives me a "2.0" on the component "graphics of games."
Can I get my updated graphs to update on my ThinkPad Edge E520?
You cannot upgrade the graphics card without changing the map of mother together.
Intel HD3000 graphics card should be much better than this, however.

I use Windows 8.1 x 64 with a Thinkpad Yoga
I have TVSU (software update for ThinkVantage) version 5.03.0010 which it updated itself from a previous version.
However, on the support page for the Thinkpad Yoga:
The latest version of TVSU is indicated as 5.06.0020
The current version of TVSU I use is not updated my Intel graphics to the most recent driver has featured on the above Web site (the latest version on the site is 10.18.10.3855 10/17/2014 so that TVSU mine updated only 10.18.10.3383 an older version that is not available on the Web site).
I prefer to do everything through automated updates and I ran into errors of manual update. No idea why this is happening and what I can do about it?
It's normal. All pilots must go through quality certification before appearing on SU. In general, a period of 2 months from the version posted on the support page.
The absolute latest version would be on www.intel.com. The support site has the absolute latest version.

Basic not made on Lenovo Thinkpad x61t graphics
I'm a graduate student that uses PyMOL and FoldIt to work. I am able to run these applications, but the 'graphic viewer"(where I would see the macromolecule) appears transparent and show only the content of substantive underlying demand.
This is not unique to these programs, but also to graphic resources low as UltraStar Deluxe. I think that it is a driver/software problem because the computer is capable of correctly reproducing PyMOL sessions Kubuntu Linux when running.
My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad x61t. The graphics card is a Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family, which I understand is integrated on the motherboard. I am running DirectX 11. I'm running the latest Lenovo driver, a proprietary version of the Intel driver. I can't install the Intel generic driver as a .exe, but I can choose the 'Disc' option to provide the path to the .inf. file unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. I figured well initially (reading other complaints) that the problem might have something to do with the Lenovo driver doesn't support OpenGL, but I don't know much, and I am unable to change the driver in any case.
This problem persisted on multiple reformat and reinstallation of Windows 7 on this laptop. If anyone can lead me to a solution, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
So nevermind, problem solved. I removed my drivers, then had Windows Update automatically. For some reason, it worked this time, even though I had been struggling for months to understand this.

Graphics update HP Pavilion p7-1421
I have a HP Pavilion p7-1421 desktop is integrated graphic running supplied with the pc. I would like to put in a better graphics card for the high-end gaming, but I do not know what card would be best for my needs. I was watching the GeForce GT 630 2048 MB GDDR3 link here. My biggest concern is that the computer is running 300 watts and I really don't want to mess with power if I have to. Advice or suggestions on a better type of card (better than what he has now / integrated) who would go without having me more power? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hello
Stay with the recommendation that is made by the manufacturer of the video card. This recommendation is based on the unknown electric charges in the PC, the quality of the power supply and efficiency under maximum loads with the 5 volt and 12 volt bus. Some try to skirt recommendation of the manufacturer of the video card. This may work for a while until the PC is put under load and/or the next update is made and the finger pointing began. It's your decision. The map that you referenced can work with your current diet. It is a call to close.

Satellite L650-16V - graphics update required
Hallo
I have a Satellite L650 16V, with the graphics card card Intel(r) HD graphics.
Now, I've had this computer for about 2 years, so I still consider it new.The problem is, he can't play a lot of computer games, many of them lagg like crazy, and some may not even be open. There is a website called canirunit, where you can check if you cable to run a game.
And when I check the games, the problem always is the graphics.Not because my graphics card are not big enough, I meet all the requirements, but is still says:
Suggested update: Unfortunately, your video card does not meet this requirement.So my question is, if there is some sort of update I do or so?
I've updated my drivers.I hope you can help!
Hello
Because there is a big difference between s computer laptop and desktop PC, design the graphics chip is not extensible.
In most cases, the GPU is a part of the motherboard and not removable.
But even if the GPU should be plugged only, the other GPU would not work and that it would not compatible.So if you are a heavy gamer, its always better to have an office for the games because the desktop PC are more easily extensible and all parts such as GPU, CPU, motherboard, even can be improved.
Upgradable portable parts are: memory, HARD drive and in some very rare cases of the CPU.

G505s not start after AMD Radeon HD 7640 G + R5 M200 double put graphic updated
Hi, I have a Lenovo G505s currently running on 10 to win. This weekend, the computer received an automatic update (Windows update) for the AMD Radeon HD 7640 G + R5 M200 Dual Graphics. After this update, the computer does not, with the result a blue screen. I start safe mode, install a driver, and on the next reboot, the system starts. But then, to start the automatic update of windows install the new driver again and the computer stops and cannot be started. A hint anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry, you have any questions.
In your case, you may need to disable the ability of Windows 10 update the drivers for hardware devices.If you want to explore this, see: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/stop-automatic-driver-updates-windows-10
The dialog box has changed a bit after update 1511 (10586), but the process of getting it remains the same, and updates the driver through WU Win10 are stuck for me. I've updated one of my Win10 machines for the update of the anniversary and it apears that things are maintained.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards.

Stalls of Configuration of ThinkPad R51e on update
I'm trying to get the update installed ThinkPad Configuration. Overall progress goes to 99% and then it goes back to 98%, then up to 99% again and so on.
I tried this several times over several days.
I tried as a directly downloaded process and-installed.
I tried it as a deferred update installation.
Always the same results.
I searched here. I searched on Google. I have found no help.
Can you help me, please?
Thank you.
I uninstalled Zone Alarm.
The ThinkVantage tried update.
And it worked the first time!
I also noticed that on my blog.
I hope this information helps someone else.
Thanks to everyone who read my post here in the community of Lenovo, even if you are unable to help!
With gratitude,

Hi guys,.
I am interested in the development of 3D models and animation using Maya as well as delve into the design of games using Unity 3D. I already had licenses for the two programs installed on my T420.
However, Maya tells me that my graphical output is not sufficient to run some things. So I did some digging on the Internet and learned that the T420 lacks a slot for graphics card and only uses the GPU chip on the motherboard.
I know that I can increase my RAM by adding a 4 GB key as well as speed up my hard drive by exchanging it for a faster SSD drive.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve my shading machine.
Please let me know?
Thank you!
It is a problem common in many users.
There are interesting upgrades with HDD SSD, RAM, CPU, screen, etc, but also since the GPU Nvidia NV4200 card is integrated - SODA COMPONENT (as I am informed) - in the T420, there is little or nothing to do. You will find a few users to talk eGPU as a solution, but in my case, my opinion is that it becomes royalty and practically it lead to many components external HW, at a voltage higher, several of them with parts of office, and it becomes impractical, as equipment kit is not a type of laptop.
Miserably, in the way that you adopt the updates for your laptop T420, the GPU becomes the BottleNecking, hard to enlarge.
In any case, I hope that the community is able to add more comments...
Maybe you are looking for
