AMD Radeon HD 6630M Compatibility
I would like to purchase a DELL Vostro laptop with `Core i5` and `AMD Radeon HD 6630M`.
I'm not completely sure, but it will probably have the integrated `Intel Graphics HD 3000` card as well.
From your experience / knowledge, will this video card work with Arch (or Linux in general)? Will it _definitely_ be difficult to get working?
I am with the same problem as you are, currently I can turn off the radeon card with vga_switcheroo, but I can't use this card at all, when I switch to the radeon card and I restart Xorg it says client refuses to switch and my computer freezes so I have to hard reset the computer. I am with the open source driver, anyone knows what can be the problem? Thanks

CPUI finally found a fix that worked for the above Mac Mini 5,2 running Windows 7 64bit bootcamp. You need to uninstall all the boot camp AMD drivers and software first then install the :"AMD Catalyist 12.1 Preview Driver 32/64 bit". You will need to find "AMD Catalyist 12.1 Preview Driver 32/64 bit" somewhere other than AMD since they are no help at all and will just blame the other guy or redirect you to another dead end. Below is a link to the actual software I used that worked. Good Luck. You could always try to just install and update the currently installed software and drivers with the one below and that might also work.

Simply put, I may occasionally use a handful of high-demand video games on this device. An AMD Radeon HD 6630M w/256MB dedicated is a decent card, but may fall behind on the more demanding games, especially if I keep this system for an extended period of time. And if, sometime in the future, this device still stands but I find I require a more potent graphical source, is it physically possible to upgrade this piece of hardware without irreparably damaging the machine, regardless the methods needed?
I would be more than willing, at that time, to void the warranty if it still stands and perform extensive deconstruction of the device, or have qualified computer repair workers do so for me. I just want to know if it can be done reasonably. I am aware that if this were the Integrated Intel HD graphics 3000 ONLY version, this would be impossible since that system is connected to the motherboard itself. I am hoping this is not a similiar case
Worse case scenario, it turns out to be entirely impossible, and I will either have to look into other possible devices (should the price of SSDs drop soon, the iMac models as of late look encouraging, but only in that lower price scenario) or make the most of the 6630's capabilities, which I honestly doubt will be too terrible.
Before answering in the negative, please attempt to investigate every possibility.Nope, the "Integrated Graphics" aren't really a video card at all.

Need updated AMD Radeon HD 6630M driver for Windows7
Hi,
I am trying to update my new Macmini running Windows 7 64bit, with updated AMD Radeon HD 6630M drivers and Catalyst.
Everything is working well, but I can't install AMD Catalyst Mobility, as the version from AMD says that my computer doesn't contain the proper graphics.
Note: the reason I need the Catalyst is to adjust the image on my 55" LCD screen, as it is not streched to cover the entire screen.
Any help??I used this driver package too, but I had after the installation of the AMD Drivers a Black Screen, and I could'nt read anything.
Then I solve this problem!
And here are my steps:
1. Download the driver package http://leshcatlabs.net/index.php/2012/11/catalyst-12-10-whql-unifl-for-amdintel-graphics/
2. I have installed it and I made a desktop-icon for the amd Installer.
3. Then I go to the Device Manager and then I clicked with the right-click on the ATi Radeon HD5650 and then I choose
"Update Driver Software...". After this then comes a windows with two messages. I have chosen the Second One "Browse my computer for driver software". Then put in the location of the driver from the installed downloaded package. The Standard location is: C:\Drivers\Catalyst_12.10_WHQL_UnifL\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF
4. Then click on "Next" and then comes a message that a driver wants to get installed, install it.
5. After this then comes the "Black Screen". Now take your finger and press the Display Change Button: |O|
Press the button 3 times and press Enter after this if you don't see your desktop do this step again.
6. Then If you have a picture do step 5 again and now you must look very well because now the desktop is very dark and you can't make the brightness better.
7. After this close all windows but before you could maybe see that the driver for the ATi Graphic Card is successfully installed.
8. Now click on the desktop-icon which called "Run Catalyst 12.10 WHQL UnifL Installer"
9. Run this Installer and then install it and don't make an update. Now choose a "user defined" installation and check if
all important things are would be installed (so far if you can read it).
10. Click on Next and Installation begins. While or after the installation you get now your desktop with a correct
brightness.
I hope it solve your problems -
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?
ThanksDear 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) -
Full HD 3D with Mac mini/AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics?
I am able to output full HD 3D (1080p frame packing) with my 2011 MacAir. I used SwitchResX to define a new resolution of 2205 x 1920 for a 3D beamer that is connected via an HDMI adapter. The beamer recognizes this format as 3D and displayes the 2 packed frames as 3D.
I wonder if the same is possible with the Mac mini with AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics. It SHOULD work the same way, but only if this is ensured, I will buy one.Hi skampi77,
here are the SwitchResX settings that work for an Onkyo AV receiver, and for an JVC 3D beamer (sorry for the German):
I connected the 3D beamer either directly or via the Onkyo AV receiver to the HDMI or (via an adapter) to the DVI output of the Mac mini. And, indeed, the output is in both cases HDMI 1.4a.
I can output full HD 3D images and video. For slide shows, I use a beta version of Graphics Converter v8 ( I asked Torsten Lemke to implement the frame packing format. Please contact him to get access to the beta version, even for testing purposes). This version has in the slide show settings a box "convert output to frame packing" that has to be checked. For video, I use Bino <http://bino3d.org>. In Bino frame packing output is one of the options.
In both cases, one has to switch to the frame packing format before Graphics Converter or Bino is started.
It is helpful to use one of the outputs (DVI or HDMI) for the "control screen", and the other for the 3D output that is switched to full HD frame packing format.
I hope this helps.

BSOD after installing Boot Camp, AMD Radeon 6630M driver issue
I have reinstalled Windows using Boot Camp twice now and get a blue screen right after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting.
I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my Mac mini 2011 edition. I created an install disk in Lion and used the option to copy the Boot Camp drivers into the disk.
I have narrowed the problem down to Apple's driver for the AMD Radeon 6630M graphics which my Mac mini has. The driver will install without errors but then the blue screen appears on next startup. If I use safe mode to uninstall the AMD driver, the blue screen goes away, but the display resolution is very low.
I checked for driver updates from AMD, but there are none for the 6630M.
Anyone else having this issue?Hi,
I have installed Windows using Boot Camp and I also get the blue screen of death right after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting.
I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a i7 Mac mini 2011 edition. I created the USB install thumb within Lion's Boot Camp, and got downloaded the latest Bootcamp drivers (bootcamp 4.0). I connect the mac mini to a 24" iiyama screen with a HDMI cable. I don't have a DVI cable anymore unless i would have checked that point too.
I have also narrowed the problem down to Apple's driver for the AMD Radeon 6630M graphics which my Mac mini also has. The driver will install without errors but then the blue screen appears on next startup. If I use safe mode to uninstall the AMD driver or renaming the atikmdag.sys file (the main cause of the crash), the blue screen goes away, but the display can't get the effects such as Aero interface.
AMD provides official drivers that don't recognize its own 6630m graphic card with Apple, then doesn't install any up-to-date driver... Only Apple's AtiGraphics setup program will install the drivers...but it makes Windows 7 crash at each boot.
Thanks for your technical skills or info to come over this issue (or releasing a bootcamp update ?) -
Was AMD Radeon GPU compatibility removed in CS6?
I was wondering...
I checked out the AE CS6 trial and noticed that I cannot use my GPU whereas in CS5.5 I was able to.
I'm using an AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB and CS6 tells me the GPU is either not available or has an incompatible device or display driver.
I've the latest drivers for my graphics card so I don't think it's the latter.
Was AMD Radeon GPU compatibility removed in favor of NVIDIA or is the whole OpenGL part of AE gone?Raytracing is the only GPU related option I could find in the Previews part of the Preferences window, inside the "GPU Information" pop-up.
Also, in "Display", "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" is greyed out, I can't tick/enable it.
The lightning bolt (Fast Previews) button doesn't show OpenGL related options either.
Running on Windows 7 64 bit.

I installed Premiere Pro CS 6.0 on a brand new system.
Win 8.1,
i7 3.4 GHz on an Asus Sabertooth
16 Gig memory
AMD Radeon R9 290 Graphics Board with the latest drivers and Bios.
On starting Premiere I get the (as I noticed quite frequent appearing) error message that Premiere cannot find a capable play module and the suggestion to update my video drivers.
I tried everything I found in this forum or on the web:
Installed the latest drivers
Run the program as an administrator
Updated the Graphics board Bios
Updated Premiere CS6
Started Gpusniffer in CMD-mode to find out what board it found and added that to the cuda_supported_cards.txt in the Premiere directory.
All to no avail. The app will simply not start.

As I invested a lot in the CS6 Master Collection I am not considering an update tot the CC version, also because the same problem occurs in that version too.
I would be much obliged if someone has an answer that truly will work. This problem costed me the best part of two days’ work and fouled up my workflow considerably.==========
I tried to go into display settings and disable the Intel card. (this caused low resolution which is unexceptable)
==========
This makes me think it's using that graphics "card" ( probably built into mobo ? ...called 'onboard graphics ? )
This stuff gets tricky and sometimes the only way to make windows 'recognize' the pci graphics card is to actually take it out and boot, and then put it back in...
Then you get mssg " windows detected new hardware" and you install the drivers...
usually bios gives you choice of using onboard graphics or not ( but this too is wanky sometimes...sorry to say ...)
I recently ( this past year ) had a similar sort of situation but have a desktop, where its easy for me to take off side panel and pull the pci-e graphics card and boot, and get that horrible low res default screen...turn off, install card, reboot etc...
but anyway, it sounds to me like you're notebook is using that mobile graphics driver stuff and not the radeon. Somehow you've got to make it switch to that graphics card is maybe your solution.
sorry I dont have notebook but maybe someone else here does and can help more...
good luck.
ps..its always a weird fact of life...when things aren't working 'right' something has to get done fast....
edit:
I dont know how much you know about windows stuff, but after you disable that intel thing and get your low res screen.. you DID try to update the driver for that card using 'my computer / device manager ' right ?? -

Lenovo G500 Windows 7 AMD radeon Driver
Hello i have recently installed Windows 7 in my Lenovo G500 but i cant seem to find The AMD radeon driver anywhere..please help.
Yes, it is either 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, not sure which.
But it would likely require you purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade. But you can update to 10.7.5 for free to see what you get.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

I can't seem to get the driver to install properly for this device, when I do it always error 43's. The default windows driver works OKAY but gaming is completely out. Can anyone tell me how to get it functioning correctly?
Hi,
Do you mean that the driver for AMD Radeon HD 8330 graphic card stops working and shows error code 43? Does this issue only happen when upgraded to Windows 10 Technical Preview. First I would suggest you uninstall the driver from
device manager, then Scan for hardware changes or reboot PC to automatically reinstall the driver. detailed information in the link below can be helpful
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725873(v=ws.10).aspx
I found on web, and didn't find a driver for this device for Windows 10 Technical Preview , so it might be a driver compatibility issue, I suggest you confirm the detailed driver info with the device manufacture.

On Boot Camp, the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is reporting "Code 43" Problems.
I am on an iMac with Retina 5K display and in the latest build 9926, my graphics card is having problems. In the Device Manager the "AMD Radeon R9 M295X" is saying "Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems."
There has been no updates for this in Windows Updates.
I have installed the Boot Camp Support Software, but this did not fix the problem.
My graphics card worked perfectly in Build 9879.Hi,
In my opinion, since system threw the error message: "Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." There is two possible reason of this problem:
1. Driver compatibility problem, however, it's hard to make troubleshoot and fix this problem.
2. Driver installed problem, we can resolve this problem by uninstall the problematic driver and reinstall a new version. You can follow the steps of the link below to reinstall the driver:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725873(v=ws.10).aspx
In addition, it would be better to use driver verifier to check current graphic card driver compatibility.

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
