Dual graphic options with AMD A8-4555m+RADEON HD 7600G

Hi,
New HP user here, I had a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b153cl for a couple of months, enjoyed it so far. I have read reports on better game dev support for AMD crossfire recently. I'd like to know what upgrade options are there. From what I have learned so far, Radeon HD 8550M is available for a very similar notebook 15-b105la.
Soldering is not a problem, but I am more concerned about motherboard capability, voltage, frequency, heat...
The laptop is working well, and the upgrade is not top priority(causal gamer, sorry if I offended other"causal gamers").I think a notebook with the a touchscreen and window 8(Yes, its a plus for me) deserves a little bit more power.
Any input will be appreciated and hopefully the discussion will benefit more user here.
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
They use 2 different mother/system boards as shown:

You have to buy new motherboard or in short new machine. Normally we have to make decision before buying a laptop. Changing HDD, adding RAM or sometimes CPU but only a very, very, very small % of laptops which allow users to upgrade video card.

Switchable Graphics Options Missing

Prouct: HP Pavilion g6-2307tx
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)Product Number: D4B15PA
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000/Radeon HD Graphics 7670M
Hi. I need some help or instructions about my situation. I have a problem looking for the switchable graphics options for my laptop. The original OS of this is Windows 8 64-bit. I changed my OS into Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. After installing the drivers needed for my laptop, I noticed the Configure Switchable Graphics options is missing, even the AMD Catalyst Control Center. I installed both drivers succesfully after the Windows 7 installation, but the graphics options for AMD is missing. I tried to update my AMD driver by installing the latest driver, Catalyst Software Suite via Autodetect Utility, but after installing it, my laptop display became large, and the "Configure Switchable Graphics" option stated that the driver I installed is not compatible with my laptop. I opened System Restore to revert back to a point where I haven't installed it yet. I am unsure if I must install the AMD driver that I found here in HP drivers. If someone knows how I can reinstall the driver my system need, I would be grateful.
Thanks,
RD18

Hi: Because your notebook has the switchable graphics, the only graphics driver you can use is the HP one. I do not believe HP has linked the correct AMD/Intel switchable graphics driver to your notebook's support and driver page. Uninstall any graphics drivers you have previously installed and reboot...but instead, try this one from the g6t-2000. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp58894.exe

Need Help With AMD Radeon HD 8750M + HD 8000 Series Dual Graphics

I recently purchased the ENVY 15z-j000 and upgraded it with the AMD Radeon HD 8750M + HD 8000 Series Dual Graphics. I wanted the dedicated HD 8750M for playing games and whatnot. When I first opend up my new laptop, I performed a clean install of Windows 8 from a USB drive. This completely wiped all of the preinstalld HP drivers, software, etc.
I installed the beta drivers for my laptop from AMD's website. Here is my issue. How do I know my dedicated video card is working properly? I ran some games and they seemed to do fine. But when I checked my system with CPUz and dxdialog it said I was running the integrated graphics. How does dual graphics work and how do I make sure I am taking advantage of my dedicated card. An in depth explination and how to for using the AMD dual graphics solution would be apprechiated.
This question was solved.

I'm no expert on Switchable Graphics, but you may find the answers to your questions in Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs or Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Dual AMD GPUs. Be forewarned though, the documents were written for HP PC's using the appropriate HP drivers, if you are using Beta drivers from AMD, then the documents may not match what you see on your system.

thank you

Hello esignshop,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand that your notebook computer is behaving slowly after a month of use, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since the processor on your notebook is integrated into the motherboard, I recommend following this document on Improving System Performance without Adding Memory (Windows 8). This should help improve the speed and efficiency of your computer's system without having to replace the entire motherboard with the processor.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Satellite C850D-B600 - troubles with AMD Radeon HD 7310 Graphics

Hi,
I have laptop Toshiba Satellite C850D-B600 with AMD Dual-Core Processor E1-1200 CPU with AMD Radeon™ HD 7310 Graphics
I tried the last version in the official site and I tried AMD Official Site and I got massage says (the version of your graphics adapter is not supported) and when I tried to install Toshiba driver the graphic card does not work too.
When I tried to open AMD vision engine control centre I got this massage says (AMD vision engine control center cannot be started there are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD vision engine control center).
Please could you help me :(

Hi
May I ask you what system did you install and what driver did you try to install from Toshiba driver page?
It seems that this notebook Satellite C850D-B600 was released without any preinstalled Windows system and therefore it would be useful to know what system you are using.
You should also know that the Radeon HD 7310 graphic is a part of CPU. Yes, this is not external graphic unit but its intergraded in CPU.
Regarding the AMD vision engine control center
>AMD vision engine control center cannot be started there are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD vision engine control center
The AMD Vision Control Center offers additional CPU monitoring options from within the Control Center. I think the above message appears because there are no settings which could be configured. But this does not mean that the driver would not work.

AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics and lower WEI score... and keyboard "softness"

HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
16GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics
Hello I just purchased this machine. Given are the basic specs. Why would the AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics score a 5.9 on the WEI when my two year old hp with an A8-3500 with the 6620G + 6750M scored a 6.5.. I am wondering if this new machine is actually graphically slower. Any Advice?
Second question: Is it normal for the envy to have a soft spot in the keyboard where you have visible flex. while pressing the W, S, A, D, E there is visible deformation. All the other keys seem solid.
I am debating returning this machine already. Any help.

Are you comparing WEI scores from the same OS??? That is Windows 7 to Windows 7... Windows 8 to Window 8... or Windows 8 to Window 7???
Comparing scores generated by different generations of Windows doesn't mean anything. Notice that the scale on Windows 7 runs from 1 to 7.9 and Windows 8 runs from 1 to 9.9 . Notice that the graphics scores for both 2D and 3D graphics are lower on Windows 8. Windows Vista, 7, and 8 all use different parameters to determine the scores.
Also, the architecture of the APUs has changed a little of the past couple of generations. And an 8750M and 6750M are basically the same GPU, so the scores should be roughly the same when using the same driver and OS for a comparision.

Any problem with AMD Radeon or FirePro graphic cards?

Hi.
I know that Adobe recommend Nvidia cards for SpeedGrade, but I ask to owners of AMD cards if they have found any problems with AMD cards: bad performance, not realtime with relatively few layers, etc, etc
Which is your experience?
Thanks.

FWIW: I'm using a AMD Radeon HD 6750M (1GB RAM) on my Mac Book Pro. So far it performs fine, in some cases it even feels faster than the Quadro 4000 in my Mac Pro, but I think that has more to do with the type of projects. Mostly doing DSLR on the MBP and R3D on the Mac Pro.

AMD Radeon (TM) HD 7450M Graphics Compatibility with Windows 8.1

Hello, I have a upgraded my windows 8 pro to windows 8.1 pro via windows store but after upgrading my AMD ATI Configure Switching Graphics doesn't worked and it failed to set the application on graphics setting and showed it locked especiallymedia players like "windows media player" and "vlc" and it crashed numerously when ever I opened it. I tried to download AMD graphics driver from AMD site and from windows update but it didn't worked. Before upgrading to windows 8.1 , everything (graphics drivers) working fine in windows 8. Actually I wanted to upgrade to windows 10 that's why I upgraded it to windows 8.1. Any help will be appreciated. Model: hp pavilion g6 1302tx Thanks.

Question re: AMD dual graphics driver support

Hi, first time poster
I'm interested in the G505s with Radeon HD 8650G + HD 8570M dual graphics. However, from my research it seems that dual graphics is largely useless, at least with laptops currently. NotebookCheck .com says it brings benefit only if the games support it, and can even be detrimental.
Is this accurate? Another forum said that it was of use only if the laptop maker (i.e. Lenovo) updated drivers to support it. One poster said this happens very seldom. Again, is this accurate?
In a nutshell: is the Radeon HD 8650G + HD 8570M setup benefitless?
Thanks in advance

Same problem here with HP Pavilion 15 n201axPrevious it showed 2 drivers in the Display Adapter sectionas - >>AMD Radeon HD 7620G+ AMD Radeon HD 8600Mand >>AMD Radeon HD 8600M I tried different versions of Catalyst but now it just shows AMD Radeon HD 7620G and after rebooting, it comes up with an asterisk markI Dont even even the options of Configuring the graphics card when i right click on desktop.It just shows the AMD Catalyst Control Center which brings up options only for the processor.This is seriously getting annoying!

Does HP Pavilion p7-1154 support AMD Dual Graphics?

I have a Pavilion p7-1154 - Serial no.{Removed for privacy} - The motherboard is an AAHD3-HB (stock MB) made by Pegatron. I have upgraded the stock RAM from 6 GB of 1333 to 16 GB of Corsair Vengence 1600 and upgraded the processor from an AMD A6 3600 to an AMD A8 3850, all according to the upgrade guide for this machine from HP. I've also upgraded the PSU from the stock 300w to a Corsair 500w 80Plus Bronze certified PSU.
Now that's what I'done so far - what I want to know is does the MB (AAHD3-HB) support AMD Dual Graphics, using the suggested graphics cards, I would like to use a Radeon 6670 GPU.

Mike, after consulting with other members, I believe that dual graphis is not available since it is not noted in the specs.
However, here is a Youtube video about the CPU. If you do find that you were able to use it by a BIOS change, please share that information with the forum. Thanks!

Hi ashwani26596,
Let's start by using the HP Support Assistant to check for any updates and drivers to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't work then go your Control Panel and then Programs and Features and uninstall the Catalyst Control Center. Then try installing both the Intel High-Definition Audio Driver and the AMD High-Definition Audio Driver.

HP Pavilion p6-2155a (64bit, running Win8.0)- Problem with AMD Radeon HD7450

Hi,
Have noticed various posts re problems with AMD Radeon HD7450.
For several months, I've had problems with my "video hardware causing Windows to stop working correctly". Until yesterday, this was more of a nuisance than a real problem (so I thought). Yesterday, I had my first BSOD, caused by video_scheduler_internal_error.
Today, I downloaded sp59360.exe & installed, as suggested by the HP website. On checking the Device Manager, this driver appears to be older (Version 8.982.10.0, Date 28.8.12) than the one I had previously (Version 8.982.10.6000, Date 18.9.12).
About 30 minutes ago, while away from my computer, I think I had another "video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly".
Have I done the right thing in installing sp59360.exe? Should I roll-back to the previous driver? What is causing my problems? Is it possibly a faulty card?

Hello @Mazza52,
I understand that you are getting a BSOD error related to your graphics card and are seeking assistance. As you have tried multiple drivers and are still getting the BSOD I think we should do a backup and recovery of your computer to rule out software as being an issue.
To backup your personal information and ensure that it is not lost I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), which will ensure your personal files are up to date.
***WARNING!! If you want to keep any emails or bookmarks/favorites you will want to back those up as well as I do not believe they are backed up in the HP Backup process.
Next, I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will you through recovering your computer back to factory settings.
*** IMPORTANT - Your personal files such as libraries, personalization settings, user accounts, and desktop themes are permanently removed. As well the computer settings are returned to the defaults (the way it was when it came from the factory). All apps and software that were installed on the computer when it came from the factory are reinstalled, and their settings are reset to the defaults. Additionally, software, apps, programs, and everything that you have installed or saved on the computer are permanently removed.
If after this you still have the same problem then the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
As for the drivers you installed and had installed the Version 8.982.10.6000 driver from what I can see is for Notebook computers and just happened to work for you the driver Version 8.982.10.0 is the one you should have installed.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
