hey guys from past few days i am having problems with my dedicated gpu raedon hd 7670m .about 2 weeks ago it was working properly but now it has started giving problems when i am playing games random black lines are appearing on onscreen, graphics are degrading,when taking benchmark test the software of benchmark is not detecting the dedicated gpu the games which were supposed to run on high settiings are know lagging ,i am using hp pavalion g6, product number
C9L68PA#ACJ
the solutions i tried
unistalling and re installing new drivers and recovering my notebook to previous dates
and THE graphic card imformation tools are giving such wierd details,showing memory type as hyper memory when it is actually a gddr5 and clock speed as 0 mhz so please please i want some possible solutions

Msi z68ma-ed5 dedicated gpu problem

can anyone tel me if there is any way to get my hd6950 work on my mainboard??
my system spec are

hdd wd 320GB 16mbcache
Intel core i7 2600k
msi z68ma-ed55
problem is i don't think my pcie slot is working cause i did reinstall windows 7 twice one time 64bit other 32bit...,but still it doesn't read it at all after downloading 64bit driver and 32 .,when i try to install it it does not recognize it in eighter way 64 or 32 bit
one thing i didn't try yet is to put my gpu on lower pcie slot! since i have only that card on pice slot will it work on x16 bandwith?that is if that one work either..

If you have just 1 known working ram mod installed, the vga works in each slot except for the top slot, don't see much around damage to the board Stick around a bit someone else may have some other ideas
You can perhaps try a different pcie card of some type in slot 1 to see if that is seen, but you should be able to take care of the rma through mail.

Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 not detecting my dedicated GPU

When I open Photoshop, I get the following error message:
"3D features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system.
Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue."
I am running a laptop PC with an integrated graphics card (Intel HD4600) and a dedicated Nvidia GTX 675M with 2 GB of vRAM.
I switch between the two adapters with the press of a single button, for power-saving purposes.
I always run at high-performance with the dedicated GPU active when running Photoshop.
I run the latest driver from Nvidia, and in the Nvidia control panel I manually set the preferences for Photoshop to utilize the dedicated GPU. But it still does not detect my main graphics adapter.
I checked the system information in Photoshop and cannot make sense of it. Why would it be unable to detect the GPU when every GPU demanding software I have run so far (a lot) have been able to..
I have checked google and the very forums and found the problem in various forms with no real solution for it so far. Hopefully someone on these forums can help, considering I am paying a monthly fee for the program and the support that comes with it
First part of System Information in case it can be useful:

Thanks for the quick response!
But as mentioned in my initial post, I deactivate the integrated graphics adapter when using Photoshop, or any software that demands decent graphical processing power.
I only have it activated when in power-saving mode. And of course I update to the newest display drivers via the GeForce Experience or through their website.
Point is, I have never had any problems with any software whatsoever in detecting the proper GPU and utilizing it's power. The only software unable to register my dedicated video card is Photoshop.

How do you check your dedicated GPU is working?

How do you check your dedicated GPU is working?
Some strange things have been happening since my MBP (2009, SSD, 8GB, 17") was updated to Lion:
1. Icon images load slower than usual, e.g when opening the applications folder the images take a fraction longer than would be normal
2. If re-naming a folder, you see the new title, then the old one, then it switched back to the new one.
3. When playing HD video, or rapid desktop switching the picture looks split in two.
I checked that my GPU was on dedicated, but it had changed back to Intel integrated? Then a re-start and I checked it was on dedicated GPU, which it was BUT the above problems still remain.
Plugged in a 24" LED Display via display port and it does not come on - only the USB ports work. Does a display need a dedicated GPU to work?
Zapped Parameter Ram, rebuild permissions, and reset SMC all to no avail. Techtools pro 6.0 finds both cards but can't check them. I assume its not Lion compatible yet?
MBP is still under Apple Care, but I want to know if I can identify the problem is the NVIDA GPU. But how?

How to make a Mac use dedicated GPU in Windows

So I have this problem: when I launch games through Boot Camp on my late 2013 15 rmbp, I occasionally run into lags and frame drops in various games. The thing is, sometimes the same games run perfectly smooth with a decent frame rate, and sometimes the lags are so bad that it's almost impossible to play.
This makes me think that my Macbook is using the integrated Iris Pro gpu instead of dedicated 750m. So my question is, how can I force Windows to use dedicated graphics in games? In NVidia control panel, there's no option like Dynamic swithing.
P.S. I just reinstalled Boot Camp drivers using the WININSTALL drive, and checked NVidia website for updates

Furthermore, Boot Camp only uses the dedicated GPU because of problems related to GPU switching, so this is not the problem. Anyway, you can check which GPU Windows is using > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/video-cards-faq#1TC=windows-7
Have you checked if there is any app open while you are playing games and they do not run as smooth as you want to?

Confused Between Buying 15" rMBP with Dedicated GPU or Integrated ?

Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy my first ever Retina Macbook Pro 15 Inch. And I need some suggestions, It is my first ever Mac Book in my life so I am pretty excited and anxious about it. But I am in a dilemma should I go for the Dedicated Graphic Card Model or Should I go for the Integrated Graphic Model. No, It is not for the Extra Storage Space on the SSD that I am contemplating to buy the Dedicated Graphic Card Model but more for the Dedicated Graphic Card.
I am gonna be using this for my Personal Use Heavy Web Surfing, Lots of Flash Video watching, Movies, Music, Occasional Gaming (I am not a Gaming Freak) But I do occasionally like to play some most talked about, popular game so I don’t want my machine to restrain me for any reason. So this is my Requirement.
Now I have heard stories about the Dedicated GPU Model which is not good as in firstly I will tell you what my experience is I used to have a Sony Vaio till sometime back with a NVIDIA Dedicated 128 MB Graphic Card, after using it well for 5 and half years one fine day it failed, and subsequently it also corrupted the Display and wont let the OS Boot up. When I took it to the service guys they said, this is a very common phenomenon that we are coming across with Machine which Have NVIDIA Graphic Cards, apparently they seem to be running some problems NVIDIA doesn’t seem to making it well in terms of longevity. Steer Clear from Machines which use it. So what even if it is the Famous Macbook.
If I am spending this amount of money I am atleast looking for the MAC to be going for till about atleast 6-7 Years. And there is where my apprehension comes in the words of my service guys that Please stay away from NVIDIA Enabled Machine if you can.
I have heard some guys tell me that well, even though modern GPUs run much cooler than before. It's just that there's been a lot of failures with dedicated GPUs in the past and there have been seldom a failure with integrated graphics. If you want your machine to last a long time, We would recommend the Iris Pro one over the 750M one. You don't need to spend the extra on the 750M model. It's not going to benefit you. For most things, the Iris Pro performs the same as the 750M.
As far as gaming is concerned, one can play any game the 750M can, but may have to lower a couple of settings for some of them. If the DGPU failed, it would do exactly what happened with the Vaio. No reason really to assume that's going to happen but it is very much possible with a DGPU Model. The Iris Pro model is far less likely to fail in that way.
Before Iris Pro, One would have been against Intel graphics as they were too slow. Iris Pro is the first Intel graphics chip to hold up against dedicated GPUs.
It's important to remember that some of the NVidia GPUs from 2008 were defective, mostly the 8600M but some 9600M too. If you have a Retina Macbook Pro with a dedicated GPU, that's more likely to be problematic than Intel's integrated graphics. There have been hardly any issues with integrated graphics chips dying
Dedicated GPUs tend to be more powerful but they've always been less reliable. That's not to say they all fail, they just happen to have a higher rate of failure.
8600M, 9600M, 6970M, 6750M, 6490M, X1900XT, X1600, I think some old 7500 or 9200 too, all had issues.
I've never heard of an integrated graphics failure.
In the near future, Integrated graphics would be a better option for most people. Iris Pro is very close to the 650M/750M.
These are the comments that I have heard so far about the DGPU model Peter ? What do you guys think ? what would you guys advise me ?
Thanks !

Graphically intensive applications such as games. Some applications will turn it on just to improve graphic performance such as iPhoto. Having a dedicated card will have a higher resale value just because it has more hardware and better specs because of the additional card.

GPU Problems with my GT60 2OC-024US

Hi guys!
A couple of days ago, I opened up my GT60 to add a new SSD I bought and, since I was opening it up, I also repasted the GPU and CPU. It was the first time I was doing it on this computer, but its not the first time I do a repasting on a pc. So, everything went smoothly, changed the paste, put the heatsink back in place, and then, when I tried to boot the PC, it got stuck after posting, like waiting from a response from the GPU I guess...
Tried a couple of reboots and nothing worked, so then i proceeded to enter in safe mode to check if it was only a GPU problem and it was. With the integrated graphics i was able to uninstall NVIDIA drivers and then, voilá, I booted normally without problems, EXCEPT, of course, I cant use the dedicated gpu.
Already tried all kinds of drivers, tried opening it up again, repasting, reconnecting the GPU, and nothing works. As soon as the OS tries to use the dedicated GPU (after I install NVIDIA's drivers) the same problem appears. So it seems something has happened with it.
Any ideas or insight on this? I don't know how to proceed. I bought the notebook on the USA but I live in Argentina and i'm not sure if there's official RMA or something around here.
Thanks a lot!

Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 GPU problem

Hi to evreyone! So recently I bought a brand new Lenovo Z710 (i7-4700mq, intel hd 4600 and nvidia gt745m). I then installed windows 8.1 (genuine) and all the drivers on the cd that came with the machine. But it seems there is a big problem with the graphics card. Nvidia gt745 seems like its not there. The Geforce Experience and nvidia control panel fail to recognize it, although it's there on Windows Driver Manager.When I try to load a game (WOW) it crashes on the loading screen. "Display driver has stopped responding..." bubble appears and a minute or so afterwards, there is a bsod. The game works on the integrated card (intel hd 4600) when nvidia is disabled or its driver is uninstalled.
I tried reinstalling the drivers, downloading and installing the recent ones, removing all graphic drivers and reintalling them in different order, tried safe mode, changed some bios settings, but still nothing happened.Could this be any kind of driver compatibility issue or simply a windows thing, or is it a hardware problem? Could the nvidia be faulty or the laptop itself? I want to try anything before turning it back to where I bought it for a look... So your ideas will be vastly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the reply! I've managed to solve it, after playing with the drivers for around 2-3 days. There was some kind of incompatibility between the integrated gpu driver (intel hd) and nvidia. I gave up to this thread, because there was no movement. What I did and worked is the following procedure: I completely wiped out every gpu driver, then installed the newest nvidia driver (careful, only the driver, and via Windows driver manager, not the nvidia's .exe installer). After that, I installed the intel hd driver (this time the full .exe installer) and then, I used the nvidia installer to install all its other components (you cannot use the nvidia's .exe installer without the integrated driver already installed). I hope these make sense, but that's how I fixed it. Anyway, I don't know what kind your problem is exactly (Is your laptop new? Have you upgraded or changed any driver recently? Can you play any other games?) but mine had nothing to do with WoW. Whatever settings I used, the result was always a crash. Now everything is ok and the game runs smoothly. It felt like Windows knew that there was a dedicated gpu, but couldn't access it.

MSI gs70 dedicated gpu

Hello everyone,
I have some trouble issues with my gpu. My system is all the time running on the nVidia gpu, instead of integrated intel. Even if I do not use software requiring high performance. The problem is, it eats my battery very fast. I had no problem like a week ago. When I turned on some game or something like that, nvidia just turned on. When I finished gaming, nVidia just went off and intel turned on. Today this does not seem to work. How did I detect the nvidia is on ? On my notebook the powerbutton glow white color while integrated gpu is on, and orange color while dedicated gpu is on. I tried everything. I set integrated intel as prefered gpu in nvidia control panel, but nothing happened. I tried to set intel as prefered in every single installed program, but it did not help. I do not know what to do. Please help.

Orange light is not bugged. Last time I have running integrated gpu, battery lastet for 4 to 5 hours. Now, it can last max for 2 hours. I know integrated gpu is on for sure. I bought this laptop without OS, so I did installation of windows on my own. Everything seem to work like for one week. Then I turned some game on, and when I turned game off, the dedicated gpu was still active. The problem is, it was active even after restarting of computer. It seemed to be set to activate at the startup. About mounth later I was forced to reinstall OS because of some other reason. I reinstalled windows and everything was working again, until I turned some game. Since then dedicated gpu is on all the time. I want to know if there exist some possible fix. Reinstalling system is not a solution since I cannot start any game, unless this problem occur. I really do not know how to fix this. Reinstalling everything is just temporary solution.

AE CS6 crashes at startup - indicating GPU problem

Hi,
I am new to the Abobe suite. Using a MacPro running 10.7 Lion, Intel based processors. Using a Radeon ATI 6xxx video card (2 monitors connected via mini-display, HDMI not used at the moment). Installed AE properly (support desk Adobe verified this remotely). AE CS6 is crashing at startup, indicating a GPU problem. Support desk Adobe has advised to contact 'the Mac guys' in order to see if an update to the video card driver might resolve the issue. Mac support is confirming my system to be fully up to date. From other topics on this forum I noticed more people are suffering (or have suffered) the same problem. However I haven't seen any firm/clear resolution to this problem.
Can anyone tell me (in simple language) what I can do in order to get this configuration to work (ideally without having to replace my Graphics Card - as I believe it is a rather new model that I would expect to be supported)?
Thanks in advance,
Marcel

Has the Asus G71GX-RX05 GPU problem been fixed?

Has the Asus G71GX-RX05 GPU problem been fixed? And if so what do you have to do to fix it.

hi vanhelsing.
i know that asus was working on an updated BIOS to fix the GPU issue, and according to the last post in this thread on the asus support forums (http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20090627114124765&board_id=3&model=G71Gx(BestBuy)&SLanguage=e...), rev. 1201 seems to have done the trick.
i checked the asus support website (http://support.asus.com), and i found that there is an even new version of the BIOS - rev. 1302. i would recommend moving to this BIOS upon unboxing your G71GX.
i have updated the BIOS on both notebooks and desktops before, and the process is fairly painless. i found this link off the asus support site (http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/technicaldocuments.aspx?root=198&SLanguage=en-us), and it describes how to update the BIOS. i would recommend having a conversation with your local geek squad if you're not comfortable doing the process yourself.

G770 Dedicated GPU not being recognized

Hi,
So I've had my G770 for a little over 2 years. Just a few months ago, my AMD radeon graphics stopped working. Because of this, I got a complete wipe of the system and am now trying to install all the drivers again. Everything is working perfectly but the AMD Radeon Graphics card is just not installing. I have downloaded the latest drivers and when I go to install it, it seems to install. However, the installation process goes by too quickly (funny, I know) and then it says there were some warnings in the log (there weren't).
I just want to be able to use my dedicated GPU again, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

as you can see down in the picture, the application wow.exe has been set to high performance so it should be using the dedicated card, my laptop thought something else apparently.http://i.imgur.com/3SGJeO7.jpg

Backlight AND GPU Problems? ARGHHHH

Even though my iBook G3 800 MHz has been having the flickering screen, lines, and freezes common of the GPU problem for about 6 months, it's been tolerable. I just told myself as soon as I couldn't deal with it, I'd send it in. Well, I wouldn't be posting this right now, if my backlight hadn't gone out. I opened it up, and it looks to me like it's the "pinched inverter cable" problem. So, I guess it's time to send it in. Problem is, I don't have the money to send it to Apple, but I really don't think I'm handy enough to fix it myself.
My question is, does anyone know a reputable website or company that would fix this sort of thing (I actully can live with the GPU problem, they don't need to fix that) cheaper then Apple?
Thanks in advance

You may want to try DT & T Computer Services, but don't go halfway with it. Have them fix it completely or don't even bother sending it in. Why? Because one week after you get it back, that logic board could quit on you completely. Mine got so I could only use it 20 minutes a day.
If you ask, they may give you a discount on fixing the cable/logic board problem at the same time, since they only have to open it once. You could ask (I would.)
Good luck.

Auto deactivate dedicated GPU

How do i set up the dedicated GPU to start only when the laptop needs more graphic power?Last night happened something like this and my laptop was very chill during web browsing or watching a movie. It stayed at 35 degree celsius (95 f) and the SpeedFan program showed me that the dedicated GPU is deactivated and it automatically turned on when a entered a game and deactivate after I close it. But today, it doesn't happen the same. My laptop has 68 degrees (154 f) and the fan's speed is pretty high. It might be a noob question, but it's my first laptop and I only have it fore a few days. (i'm not a native english speaker, so sorry for my eventualy mistakes)

I solved it somehow... from device manager i disabled the dedicated GPU and than enabled it back. After that, the fan slowed down, and the temperatures got low. so, now i have a sollution but can somebody explain me what happened?

Gx70 is not using its dedicated gpu

Hello everyone,
A week ago i bought a msi gx70, it al works perfect except for one thing. When i start a game, the laptop is not using its dedicated gpu (amd hd 8970) but the gpu integrated in the processor ( amd 89650 )
I've tried a lot of stuff to fix this, like disabling the onboard gpu. When i disable the onboard gpu, the pc start using a microsoft basic render drive. I also tried to uninstalll both cards and reinstall them, not working. tried going into the bios, but there is now option for me to disable the onboard gpu there.
So please, i need help because it's getting pretty frustrating.
Thanks in advance!

OP, please let us know if those worked or not. So that we can eiher continue to help, or if it worked reply with what you did to fix the matter. So that any other users experiencing the same issue, reading this, will know what to do.
I will, but for the moment i can't :p
I gave it back to the shop to see if they can fix it and my laptop suddenly black screened after i updated the drivers. So i hope they can find some drivers where i can just manually disable the integrated gpu.
Also, when i was playing games the power button was orange if i remember correctly, but the game was still very laggy (about 40fps on smite, which is too low for this card) and in black ops ll the fps was really unstable (immense drops from 120 to 30) i think this also shouldn't be happening with this card right? And in games where you CAN manually pick the gpu, the dedicated one was just not given as an option. Also in benchmarks the dedicated card was noticed by the benchmark, but not used for some reason (having 20fps in a benchmark with this card at medium settings).
All this concludes for me that the dedicated gpu was not processing when ingame.
This is all the information i've gathered, if you have any other thoughts of what it could be, feel free to give them.
