MBP w/Intel HD 3000 - ProEngineer?

Has anyone run BootCamp using the Intel HD3000 graphics card? It doesn't show as a supported card and wanted to find out if it will run on it.
Thanks!

Well, after installation, it uses the standard driver, but is marked with a yellow exclamation mark and my text rendering on the screen (for example, in the device manager ;-)) looks really awful... I dont need really 3d accelleration, but I would like to achieve good 2d drawing :/ (yeah, I know, from W7 on Windows uses 3D-drawing pipeline also for the desktop : ( ) But I'm not sure I'm encountering a faulty GPU as under OSX, everything looks fabulous and the extended Low-Level Hardware Test runs fine... I always try to avoid pinning something on faulty hardware till the last second, sloppy driver seems much more probable ;-)
//EDIT Is ther any way to forcely disable the HD3000 so that the AMD GPU can run unhindered short of killing the MBP with a hot iron on trying to "remove" ;D the iGPU-Part? ^^

Does OpenGl 3.2 support Intel HD 3000?

The title kind of says it all, I was just wondering if OpenGl 3.2 supports my integrated graphics intel HD 3000. Also, is it something I download and run, or is it just something on the game?
Thanks

In real life the GPU is supported by the far better CPU in the new machine, more than making up for any shortfall in benchmarked graphics performance. If you really want good graphics, 15" is the way to go.
The previous generation 13" MBP and the current generation 13" MBP handle World of Warcraft & Starcraft II just fine. But you're going to be in low to medium graphic settings. I sit at around 24-32 FPS with those settings on both of the games (having tried it on both of those machines for extended periods of time).
So I agree with rbrian's remark, that while performance wise they're virtually identical the improvements in CPU horsepower of the i5 versus the C2D would be worth it.

I will get macbook air soon , 13" maybe 11". now is the intel hd 3000 good for gaming ?

i am playing this Game Dragona PH , is the system requirements match up ? in MBA ?
can i play it smoothly ? can the intel hd 3000 manage the game ?
heres the system requirements .

13 in MBA (and MBP for that matter) has only "integrated graphics". The graphics chip is part of the CPU, and shares memory with the system/CPU. When this integrated graphics chip heats up, the CPU sometimes has to throttle-back ALL operations to reduce damaging heat.
15 in MBP uses "discrete graphics". This means there is an additional graphics card separate from the CPU, with its own heat-sink and memory (it *may* share share *some* system memory). The heat from a discrete card has far less effect on a CPU so the entire system can stay running at high processing loads.
Games tax the graphics chip, so slow-down the 11/13 MBP/MBA in more because it must throttle back under heavy graphics load.
Regardless of the 11 or 13 system's ability to keep up with today's games, future games will likely tax/heat-up the system in the future.
This in not a "final" answer, I know. Just some facts to consider.

Is the Intel HD 3000 graphics card unsupported?

As for as I'm aware, the Intel HD 3000 graphics, is integrated and not dedicated
Why is it that my old 2009 MBP, with GeForce 9400m/9600m (Whichever it is), performs better than the 2011 macbook pro intergrated graphics.
For example on the system requirements for call of duty 4, it shows all the geforce cards being compatible, and the ati/amd ones. however it shows that integrated graphics are not supported...
Why in 2 years is there a downgrade in graphics?
And where does the Intel HD 3000 stand in terms of performance?

The Intel HD 3000 graphics in the new Intel Sandy Bridge processors is on par with NVIDIA Geforce 310M and AMD Radeon HD 5450. It is a new design, not old. It's more intended for users who don't need high-end graphics power. The Intel HD 3000 is more suited for business users or students who also like to play the occasional game. If you're a Modeller, Animator, VFX Artist or one that is an avid gamer then opting for the MBP 15" or 17" models with AMD Radeon HD 6750M would be better.

X220 Tablet and Windows 8.1 - Limited Touch drops with Intel HD 3000 is installed?

I have installed Windows 8.1 Professional on on a Lenovo X220 Tablet and everything seems to have installed correctly, although my system, which supported limited touch with 2 touch points in Windows 7, only has Pen Support in 8.1.
I have been able to get the system to be recognized as "Pen and Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points" but only if I disable/unintall the Intel HD 3000 driver, and use Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead. The problem is that the resolution isn't as crisp.
Any recommendations as to what I can do to get the limted touch to be recognized with the Intel HD 3000 driver? This one is baffling.
Any help would be appreciated.
The X220 Tablet's type is 4296-2WU
Also, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver is the latest version compatible with 8.1 64bit - 9.17.10.3517.
Update: I have also tried the previous Intel driver release, 9.17.10.3347, as well as the recommend Intel driver from the support page 9.17.10.2843 and non of them allow my screen to do Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points. Yet, if I disable the Intel driver, and restart, I can.

Troy,
Thanks for sharing your expeirences and the details of the driver version.
Officially, I don't think Lenovo provided full support for Win 8 on the X220, but as you note it (and the upgrade to 8.1) can work with some limitations. I'll check with one of our software engineers to see if he may have some suggestions on this one.
I expect you will probably draw some responses from the community as the X220 was a very popular system with a good following.
Best regards,

1. In bios, do you found fixed and dynamic? if you don't found, install bios mod. Use dynamic
2. Uninstall all programs and drivers previously, before of "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Graphic Adapter WDDM1.3 - AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series" Release July 2014. You can use http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU, for example.
3. Do you install windows 8.1 on windows 8.0? do you use windows 8.1 fresh installation? Can you testing install a new copy of windows 8.0 fresh? install drivers and later install updates... or fresh install windows 8.1?
4. You testing install Windows 7 with http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55092.exe and update to windows 8?
5. You testing install http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55092.exe in windows 8 initially?
NOTE: Excuse me my bad english, I try to help you. You should install drivers in order: Intel Chipset Device Software, Intel Rapid Storage Technology, Intel Management Engine Interface (6-series / 7-series / 8-series / 9-series) and then AMD software: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-drivers-software-forum/556469-drivers-hp-dv6-4xxx-dv6-6xxx-dv7-5x...
NOTE 2: My computer support Windows 8.1 native, but your computer not... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5077... will be no new official drivers for these devices

T420 Intel HD 3000 Dual Monitor Mini Dock Issue

I have a T420 with Intel HD 3000 using a Mini Dock, attached to Two external Monitor one VGA and the other one DVI, the problem is that the DVI won't work simultaneously with the VGA, after update the Intel HD driver to the last version available 9.17.10.2843, both monitors works simultaneously, but If I Reboot, Hibernate, Standby or Undock, only the primary monitor (VGA) works and the Extended (DVI) stop working.
I tried using another video driver version and updating the BIOS but not luck, Does any one know if there is a solution for this issue???

Are you trying to keep the internal display on when you connect to the external monitors?

Intel hd 3000 4k support?

Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me if the intel HD 3000 (MacBook Pro 13" late 2011) would work with a 4K monitor??
greetings

Hi @Paul222
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see that you are looking for the latest graphics driver for your Intel HD 3000. Unfortunately, the only drivers that you can use are the ones on the HP website as switchable graphic are configured by the manufacturer of the notebook not the manufacturer of the graphics card.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

Wine and Intel HD 3000 with lib32-intel-dri

I have a HP ProBook 4530s with Intel HD 3000 graphics. Wine doesn't find the graphics card. Usually lib32-intel-dri has solved this, however this time it didn't.

I don't recognize the Gallium/llvmpipe part. Is it some new part of the graphics driver architechture that wine can't recognize?

I have this problem too (ati radeon hd 6670 with ati-dri drivers here). On clean wine:

For me native apps works too (glxgears and glxgears32 from mesa-demos and lib32-mesa-demos). I don't have any 64-bit windows apps to test. Here is similar bug report (closed): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27645.

I use wireless to connect to the Internet and everything works fine when I sign on. After being on line for awhile and my remaining battery power at about 60%, I lose connectivity. I turn off Airport, restart it, and I am asked for my secure password. I enter the password but cannot reconnect. So, I shut down the computer for 5 to 10 minutes, restart, and everything works great again.
Has anyone experienced this behavior and do you have any suggestions as to what is causing the problem.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I think I hit the wrong key ... so here it is again!
Thank you ... I keep seeing this i5 and i7 processor mentioned and it is also recommeded that I stream using it. Do you have any suggestions on which MacBook would serve me better? Or is there an upgrade of any kind that will help me?
Thanks again.

AMD Radeon HD 6630M vs Intel HD 3000 for driving a Thunderbolt Display

Hi
I've searched the net and cant find the specific answers I'm looking for regarding this issue.
Which graphics option is better for the Mac mini when connected to an Apple Thunderbolt display running at 2560 x 1440 resolution:
1) AMD Radeon HD 6630M with its 256mb GDDR5 memory
or
2) Intel HD 3000 with 512mb of memory ( i.e. I will upgrade the Mac mini to 8gb or RAM to get 512mb of video memory).
Now will the HD 3000 with its 512mb of system memory be better simply because it has more, or will the AMD 6630M be better because even though it has less memory it has faster GDDR5 memory as opposed to the DDR3 memory the Intel GPU will use?
I tested out the AMD 6630M in an Apple store and when I had multiple Safari windows open it struggled a bit when I used expose. It stuttered and lagged and the animation was not smooth. Would the Intel 3000 with 512mb ease this problem?
Thanks

Dear KYL, thanks for you fast and honest response. I have to say I am really disappointed. Apple sell so few machines/hrdware choice, you would have thought that the ones they do sell could run the core function of the OS smoothly!
I am really surprised that the Intel chip outperforms the 6630 for 2D? So the 6630 must only be better for 3D?
Is there anywhere that list 2D and 3D performance of different graphics cards to get some idea?
I may try adding the 8 RAM this week and see if it helpls at all. If it does, I wonder if there is a way to force the HD3000 to use even more RAM? i.e my modifying some of the preference or extension files somewhere.
If it doesn't I'm not sure what I will do. all this is logged with Applecare, but the machine was bought by my University, so returning it will be terribly inconvenient - if it is at all possible.
Buying a 15" MBPro is a very expensive way to achieve smooth Expose! I also will have unnecessarily ordered a superdrive external, and would then need to spec the MBPro with a SSD. And get an external HD too.
I love the mini, and the speed of the i7 + SSD is incredible, but jerky OS on something one uses 8 hours a day is just not acceptable.
The purchase is already inconvenient as I have to virtualise SL server to run some old academic software that needs Rosetta (but at leat that works).
Ho hum...
Expose has been around for 8 years or so. I'm amazed modern hardware can't work it smoothly (even on a big display)

Explorer.exe hangs X220 Intel HD 3000

I am dealing with an issue that is driving me crazy. Explorer.exe hangs on mouse over or right/left click. My computer is a Lenovo x220 thinkpad running windows 8.1 pro with 8 gb of ram. All diagnostic scans come back clean. Dual core intel i5 64 bit. Only started after upgrading from windows 7 to 8.1 and a clean boot doesn't help either.
I don't get a crash per say (doesn't blue screen), the system just stops responding forcing a restart of explorer.exe. I believe it only happens when my sony 19 inch monitor is connected. I have done every type of fix approach imaginable - sfc /scannow clean, Dism returns no corruptions and healthy. There are no viruses, malware, corruptions.

All drivers are up to date and the windows assessment console returns no issues with any drivers. Windows updates are all current.

MBA bootcamp intel hd 3000 not working with projectors

If I use the mini display to DVI to connect to a projector, it will work if the displays are mirrored, but if I extend the display, where the projector has a higher resolution, the projector display will have artifacts, noise, and if it has a lot of pictures or videos on the screen, the display sometimes stops working. Even if i set the display resolution to match the same as the laptop, I still get noise and artifacts unless I mirror the displays. Any ideas?
Then if I true to use the mini port VGA to the same projector but Windows won't recognize the projector. I've seen several reports about this. I have the latest Intel graphics driver and my bootcamp partition is running Windows 7, fully updated and patched. I've read some people are suggesting buying a 3rd party mini port to VGA connector to solve this problem. But can anyone confirm?
Lastly, this seems to only happen with my MBA with the Intel HD 3000 graphics. I have another MBA with the Nvidia 300M and the mini port to DVI works fine.

Hi all,
I have same problem with my MBA 13", can't project to projector & some LCD TV via using Mini VGA port in Windows 7. Any solution and pls help.

Turning off automatic graphics switching to only allow Intel HD 3000?

I am trying to configure automatic graphics switching so that it will only ever use the Intel HD 3000 for every single application, and not turn on the the higher end graphics unless I specifically tell it to. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

As far as I can determine if you switch auto-switching off in Energy Saver preferences, then the computer will default to the high performance graphics.
The only possible solution I've come across is this.
