Y460 not GPU switch

Hello world

I just bought my Y460 yesterday March 4, 2011 and I discovered that he is not a GPU switch on the front of the laptop. I'm sure of it, because there is only the media card slot and switch wireless, nothing else. I can't change the graphics by right-clicking the desktop because it "configure switchable graphics' option was not available. Is it a fault or is it just that new Y460 doesn't have this option? (in addition, there is a NVIDIA sticker next to the touchpad).

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello mate,

It is probably because your Y460 is not equipped with switchable graphics.

  • Satellite P750 PSAY3A: Intel GPU switches do not to NVidia GT540M

    I have a Satellite P750 PSAY3A 0MQ001.
    I can't make Gpu Intel HD 3000 to the Gpu Nvidia Gt540M via the NVidia Control Panel (switching Optimus is not do properly either).

    I choose the settings to use the Nvidia card high performance for some programs, but do not use them, it goes the same for games. The strange thing is, if I install the latest Nvidia 301,42 drivers via a facility clean, said programs will use the NVidia card, if I restart the laptop, they use the card NVidia still once, until I re - install the NVidia drivers again.

    I tried to install the latest drivers Intel HD 3000, but the system said their inconsistent and I must use the Intel from Toshiba driver (I am sure I have the latest downloaded correct drivers).

    I did a factory restore today that having the same problem, the Nvidia card is not used even if it is enabled by default, until I have go through reinstalling driver routine.

    I am at a loss to know what to do. I talked to Toshiba support on the phone I have the warranty, but I want to make sure it's a "hardware problem" not "Software", before sending it to the sea.

    I saw a message somewhere in my "trip of suffocation of the parameters" that says something along the lines of my Intel GPU must be plugged into a housing PCI Express x 16 for maximum performance, I know that the NVidia card is via looking through the Information when setting up Bus system, it's PCI Express x 16 Gen2 Perhaps the two Gpu need to be plugged into the PCI Express connector to move seamlessly between the two (I couldn't find the Info Bus for the Gpu from Intel), if so, this maybe the fault of hardware. I haven't looked, I don't want to void my warranty, but if that were the case, I would be willing to send it to get it looked at by Toshiba.

    Can someone please give me some advice on forcing Intel to switch to Nvidia, as it is supposed to without having to constantly re - install drivers NVidia Lol...

    Usually, you should be able to install the latest driver from Intel HD graphics card, but you must do so via Device Manager. You must choose the graphics card Intel and point to the folder of the Intel driver that you have downloaded from the Intel page manually.

  • Portege R700 with docking station may not automatically switch to the external display

    Hello!

    In the past, we bought a lot of A600, R500, S10, and always a docking station for every laptop here at Desjardins, we bought.

    Now we have a little problem with the new R700 model: PT318C - 00G 001,
    We bought 30 of them.

    WHY when we put in the tie-down (with the nearby screen) it can display automatically to the external display no/switch? (in this case a 22inc LCD)
    It is connect with the HDMI/DVI cable. And when we get the display by sliding in the graph of intel and media panel (V 6.14.10.5258), after a reboot of the docking, the screen is all buzzy... sometimes both screen are dark, and we must use a combination of keys to move.
    It's really not easy to use for our users...

    With the old model as the A600 or S10, all have always worked well, if we are on the dock, the pop screen directly on the external LCD, so I stopped him, ondock it and start up of all is well on the screen of the laptop.

    We are on Windows XP Pro SP3.

    I tried the utility Toshiba display device change and expansion Mobile from Toshiba. are not clear...

    Thanks for your help.

    Have you installed a version of vanilla from Windows? Or XP has been installed from the Toshiba Recovery Disc?
    Maybe you are missing several key structural factors (common modules for example). Also make sure that you use the drivers to display on the Toshiba site.

    Also try a BIOS update (v1.70 is the last one I think).

  • WRTP54G works do not with switch

    I added a simple switch to my WRTP54G router.   Once I plug my computer into the switch, I do not get a connection.  Everything works fine without the switch.  The wireless works very well and I do not use ports telephone voip longer.

    Are there settings for the WRTP54G recognition computers after the switch?  Are there any changes I have to make to my computer to make it work?

    Scrooge says:
    Sorry for the last post... Starting router, connect the Ethernet cable to the normal port (not on the uplink port) switch... Cycle all of the mains supply and then, try... it should work.

    Huh? All the switch ports are the same.

  • Conflicting responses from the Dell on Radeon HD rep 7870 GPU switch to my xps 8500!

    OK, I'm a little confused as to this what are my options. First of all, here are my PC specs:

    Dell XPS 8500

    Intel i7 3770

    GPU GeForce GT 620

    1080 p @ 60 GHz Dell moniter 24 "

    460 Watt power

    Windows 8

    1 TB HD

    As you can see a GPU upgrade is in the defined order. After some exhaustive research, through these forums and elsewhere, I came to the conclusion that an AMD Radeon HD 7870 is a level accepted for the 8500 XPS is based on the fact that it is an upgrade option during the build process when ordering as well as recommendations specific to Dell in these forums. I understand that the card requires a minimum of 500 watts and my computer only has a 460 Watt power supply. I can only speculate that Dell has tested and approved this set upwards. So, I ordered a Powercolor Radeon Hd 7870 high grade of my system.

    Here's the problem: I am concerned that the 8500 XPS accepts only HD 7870 from a manufacturer so I was chatting online with a Dell representative this morning that not only told me that the Powercolor will not work, but also, the AMD Radeon HD 7870 will not work. I'm really confused. Who is right and who is wrong. The representative of Dell, I chatted with that also informed me that food is not up-dimmable (which, I have to disagree). He also gave me a link to a generic list of the dell offers GPU on its Web site that was unnecessary.

    I need some clarification on this. At any improved successfully / unsuccessfully to either of these two GPU with a similar setup as mine?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks HanoverB,

    Here is the link to the map of power supply, I ordered. www.NCIX.ca/products

    I agree with Chris M response too. All frustrated by the lack of knowledge of the other REP should have just asked in the forums instead.

    I appreciate your efforts!

    AX7870 2GBD5-2DH is a reference map of running at stock speeds and should work on the supply POWER Dell as he pulls ~ 175W of what I was able to research.

    Here is a close-up of the back of the card and Powercolor uses the PCB of the AMD, so as long as it is not a video bios problem (and there won't be that Dell supports this map of Pitcairn XT in list of Chris') it will probably work

    I've updated to CC2014.2 yesterday.

    Make a function to Export from Premiere Pro project engaged the GPU as expected, I hear the fans spin up, makes is fast.

    However, when sending to Media encoding, rendering of project time are astronomical, the GPU is not engaging despite CUDA on all applicable options. The difference is a few minutes vs 2 hours. None plugin no natives are in use.

    It wasn't a problem with CC2014.1 a few days ago. For now I'm stuck to export directly from first, until it is resolved. Everyone knows similar bugs?

  • ThinkPad E420 - GPU switching

    Hello I have just updated my records for AMD Radeon HD6630M with new catalyst beta2 but now I can't change the graphics card. I tried to go to CCC - selected manually switchable graphic method switch GPU pressed apply and nothing happened. At least I tried to uninstall this old CCC isntal and tried again. Problem remains intact, and now I'm sad of this because my games is now unnecessary . I can just select which GPU I want for aplications but its bad cause my fps dropped. I realize before windows mark with random maps for switching applications is just 6.3 for games and 4.9 for other stuff. Before I 6.7 for both because I have chosen the AMD GPU forever.

    If someone help me to pass the cards he can be happy. Sorry for my English and thanks for the useful information.

    Fixed, downloaded new drivers from lenovo and now its works very well.

    As opposed to Spotify, iTunes interface is not accelerated by the hardware, and this results in extremely poor performance of scrolling/animations especially when the main iTunes window is enlarged with Hi-DPI screens. Apple given your incredible coding skills please could you provide a user experience suitable for users dealing with iDevices beyond macOS.

  • Satellite C660D-124 - not always switch to external monitor

    Hiya,

    When I connect via VGA External monitors (I tried various ones, Samsung, Dell, Iiyama) on my C660D-124, it may have problems switching to them. In general what's happening, it of happening very well for about 5 seconds, then returns to the LCD screen. The only reliable method I can find to spend is to turn off the machine (hibernation is very good) while the device works on the external screen.
    It is a right pain as I switch monitors all the time.

    Anyone know what is happening and how I can fix this problem?

    What is original OS preinstalled on your laptop (factory settings)?
    You use the key combination FN + F5 to switch between LCD and external monitor?

  • Satellite L500 is not enabled switching

    I'm new to this forum. I got a Toshiba Satellite L500 attempt to fix and the fault is that the laptop has been stopped normally and now will not light.

    I checked the power adapter that is giving 19.25v. I have stripped the laptop down to the motherboard and checked where the DC plug is soldered to the motherboard and who also reads the 19.25v with the adapter plugged. Can someone suggest a possible cause.

    First impressions are a failure of the motherboard, but other ideas are welcome.

  • Portege M800 - no Wlan suddenly - FN + F8 does not show switch Wlan

    If I press FN + F8 it indicates that the wireless connection is disabled - Please enable.
    But how?

    I can't find anywhere, any suspicion. There is no mark in the settings manager that something may be wrong. I tried various things - no driver, but nothing is.

    Any ideas? Please...

    Thank you
    concerning
    Christian

    Hello

    Optionally, you can not activate the WLan due to software problem.
    You must uninstall the Wlan driver.
    You must uninstall the VAP (value added package)
    Then, you must restart the laptop.
    Then clean the registry using CCLeaner (freeware tool) software
    Reboot the laptop
    Then install the WLan driver
    Reboot the laptop and install VAP.
    Restart the laptop and check the FN + F8 feature.
