T510 with nVidia 3100M Optimus - not switching

Just received the above mentioned PC and I was trying to test out the switching capability of the Optimus technology.  However, I can't seem to get it to switch.  I have a game inside Steam and through the nVidia control panel I have set Steam to work with the discrete cart, but it never switches.  This is evident because I've started up a game with Optimus enabled versus entering the BIOS and explicitly choosing the discrete card and it makes a world of difference.
Is there another application I could use to test out the switching capability (I read a previous message about Steam possibly not working).  Or is there any way to explicitly switch the cards within the OS?  I am looking for a way to verify this technology works.

That would be beautiful, except that it wasn't switching automatically in certain cases.  In particular, Steam was having an issue.
I made some headway though.  Basically, I updated the drivers for the nVidia chip by going to this page:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_drivers.html
And having them scan my system.  You have to allow them to use an ActiveX control (hint: use 32-bit IE for this).  This resulted in two options, one for the 3100M and one for the Intel chip.  I chose the 3100M download (version 2.67 from 3/24/2011) and installed it.
The first thing I noticed is the nVidia control panel had a lot more configured apps.  Also, on the preview pane, I actually saw the spinning nVidia 3D logo whereas before it wasn't showing up in Optimus mode.  I was able to see the switching happen via this utility:
http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/26992-optim​us-test-tools-finally-in-users-hands/
I was a little worried downloading at first, but it seemed to work fine.  Anyway, you can play around with various applications and watch the switch happen.
Unfortunately, my game through Steam still crashed out, but it got a lot further after the driver update.  I've seen a lot of other people have problems with this particular game (Civ 5) using optimus, so I'll just chalk it up to the game for now.  It plays fine if I explicitly set the discrete chip in the BIOS which I can live with. 
My next step will be to test other games to make sure it truly is game specific.  Hope this helps people having the same problem.

  • T510 Nvidia 3100M - Can't switch between integrated and discrete?

    I just received my new T510 laptop. My old T500 laptop let me switch the graphics card by right-clicking on the Power Manager, but on this new laptop there doesn't appear to be a way to switch from the Intel to Nvidia GPU without going into the BIOS. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?

    Go into BIOS, set it to Integrated only, load up a game, note the framerate. Go back to BIOS, set it to discrete only, load up the same game, and note the framerate. Go back to BIOS, set it to Optimus, and load up the same game. See if it corresponds to the integrated framerate or the discrete framerate.
    The Intel GPU can run MW2 moderately well:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_uKBTcPMXA
    My HD3470 can run MW2 at 960x600 with all options turned on and textures to auto.. The NVS3100M should be twice the speed and should run it fairly fluently.

  • DVI to Video Adapter with NVIDIA 8800 GT not working

    Hi all. I have the new Mac Pro Octo (mar '08) with the NVIDIA GFORCE 8800 GT card. I cannot find anywhere what may be wrong. Only on the Apple Website for the adapter that the only Mac Pro it works with is the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT). However, both tech support and Apple's Store staff said this would work, prior to buying it. Well, my computer does not recognize the TV monitor hooked up via S-Video. I've powered everything down, restarted, unplugged and replugged in both orders, and switched inputs on the TV and receiver both. Nothing.
    Any one know if this does or does not work with this computer???
    Thanks.

    Never mind. Found this out via Apples own website. Thanks APPLE TECH SUPPORT and STORE STAFF for getting me to buy a useless cable!
    Mac Pro Computers (January 2008)
    The Mac Pro computers with Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 Series microprocessors were introduced in January 2008. The Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem interfaces to the North Bridge via a 16-lane PCIe 2.0 bus. For information on the PCI Express graphics support and expansion, refer to PCI Developer Note.
    The following sections describe the Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem.
    Graphics Cards
    Supported graphics cards have dual-link DVI connectors, supporting 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays on both ports.
    For information on video memory, power, and features refer to Table 1.
    All of the supported graphics cards support dual displays in either extended desktop or video mirroring mode; for more detail, see “External Display Modes.”
    Table 1 Supported Graphics Cards
    Graphics card
    Video SDRAM
    Power usage
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (standard)

    110 W
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 (configure to order)
    1536 MB (GDDR3)
    175 W
    The GeForce 8800GT graphics card requires that a booster cable be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. The Quadro FX 5600 graphics card requires two booster cables be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. For additional information, refer to the PCI Developer Note.
    The Mac Pro supports the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display at a resolution of 1680 x 1050, the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 1920 x 1200, and the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 2560 x 1600. All ports support a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 at 32-bit with 85 Hz refresh rate. Multiple PCI Express graphics cards can support three or more displays.
    The table below lists the displays supported by port 1 and port 2.

    For information on video ports, see “Video Monitor Ports.” For information on PCI Express expansion slots, refer to PCI Developer Note.
    Video Monitor Ports
    The Mac Pro has a DVI connector for an external video monitor. For a description of the DVI connector, refer to Figure 4 and Table 30.
    The graphics data sent to the digital monitor use transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS). TMDS uses an encoding algorithm to convert bytes of graphics data into characters that are transition-minimized to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) with copper cables and DC balanced for transmission over fiber optic cables. The TMDS algorithm also provides robust clock recovery for greater skew tolerance with longer cables or low-cost short cables.
    Note: The Mac Pro computer includes a DVI to VGA Adapter.
    DVI to Video Adapter
    The Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card supports an optional DVI to S-video/composite adapter that provides S-video and composite output to a PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR. When a display is connected by way of the video adapter, the computer detects the type of adapter and enables the composite and S-video outputs. The settings for the resolutions and standards (NTSC or PAL) are then selectable in the Display pane in System Preferences.
    Note: The DVI to Video Adapter does not come packaged with the Mac Pro computer and must be purchased separately.
    The video output connector is a 7-pin S-video connector. Figure 5 shows the arrangement of the pins and Table 31 shows the pin assignments on the composite out and S-video connector.
    The Mac Pro computer provides video output at picture sizes and frame rates compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards; the picture sizes are listed in Table 32. Those picture sizes produce under-scanned displays on standard monitors.

    Hi Karol,
    Thank you for the suggestion. I read the wiki Nvidia#No_screens_found_on_a_laptop.2FNVIDIA_Optimus .
    It says "On a laptop, if the NVIDIA driver cannot find any screens, you may have an NVIDIA Optimus setup : an Intel chipset connected to the screen and the video outputs, and a NVIDIA". This seems to be the case for my latop.
    The wiki suggests three options to get around the problem:
    1) NVIDIA drivers now offer Optimus support since 319.12 Beta [[3]] with kernels above and including 3.9.
    2) Another solution is to install the Intel driver to handle the screens
    3) Enter the BIOS and changed the default graphics setting from 'Optimus' to 'Discrete' and the install NVIDIA drivers
    I tried them all:
    1) I had NVIDIA driver version 337 installed, but I don't know how to turn on Optimus support
    3) I check my bios settings, but there is no such option
    2) I removed the nvidia drivers and then installed intel drivers. I removed /etc/x11/xorg.conf
    startx now find screens. I guess there is no 2d or 3d acceleration, but it works
    Thank you

  • Display problems with lenovo T410 with Nvidia NVS 3100M

    Hi,
    I am having terrible video display quality in my new T410 with Nvidia 3100M graphics card. While playing SD and HD videos, I get very poor display quality, shadows and broken pixels . I have taken these screen shots to show the issue. I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue.
    http://i.imgur.com/bCh95.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IUONm.jpg
    Nvidia Control Panel http://i.imgur.com/D04wc.png
    I can confirm that the quality of the videos is not flawed as I have played same videos on other non HD displays and they look much better. I also have up to date drivers for nvidia. I hope someone can help me improve the display quality of my laptop as it is a major inconvenience. The problem is mostly with video only as images are displayed much better.
    Thanks!

    What are you using to play the videos?
    Edit: Didn't read propely: "I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue."
    Have you tried VLC? Unlike alot of other players it takes care of the decoding itself. Other players might all use the same decoder.

  • KDE systemsettings causing freeze on x86_64 with nvidia

    not sure where to post this, but i have been having a difficult time tracking down this problem.
    it only happens when i have effects enabled.
    when i try to access system settings it hangs the GUI.  i can eventually get over to the command line and "killall systemsettings" and return to the GUI.
    i have been runing the 180.08 / 180.06 drivers.
    i rolled back to the 177.80 drivers and the problem is different, but similar:
    when i have effects enabled and try to access system settings the window shows nothing until i disable effects.  then i can see all the icons (appearance, desktop, etc...)
    I did NOT have this problem before i recently reformatted my system in favor of the 64 bit version of Arch.
    any help in tracing this gremlin would be appreciated!

    I just installed it to check here and have no problems running it.  x64_86, Nvidia graphics card with nvidia driver, KDE (not mod).  Compositing enabled.  Didn't have a .celestiarc before.  I know it's not a whole lot of help, but it might help to narrow down things a little. perhaps it points towards the graphics driver or mesa?

  • Slim won't work with nvidia

    Hi!
    I've read somewhere how to use slim with nvidia but forgot where.
    Is there anybody that use slim with nvidia (binary driver, not nv)?

    mpie wrote:how are you starting slim?
    from rc.conf
    mpie wrote:are you restarting slim after installing changing to nvidia?
    /etc/rc.d/slim stop
    nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    /etc/rc.d/slim start
    Reboot does not helps too.

  • Xorg not working with NVidia card on laptop.

    Hi, I'm new here, but have been using other distros for a while now.
    My problem is that whenever i try to use the discrete graphics Xorg freezes and the logs say something about not having a valid display for the card.
    The Intel graphics work fine for most things, but for example Steam doesn't launch because of a missing GLX plugin or something.
    GDM and Gnome also just give me a "something went wrong" instead of letting me log in or use the desktop (lxdm + kde works fine).

    I had a similar issue but i solved it following the instructions explained here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … l.2FNVIDIA.
    I also reccomend you to install the bbswitch package which disables NVIDIA discrete graphics card when isn't used.

  • W530 Windows 8.1 Hyper-V nVidia Optimus not working

    Well, I only just noticed when I tried to run a CUDA enabled application that my nVidia Optimus drivers are not working.
    If I look in "Device Manager" then it only shows the Intel HD 4000 device, no sign of my nVidia card at all.
    This only started happening after I enabled the Hyper-V role, and was working fine when I was using VMWare Workstation.
    Setup:
    Intel i7-3840QM | 32GB RAM | nVidia K2000M Optimus | 2x 512GB SSD
    Windows 8.1 Pro | Hyper-V Role Enabled
    Note - I don't want to force Discrete Graphics in the BIOS because I need decent battery life!

    To me it seems that this will not work under Win 8 Pro.
    I think that this would require the Windows OS Feature "RemoteFX", which is bundled by Microsoft only with the Server version of the OS.
    If you are able to check whether it works fine with "RemoteFX", please inform me with a note here.
    I had a similar issue.  I opened the thread
    Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator incompatible to nVidia Quadro graphic control?
    I'm  still waiting for a qualified response by Microsoft.
    Maybe you can inform them, too, that bundling  "RemoteFX" with Win Pro would be a good thing.

    Hello,
    If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
    I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
    Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
    - close all apps by multitasking....
    - do NOT keep the brightness to the max
    Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
    Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)

    i have problem with my iphone 5 lock switch..as lock switch not working properly..and my iphone is not in warrenty.. so plz tell me what i do...

    The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  See if that clears the glitch.

  • IPhone not connecting through Bluetooth on iMac 21.5 inch with Nvidia 750 M

    On my iMac 21.5 with Nvidia 750 M, both of my iPhones (iPhone 5s and iPhone 6) won't connect through bluetooth. I've tried disconnecting my wireless keyboard and mouse. The same connection error would pop-up. *By the way, you can talk in programmer's terms to me.*

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
