Laptop with two graphics cards? [Nvidia Optimus - SOLVED]

Hi,
I just bought a laptop that includes two graphics cards: a low-power Intel one and a high-performance nVidia card. Right now I'm just using the Intel graphics card, and the system only detects it. When I install nVidia drivers I have to uninstall the intel drivers because of incompatibilities, and it doesn't even start the X server. I could attach a log if necessary, but I haven't found anything relevant, it just says that the nVidia driver is not valid for the detected graphics card. Is there a way to use both graphics cards transparently, like in other-operating-systems?
Some hints? Thank you!

It's called Optimus. Kinda surprised there's people who don't already know about it. Not supported fully in Linux, but there's a hack to get the nvidia card going: Bumblebee

CS4 and Mac Pro with two graphic cards: OpenGL not supported!

I have two graphic cards in my Mac Pro. If a use a dual display setup where both displays are connected to the same card, Photoshop enables OpenGL support (Preferences > Performance).
Switch both displays to the other card, also works fine.
BUT if I connect one display to the first card and the second display to the second card (so each display has its own graphic card) the Open GL support is greyed out (I can not longer use canvas display rotation for example)
This doesn't make sense to me and looks like a bug...

Are you running two of the same cards or are they different? I'm running a pair of NVidia 7300GTs with no issues...and I'm driving a pair of 30" Cinemas and an NEC 26" widescreen. I get better performance on the single 30" than on the card with the two displays. Also note that which PCI slot you are driving the cards in has an impact on their performance...something to look into.

Bought laptop with no graphics card.

Hi, in June I bought a laptop. I was helped in which one exactly to buy. And when I decided to buy what the empoyee recommended my gaming, it turns out that the laptop didn't come with a graphics card. Now I am stuck with no graphics card..at all. It is a Lenovo V570. I didn't realise this until last week.

Being that the MSRP is only $600, to be blunt, you didn't give them a gaming laptop budget.

Cant open firefox on second screen on computer with two screens with two graphics cards.

I have a computer with two screens and two diffrent graphics card. One of them is onboard GC and another one is USB GC. I am running two instances of FF and it works fine with 3.6.20 version. But when I update to the latest version of FF either 5 or 6 this does not work. Even if i try to open one instance of FF on second screen on USB GC , I cant see anything> i have to move it to the main screen to see the FF window and will not work on the extended screen. I am using windows 7 pro 32 bit and the screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 on both the screens.
Can you please help.
Thanks.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

MSI 890FXA-GD70 mobo won't post with two graphics cards (non-crossfire).

As title of topic says, I have a Sapphire 4870x2 graphics card in the PCIE 1 slot and in the #3 slot I have an ASUS geforce 9600gt passively cooled inserted. When powering on, no monitor signal. With either card in ANY of the slots alone, the motherboard will post as intended. I also cleared CMOS before using both and either together. This is somewhat frustrating as I would absolutely love to use the geforce 9600gt as a physx card in many of the games I play. Any advice on this one?

There are registry hacks available to make physx work with non-nvidia-primary graphics (ati) if you have an eligible graphics chip on-board. I fixed the issue now. Apparently, BIOS needed to know which graphics card was the primary - so by leaving the4870x2 connected first and connecting the 9600gt after (have a 120mm fan attached to the side of it with cable zip ties) things work as intended. So yeah, i'll get those registry hacks working and physx going on this rig. And please, if you're absolutely certain what you're saying say it. Otherwise, please do some research before telling me what I can and can't do.

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 is crashing when i plug three screens on two graphic cards.

Hi Guys,
my mac pro (2010) is running with two graphic cards (2x ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics).
Premiere Pro crashes always when i plug in two displays on one graphic card and one display to the other one.
when i unplug the third display on the second graphic card, premiere pro is working well.
It would be very great to get some Answers.
Thanks

Anyone? The Adobe-Chat-Support couldn't help.

Is it possible to set primary and secondary display with 2 graphics cards?

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro with two graphics cards and four monitors installed. Does anyone know how the computer (or more specifically Keynote) determines which is the primary display and which is the secondary?
Also is there any way to change the scheme?
What I am trying to do is switch the primary and secondary from the two monitors in my office to the monitor at the podium (would like it to become primary) and a vga projector (would like it to become secondary)
I bought the second graphics card so I wouldn't have to switch the cables back and forth three times a week. All the monitors work fine, it's just a matter of determining or changing primary/secondary
Thanks in advance

Thanks Malcolm
I got that far – The keynote manual says that the display with the menu bar is the primary display – that works out fine. The problem is that the manual says that the display without the menu bar is the secondary (or alternate). But there are three displays without the menu bar.
What I would like to find out is: is there a way to choose the display without the menu bar to be the alternate?
When I try various combinations, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which display is the alternate.
Thanks again for your response!

Two graphics card

I´d like to know if with two graphics card in your macpro increase the render speed working with motion,after,etc...
Thanks a lot.

To give Credit where it is due, BlackMagic Software's DaVinci Resolve is currently only App I know to run in OSX and leverage more than one GPU. It uses a GT120 as GUI card while using a GTX285 to render. Any other mix of cards greatly slows the app down.
We can all hope that someday more apps will do this. Apple hasn't made it easy. (despite all of the "OpenCl / Grand Central" hoopla)

[Solved] Communicating with nearby laptop with just wireless cards

Is there a way to communicate (e.g. exchange files) between a laptop with a wireless card and a nearby laptop that also has a wireless card, when there is no router nearby? Can two laptops with wireless cards communicate with each other without needing another device?

W530 - How does things work when having two graphics cards?

So I have a W530 with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 and a NVIDIA Quadro K2000M.
How does things work when the computer has two graphics cards? I mean, is only one active at a time? Or is one doing complex calculations while the other one might be the one displaying them on the screen?
Related question:
I just bought and installed the game Portal 2. How do I know if it is using the better graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro K2000M)? And if it is not, how do I configure Windows, Steam or Portal 2 to use it to its full potential?

Technically, the Intel integrated graphics is always active, although it is not always in use. Nvidia graphics will turn on and off according to need. Software from Nvidia called Optimus automatically switches between integrated (Intel) and dedicated (Nvidia) graphics, according to the application. Portal 2 will run smoothly at maximum settings and native 1920x1080 resolution using the K2000M. The easiest way to see which graphics card is in use is to check the "Display GPU activity icon in notification area" option in the Desktop menu of the Nvidia control panel. It should automatically use the Nvidia graphics card when Steam is running. If it does not, you can add Steam to the program settings in Nvidia control panel and select that it should always use the Nvidia graphics.
Also, if you are using an external monitor and the notebook monitor, then you will be using both graphics cards - the Intel graphics will drive the notebook screen and the Nvidia card will power the external display(s).

Advantage/disadvantage two graphics cards in Mac Pro?

I'm working on an unfamiliar edit suite. They've installed two graphics cards in a late model Mac Pro. The second monitor isn't responding properly ... it's a black screen when it is supposed to be a full screen display of whatever is on the timeline.
A Mac Tech support article says: "Final Cut Studio applications may exhibit unexpected behaviors when used on a Mac Pro that has more than one graphics card. Unexpected behaviors may include rendering issues, Digital Cinema Desktop display issues, and window display issues."
The Tech support article says to pull one of the graphics cards.
This isn't my system. What is the advantage to having two graphics cards in a Mac Pro?
I want to pull one to make the 2nd monitor respond correctly. But I have to justify this to the owners of the suite.
All ears,
Ben

Hi guys,
I disconnected one card. Working with a single monitor there are is no more crashing with FCP. The card I'm using has a DVI out and two miniDisplayPorts. I'm looking around for an adaptor (or two) to go with the two miniDisplayPort outs. The card is an ATI RADEON 5770; I think it will support up to three monitors, two for sure.
There is no one in the suite here at present ... I've been poking around for the adaptors. I think canceling out the second graphics card may solve all my problems.
Thank you kindly for your help,
Ben

Can the 2008 Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) support two graphics cards?

I have a 2008 Mac Pro, I want to know if I can run two graphics cards in tandem?
I currently have a ATI Radeon HD 5770 installed for 1GB of graphics, I want to find out if It's also possible to run a second card to increase the total graphics power of the machine?
I see two possible options;
First, run the HD 5770 in one of the PCI Express 16-lane slots, and the old NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT in the other available 16-lane slot; for a total of 1.5GB GPU power.
Second, would it be possible to run two ATI Radeon HD 5770 cards, in each 16-lane slot; for a total of 2GB of GPU power.
I realise that this would first require a power supply upgrade, as my machine only shipped with a 318 watt power supply. (Which would not support running two high-end cards.)
It would be very useful.
Thank you for any advice.
Regards,
Peter.

Thanks for the information!
I wouldn't have thought there would be enough power capacity in the current supply to run two cards. - Would this mean OS X will only see one card whilst the other sits as inactive hardware? (Or does it mean that that the system will see two different cards?
For example:
Would it be possible to use one card for a graphics intensive process in Adobe Photoshop, and use the other card separately with another application such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro?
Also, how would a 64-bit application like Adobe Photoshop which has GPU acceleration utilise the setup? Would it only be ably to use one card at a time (per process)? Or could it utilise both cards at once to in essence get twice the graphics acceleration than if only using a single card?
Simply, can OS X assign each card to a different application/process? I hope that makes sense.
Also, any thoughts on how Bootcamp would handle two cards (since crossfire should be available in Windows?
Before I commit to purchasing a second 5770, would you seeing if my Mac will run the current card + the old NVIDIA 8800 gt?
Thanks in advance.
