Using a dedicated graphics card

My laptop is Dell Inspiron 15r 5537

I have a 2 GB AMD 8850 M dedicated graphics memory

The problem is the more I play the games don't use it but rather use the Integrated INtel HD Graphics 4400.

Is there a way to force the games to use the AMD card? I tried setting in the Catatlst control center 'High Performance', but it does not work.

Help, please!

Thank you.

Win it in video performance video vs integrated only and is cheaper to build than a system with video true, discreet (something now found only in the high end portable computers - usually $1,500 or higher price points).

  • Cannot use the dedicated graphics card

    Hello

    As already mentioned that my laptop will use only integrated hd 3000 graphics, while I have a 6770 m on board.

    I have good drivers for both (or I guess that since there is no warning in Device Manager).

    Whenver I try to play a game well, only the built-in graphics card is available and it doenst go while playing, because I get 20 fps on settings lowest playing while I could play most of the games with up to 60 images per second at the top.

    Catalyst Control Center also has a problem during installation because my hardware version no is not supported even if auto detection selected download I need.

    This is a common problem with computers laptops alienware as much as I found on the web, but they have all nvidia graphics cards.

    If it is of no help: I have a HP Pavilion dv6 6b50eb, my hardware id 6770 m is

    PCI (slash) VEN_1002 & DEV_6740 & SUBSYS_3388103C & REV_00

    If you are sure about the drivers (?) Check the BIOS configuration to see if any option on VGA as:

    Switchable Graphics > fixed or automatic

  • Aspire V3 - 571 G BSOD when using the dedicated graphics card

    Hey,.

    I just got my new laptop, but as the title suggests, whenever I try to run a program that uses the graphics card, it stutters a bit, before finally being BSOD'ing or saying "NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver display driver, Version 307.17 not responding and has successfully recovered."

    This happens even with own NVIDIA Control Panel program, where it gives you this small window of the NVIDIA logo rotating. I tried with Minecraft, just to make sure it wasn't this one program.

    Everyone has experienced this before or have any advice? Thank you very much in advance!

    PS: I would have presented a ticket of support on this issue, but it asks me to enter the date of purchase, but it keeps screaming at me that I need to enter "valid a date", even if I use the datePicker bit next to the entry field.

    I ended up sending the laptop in for repair, and apparently it was a faulty motherboard, so they changed it. Everything worked smoothly after that.

  • dedicated graphics card problem

    Hi all!

    I have a HP probook 4530 s and after 2 years of using the dedicated graphics card (ATI Radeon 7470) seems to have a problem. I was playing my game, which is a flash game based on chrome and suddenly the screen frozened. I use by default the ATI graphics card because the system supports switchable graphics. So, after this screen frozen, I turned off my laptop and after I turned once again he doesn't want to go through the screen of windows welcome. I went into safe mode, disabeled ati graphics card and after I restarted again, I could get properly into windows. A funny thing is that after that, I reinstalled windows and the first thing is to install the graphics driver. After clicking on restart my laptop frozened again in the Welcome to windows screen.

    Can anyone help me please with this problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    Try from the BIOS, there is something that you can uncheck it from the BIOS and it will work exclusively on the second card, of the processor.

    The thing is that I found the problem and it is verry annoing. I disassembled my laptop to renew the theat conductor paste and I saw that the old spent was melted by the heat by the graphics card and drained on certain components close to, and I know that this dough is a conductor of electricity now so bye bye dedicated graphics card.

  • Satellite P305-S8822 - withdrawal of the dedicated graphics card

    Dear members of the forum,

    probably due to a fault of the graphics card dedicated to my

    Toshiba Satellite P305-S8822 (PSPC4U - 02T 014)
    Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T 5550
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card
    3072 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM
    200 GB Serial ATA hard drive

    I'm not able to install Windows 7 or an another Version of Windows. Because I don't have the dedicated graphics card (only the onboard integrated graphics card) and found no BIOS option to turn it off, I would like to remove it from the motherboard. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out whether or not the ATI graphics card is welded (which this would make very difficult). Thanks a lot for your answers and a better idea to solve the problem.

    To be honest, it won't be easy to solve your problem. Why?
    Many people who have mobile machines the same logic valid for desktop computers. Exchange upgrade or hardware components on mobile units is very limited and you can simply swap the GPU or change the BIOS settings.

    If the GPU is faulty in many cases entire motherboard must be replaced. I don't know what other people will write here, but what you can do is contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice what can be done about it.

  • HPE h9-1001de: HPE h9-1001de - broken graphics card can I use the integrated graphics card Intel?

    I bought this PC four years ago (just the version, not CS as in the link):

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03106002

    The integrated graphics went broken today. Research on the spec Web site I noticed that the Intel's integrated graphics. I won't buy another video card, if there is a graphics processor integrated into the processor.

    Indeed, there are two additional DVI ports; However, they are sealed with a sign "DO NOT REMOVE", and each port is sealed with two screws with a strange format (star with six faces?).

    Why these DVI ports are sealed? Why with this format live strange? I hope that's not for licensing reasons, and that I'm still able to use them as DVI ports...

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I don't think it is sealed for any other reason than from your PC with a video of the add-on card, they would not people plugging in these ports DVI cables and by calling HP support complaining that the video does not work (because an add on card disables the integrated graphics card).

    Remove your discrete PCIe x 16 graphics card, so the built-in graphics card is enabled, put your hand on the good size torx screwdriver and remove the cover, so you can use the integrated graphics card adapter.

  • Pavilion 15 e008-sc: dedicated graphics card update

    Hi one just want to ask if possible to modify and update a dedicated graphics card?

    AMD Radeon HD m 8670 is dedicated to my laptop inside. I want to update this to little graphics card more powerful. I don't want to buy a new machine. It is possible on this type of material.

    If so, that will be good? I can put here nvidia or amd graphics chip, it must be?

    CPU: Intel i5 - 3rd generation 3230 m 2, 6 ghz

    RAM: 8 GB

    I think that the processor and RAM are kind a good but the power of the graphics card is somehow a hollow. Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the Radeon HD m 8670 is integrated with the system board and is not an evolutionary element - this is the case for virtually all mobile phones as a consumer.

  • Call of duty Black Ops Zombies 2, using the wrong graphics card

    Hello, I recently contacted Activision about the mode of call of duty Black Ops Zombies 2 very agitated and jumpy, like what you would get if you've played online with someone across the world, like really bad lag offline server, now I can play the campaign and multiplayer on the highest graphics settings and have no problem at all just the Zombies mode, even in offline mode. People at Activision back to me and said it could be because the Zombies is using the integrated graphics card Intel CPU and not discrete AMD card, and they said I should contact HP to see if if there is a way to activate manually in Control Panel. I'll link the Forum on Activision's post to read what said the people.
    https://support.Activision.com/Atvi_my_support_case_details?ID=500U0000005nbrlIAA&RMA=0

    If it does not work the link, then let me know and I will copy them here for you to see, if you think you need.

    Hi Goochster,

    I tried the link you provided, but it is inaccessible, unless we have a forum of Activision account.

    Normally, all you have to do is right click on an empty spot on the desktop and select Configure switchable graphics.

    Select it gpu performance and click apply. That should leave the AMD GPU default graphics package.

    Put a check mark in the box for the "saving GPU on battery switch' your laptop will not consume so much battery capacity.

    It looks like that particular 460 is not a very good card for this computer because there is not enough VRAM for MPE material. A 650 looks like more than enough.

    Check the bandwidth of your current card memory and compare it to the expected update map. For example, a GTX 460 is faster than a GTX 650 because of bandwidth memory. Only if bandwidth memory is higher after the upgrade, can you wait a few performance WINS If the rest of the system is to him

  • The use of the dedicated graphics card? Power management works not at all, no difference

    I bought a lenovo g500 and after installing every single player on this site, I decided to test some games from my pc to the laptop.

    Unfortunately, I see the games from the pc do worse than what they do on the pc (and the pc is old) so I think that the amd graphics card are not at all. Can someone explain how to enable the amd radeon video card? BIOS does not help and the CCC (catalyst control center doesn't help either).

    For example:

    I could run borderlands 2 in a little weak graphics on the pc perfectly.

    However on my laptop I can not even reach the main menu because of the very low fps.

    Another example is crysis 2, works perfectly on the graphic means on the pc, runs on 2-4 fps on the laptop.

    Edit: windows is 64-bit windows 7.

    The solution was to install windows 8 (bought a copy of the professional edition x 64), and then install the drivers from the site. Now everything works as expected. Must have had a problem with the windows 7 x 64 and x 86 drivers... Well, now it works.

    @shauni: tried with borderlands 2, could get 11-13 fps MAX during the game with graphics maxed out regardless of the diet plan, but as soon as I switched to windows 8, the amd video card started working and I now have 40-50 fps (which for me is UBER OPTIMAL). I always get 11-13 fps if I unplug my laptop well.

    SOLUTION OF THE SHORT VERSION:
    Install windows 8 (x 64 in my case)

    NOTE: the drivers on the site are buggy for windows 7 x 64 / x 86. Date today: 8 October 2013.

  • Integrated above the graphics card dedicated graphics card, I think?

    OK, just to put my problems in perspective, I have a laptop-> Hp pavilion dv6 (on the laptop). It is 2 months old, has a processor intel i5 2.30 GHz processor (Duo of course). I have a graphics card integrated on the motherboard according to the usual and a dedicated Radeon 6490 M. in the past, I've never used Nvidia so I'm not at all familiar with the material.

    The problem I have is when I go to play a steam game (for example today, counter strike source (CS source)) said that the graphics card I use is not known for their serves. Then I'm fine, if that's the case, the computer must choose using built-in dedicated memory (the best clear). Now for the players no, engine cs source is not really powerful compared to our days the games.

    My logic is that a graphics card as up-to-date as mine and the fees I paid for the laptop, I should have dedicated memory and computing power necessary to run the game to its full potential. Its really frustrating, I suggest that person never buy HP again. I already have so many problems. Maybe it's not right to blame the company material, but most of the problems were hardware problems (a part of the single Pass system - TERRIBLE!). I'd appreciate any help, ANY HELP reallly! Thank you

    Hello

    Your PC think that Steam does not need a lot of graphics computing power. So, it's not getting 6490 m and thus, Steam only detects the integrated graphics card. What you want to do is spend on 6490M before launching Steam.

  • Inspiron 3737 - pass fron integrated to the dedicated graphics card

    Hello

    I got Dell Inspiron 3737 with integrated graphics card Intel 4000 and dedicated Radeon HD8670M graphics card.

    Several weeks ago, I discovered this laptop works only with integrated IntelHD4000 (Win7 x 64). I installed the drivers of the latest GPU to dell, but it's not not to solve the problem. I installed older drivers, but also, there is no problem.

    I decided to reinstall windows.  I installed Windows 7 x 64, all the drivers from the dell site in the order which they suggest. But laptop also only use IntelHD4000. In Device Manager shows two graphics GPU Intel HD Family and AMD Radeon HD8670M. Catalyst, AIDA64 and CPU - Z will find only Intel HD 4000. Reference Dell start diagnostic tools and Dell Online Diagnostics found no no problem (all tests was passed).

    I tried to contact the technical support of Dell and got the following response "what did you want us? You are no longer under warranty and it's your problem! ».

    If I understand correctly the video driver installation and switching between integrated and dedicated graphics are global problem. Solve someone has mentioned the problem and how?

    Hi p ol,
