Change of GPU

Hi,
after multiple crash of PPR CS5, I made a test with Vegas 10. The results are the same; as soon I go to best preview, intens work, the system crash. No informations available from Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
This problem follows me since longtime and I have no more time to re-edit my footage.
Definitively the fault is not the software but the hardware, perhaps to hot? We have some 40 to 50 degs in Namibia.
All other applic working fine, I supose that ther is a problem with the older GeForce GTX 260 consolidated much more by video applic then by normal photo, music or developping work.
The only cuda supported card by PPR I can get in Namibia is the Gigabyte GeForce GTX470 - 1.25GB DDR5. or must it be a Nvidia?
please advice if this will be a good choice.....
best regards, JPB

Hi,
I will get the new GTX 570 tomorrow.
In the last hours I made some additional test in order to really define the problem:
First I changed the sound card, no result
Then I reset the system to a basic Win7 Home system with only PPR CS5, no updates
Disconnect all additional hardware as contour and USB card reader.
PPR and Vegas crash after some 20 minutes basic work (just cut unnecessary scenes out)
Now we come to the interesting thing:
I got a 3 hours (RAW scenes) video from a friend, recorded in MTS format and import it into a AVCHD 1080i project (remember my footage is HDV Tape, captured and imported into HDV 1080i).
This 3 hours video plays in Vegas and PPR in best resolutions without any crash?!
Resulting questions:
- Is the HDV captured footage more "complicate" then the MTS format?
- is the video card overstressed by this footage (remember the stress test could not finish before the system crashed).
This could explaine that all other activities on this PC are working, only extensive video display on screen make him crash, perhaps in conjuncyion with higher temps and humidity.
Any idea?
Regards, JPB

Cant change to "high perfomance" GPU

I have a HP G62 model: b19so
my problem is that after installing fresh copy of WIN 7 64bit, my notebook refuses to change the GPU mode to High perfomance and getting this windows aero error message. It changes for 3 sec and then switches back.
Installed twice new drivers and even the good old ones doesnt fix the problem.

Hi @Geido ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you are unable to change the GPU mode to high performance.
I could not read the entire message as the color scheme window covers some of it. From the screen shot I believe it tells you to disable automatic switching.
Please uncheck Automatically select power-saving GPU when on............ on the same Windows that you posted a screen shot of.
The color scheme was only changed to run the program you were trying to access and the windows tells you it will revert back to Window's aero when the program is no longer running.
If this has not helped, please repost the screen shot with out the color scheme window so the entire message can be seen or please provide the exact error.

T530 buggy dual GPU's

I purchased a kind of souped-up T530 with the sole purpose of making it my entertainment laptop with the intention of connecting it to a big screen LCD via the DisplayPort cable, basically to watch internet streaming video or DVDs. The T530 came with two GPUs, an NVIDIA 5400M and an "onboard" Intel HD Graphics 4000. I have had some buggy issues with the way that the two GPUs communicate with each other since the beginning, but after some experimentation - maybe I have finally fixed my problem. Since I had very little luck finding any documentation of the types of issues I was having, I am posting this here for any others.
Since day 1, the NVIDIA Control Panel Application (which you must use to configure multiple displays) has listed the DisplayPort (the TV) as being under the control of the NV5400M and the laptop display as being under the control of the Intel HD Graphics 4000. Having the two displays under the control of different GPUs presented a bunch of problems, such as displays suddenly blacking out in the middle of movies and DVD's only playing on one screen or the other (never both). I had monkeyed around with this for months and just thought this was the way that it was. See below screen print for how NVIDIA Control Panel saw the situation:
Link to image 1
I was also having power management issues (another thread here) and someone suggested that I change the GPU configuration in the BIOS. I had never done this before, so I went in and under Config-Graphics Device, there are three choices - none of which are particularily informative:
1. Integrated Graphics mode will achive longer battery life.
2. Discrete Graphics mode will achieve higher graphics performance.
3. NVIDIA Optimus mode runs as Integrated Graphics mode and Discrete Graphics is enabled on demand. NOTE: NVIDIA Optimus mode should not be used if using XP.
I had apparently been running with option 3, NVIDIA Optimus mode which seemed to make the two displays sort of choppy, where if the laptop display woke up from black screen, it would black out a second time for a few seconds as if the two GPUs were trying to sync up to each other. Back to BIOS - I changed the setting to option 2, Discrete Graphics mode and re-booted.
The result was that the multiple display blackouts stopped happening, but the laptop display and DisplayPort display still came up as each being under the control of a different GPU. So, one of my problems was resolved, but I still couldn't watch DVDs simultaneously on both displays (a feature called Theatre Mode on AMD gpu's).
I also tried monkeying around with the Intel HD 4000 control panel, which would never allow multiple displays and seemed set on only wanting to control the laptop screen. I don't think the Intel HD4000 even has access to the DisplayPort. It is very confusing having two graphics control panels, an NVIDIA one and an Intel one. Only the NVIDIA Control panel allows any manipulation of a secondary screen, btw.
So, I tried going back to BIOS again to see what would happen if I chose option 1, Integrated Graphics mode. This time, on re-boot - the NVIDIA Control panel wouldn't even launch, so it must be turned off with this mode. So, the only option is to try using the Intel control panel which won't even recognize secondary screens at all. So, apparently with Integrated Graphics mode, you lose any ability of using the DisplayPort at all.
I went back yet again and changed the BIOS back to option 2, Discrete Graphics mode - thereby putting the NVIDIA 5400M back in business. But guess what, this time the NVIDIA Control panel shoiwed both the laptop screen and the DisplayPort both under control of the NVIDIA gpu only. This resolved the problem of the DVD's. Now DVDs play simultaneously on both displays now that they are both under the control of a single GPU.
Link to image 2
I have found this whole experience (months actually) of the dual GPUs to be very ill documented and very buggy. To think that I only corrected my problem by changing the BIOS settings four times is incredible to me. Anyway, I suppose this post will just float down into obscurity, but I had been having ZERO luck finding anything about this topic at all on the boards.
Moderator note: large image(s) converted to link(s): About Posting Pictures In The Forums

Even more on this topic. I ended up re-booting for an ulrelated reason and found my display adapter configuration again back to the split scenario with the Intel HD 4000 in charge of the laptop display and the NVIDIA NVS5400M in charge of the display port. I was surprised to see my configuration return back to the undesired configuration that was causing me so many problems.
It turns out there is also a secondary setting within BIOS Config-Graphics Device, right beneath the three choices for the graphics mode I had mentioned before. The setting is called OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus and it says "If Enabled, System BIOS automatically switches Graphics device setting to NVIDIA Optimus Mode if the OS supports this feaure, and to Discrete Graphics mode if the OS does not support it".
So, my secondary setting had been ENABLED, resulting in my request for Discrete Graphics mode (#2 above) being changed automatically back to NVIDIA Optimus Mode (#3 above). I changed this setting to DISABLED, changed the mode back to Discrete Graphics (#2) and have re-booted a few times. It looks like it should stay in Discrete Graphics mode for good, I am hoping.
Just playing around with this BIOS setting a little, I can boil it down to this:
If Integrated Graphics mode is chosen, only the Intel HD4000 gpu is active in Device Manager, the NVIDIA gpu is completely de-activated. With this mode, there is no ability for a second display at all. I suppose the idea here is that you are completely running on battery power and wouldn't have any secondary displays attached anyway.
If Discrete Graphics mode is chosen, only the NVIDIA NVS5400M gpu is active in Device Manager, the Intel HD4000 gpu is completely de-activated. With this mode, there is an ability to have a second display via the Display Port, and the NVIDIA gpu takes charge of both the primary and secondary displays. While it may be the most power consumptive, it works the best for actually viewing video.
If NVIDIA Optimus mode is chosen, both the Intel HD4000 gpu and the NVIDIA NVS5400M gpu are active in device manager. With this mode, each gpu takes charge of one of the displays and must try and communicate with each other with regard to video rules and power consumption (I have found it to be buggy). Also, the switch setting mentioned above indicate that this is the default setting unless you specifically tell it not to be.
I am mostly happy to finally understand what had been happening and it appears that by me putting the T530 into Discrete Graphics mode, that multiple power state errors, random screen black-outs, and inability to view DVDs correctly were finally corrected after months of mystery. This seems to be a very little documented problem, as I have been searching for the answer for months...

GPU problem in Photoshop cs6

How change the GPU in Photoshop CS6? My photoshop only detect my intel GMA and my pc have one geforce 640m what can i do to change it?

PS will use the primary system GPU. You will have to change that in your system settings or BIOS/ EFI even.

I need to know how to change default browser for my desktop icloud apps to open with.

I like to use the desktop icloud apps, but when i use them, they open with IE when my default browser I like to use is Chrome. Is there a way to make it open with Chrome when I open Calendar or iCloud from my desktop instead of IE?
thankyou for your help in advance!

Ed...maybe a little less time gaming and a bit more time in English class? They got this thing called punctuation and sentences now. Last things first; there is no amount of money that can change your GPU so you can scratch that expense off the list. So you need a battery and a fan? Where do you live? USA? We can help you find a battery but where did you plan to have the new fan put in?

Gpu for iphone 4s air 3.4 drop in performance

Hello, im building an air 3.4 actionscript mobile app in flash builder 4.7 for iphone. this is my first app.
the core function of this app is to play movieclips exported from flash in 1 swc.
the clips after added on stage are being scaled 4 times bigger, and played.
so the problem is that i found out you can change render mode in yourappname-app.xml
i changed it from auto - with auto on i have 60/60 fps - when i switched to gpu i get 20/60 fps and app starts to lagg.
i tested it on exported ipa's installed via itunes, test whas made on iphone 4s
what may be the cause of this? at what point is the gpu power for air mobile apps?
any advice? should i switch to air 3.5?

Hi,
if you have vector graphics changing into GPU can, as you say, make it slower.
If you want to improve performance with GPU mode you should try to change all the vector graphics into bitmaps. Also, change render mode to low helps.
I recommend you to google for adobe air performances. There is a LOT of information out there and you'll need to face every different case one by one depending your code and SWC.

Photoshop CS6, Windows 8 and crazy GPU behavoir

Hi!
I just installed windows 8 and i got a lot of problems with CS6 Extended (Design and web premium creative suite installed) and GPU use (i never had a problem under windows 7).
My sistem is updated and equipped with a I7, 8 GB RAM and a Radeon HD 5870 card and i'm working winth Canon EOS 1Dx and EOS 5D mkIII raw files (but the problems appear also with snall jpg)
When PS use the GPU acceleration the display becone crazy showing a lot of different things.
This is the first list of things appening:
A) very often (about 95% of times) when i use the crop tool the image start to flicker from visible to black ( http://www.asf-images.com/ps1.jpg ) so it is impossible to work; sometimes (50% of times) images become visible again moving the mouse to a different location and after moving again the mouse the images fade to black and so on... frustrating.
B) cropping become very slow
C) during crop images a big distorsion appear ( http://www.asf-images.com/ps2.jpg)
D) sometimes during crop or changing the GPU setting the border outside the image become filled of gray/white little square as a trasparent layer (http://www.asf-images.com/ps4.jpg)
E) after canceling the crop tool action (using the cancel button in the Option tool bar) the image fade to black (http://www.asf-images.com/ps5.jpg )
This appens also with blur tool, liquify and all that use the mercury engine.
Changing GPU drawing mode from normal to basic or advanced all works but after closing and reopening PS problems are still visible
Sometimes the graphic card GPU disapper (http://www.asf-images.com/ps3.jpg)
Pleae, Help!!!
Last: sorry for my english :-)

Hm, maybe the manufacturers of the products ought to be the ones to "blaze through" the problems before the products are released.
Gee, what a concept - Microsoft, AMD, and Adobe all working together with the pre-release versions so that the released version actually works for users.
I believe that Chris Cox worked on trying to get AMD and Microsoft to include proper and working drivers for the Windows 8 release. But apparently that input wasn't enough to get the job done, becuase in these modern times greedy businessmen always push to release software products before they're finished. It can always be fixed later through the "cloud", right? Sheesh.
But even beyond that, there has been an important shift: Microsoft no longer considers it a high priority that you should actually be able to WORK with Windows. Their focus has shifted from powering business to powering toys (consumer tablets, that sort of thing). As such, they care most about the applications that they'll be selling in their shiny new App Store, and almost not at all whether you and your desktop applications work. Thus the very basis for the philosophy "Microsoft released it, it must be worth having" is now suspect.
Some of that can be mitigated. I've been running Windows 8 for a year now, and I've had my Windows 8 book done and on sale well before the public release. Some folks have taken advantage of it and have had a much smoother experience, but I can't document around software that just doesn't work.
As it is, my best advice was and remains this: Watch and wait while other poor users blaze through the problems.
I sound like a helluva skeptic, don't I? But I'm really an early adopter technophile who has been around since before there ever was a Microsoft. That should help you understand the weight of my statement above.

But this doesn't solve all my problems.
I'm still searching for a way of how to use the internal intel sound card as default PCM device if the USB sound is unplugged or not available during boot.
Any ideas?

MSI GT70 0ND-219US Bios settings for fastest cpu, and maybe gpu performance?

What is the best BIOS's settings (I have the unlocked BIOS)
For overclock cpu on startup and GPU

Honestly? Stock. There's little to no performance gain overall for the CPU.
You can't change the GPU performance from the BIOS.
If you're asking these types of questions, you're probably better off not changing anything without doing a TON of research first. There's plenty of website out there that detail what you can do, and why, and how it really isn't very effective (especially in the mobile space) just because you can't increase it as much as you can on the desktop space (in some cases).
Unless you have upgraded the CPU from the 3610 that was originally installed in your laptop, overclocking is really pointless.

Cannot find right display driver after GPU replacement on Satellite P200

I received my Notebook yesterday from the service center, because my graphic card was damaged.
Now I can start the notebook, but in the hardware manager is only an entry for the VGA Card, the new card, which should be in the Notebook, the manager cannot find.
I tried to find it with plug and play but without any results.
The system find only the VGA... After that I tried it with a catalytic driver from ATI 8.9. But after install it also don't work (I restarted the NB)
Maybe I use the wrong driver from ATI, but I cannot find an entry for Mobility Radeon 2600 HD.
Only Radeon 2600 Hd. I am not sure; did this driver work also for mobility?
Can you give me a link for the right driver?

Hi
First of all it would be interesting to know what notebook series you have.
Secondly are you sure that another graphic chip was used?
Are you sure that this is a Mobility Radeon 2600 HD graphic card?
If you are not 100% sure I would recommend contacting the technician who changed the GPU and to ask for some details; what GPU chip was used and where to get the driver.
I would appreciate some feedback from you!

Changed GPUs, cant export HD without crashing

Hi everyone,
I recently changed my GPU from a GT240 1gb to a GTX760 4gb Gigabyte. Since the change I have not been able to export high definition video w/o the system crashing a few seconds into the export.
So far I have tried doing a real clean install of the new nVidia drivers, but that has not changed anything.
Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5
AMD motherboard
1055t CPU O/C w/ cooler
650W power
16 GBs ram
Basically, I'm trying to figure out if there is a problem with the system, or if there is a technical problem with the card that would require a replacement.
Thanks,
Jed

How much power does that card (and the rest of your system) draw from the power supply?
Use the Power supply calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp (the PRO version has more options) to determine your power supply needs

Can i upgrade GPU?

GE60 0ND with GTX660m. Can i change/upgrade GPU? Since i cant run anything except LoL....

Thanks man

G505s gpu question

I just wanted to know if it's possible to change the gpu in my laptop. It has just terrible gaming performance and has the same cpu as the MSI gx70(which performs quite like a beast). So i want to change my gpu.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi elton305,
In addition to what Solid_Cruver have mentioned, by looking at the parts, the G505s's GPU is soldered on the motherboard.
- Link to picture
It's possible to change this GPU but you may only change it with the same part (only professional reballing service centers does this). If you wanna upgrade the GPU, you will need to also change the motherboard (which isn't really practical).
If the lenovo unit doesn't give decent FPS while gaming, I think it would be best to invest on a new system rather than upgrading the GPU (you may opt to keep the Lenovo unit or sell it to cover the cost of your new rig).

Replacing GPU or the CPU

My question: is it possible if done by professional to change only GPU in MacBook early 2008 without replacing the whole CPU ( I guess this is what they call "logic board") or is replacing of GPU equall to replacing CPU (logic board)

No, if you want to upgrade the CPU or GPU you need to replace the computer. Even if you could the cost would probably not justify it on a 3 year old machine.

Replacing GPU & PSU

Hi, If your PC has an external power brick then you can't update the PC with an internal power supply. The specifications for your PC do indicate an external powr brick.

I plan on changing the GPU to a MSI GTX 960 2G and the PSU EVGA 500w 80+ Bronze. I'm just worried I might run into issues with the GPU's size and overall compatibility. Also to let you know, its my first time planning on changing a PC's components. I have a friend who will be able to put the PC parts together. This is the PC I have right now: http://www.costco.ca/HP-Pavilion-500-509C-PC,-Bilingual-Desktop,-i5-4590.product.100157504.html
