G570 graphics cards...

I was having problems with my graphics cards, getting errors so I uninstalled them.
after just reinstalling my intel Hd one, I did a quick windows experience test & have now got a score of 5.9.
Before I had a score of 5.0
Please can you explain to be the dual gfx cards in this machine.
I have the ATI one & the Intel one.
Which is the better card? I thought before that the ATI one was the more powerful, now Im just running the Intel one, im not so sure re the score.
Im guessing one is for battery life, the other is power.
Im not interested in battery life  as I use it plugged in mostly.
Im currently downloading the ATI software from the lenovo support site, but it is going VERY slow.
When I tried from the ati site, using auto detect etc, it said it wasnt possible with this hardware.
confused???
please advise

you may get different scores due to drivers. if you have the latest driver for both, the score may change.
please, try to download/update the drivers from lenovo first.
(if it still takes long to download, you can try to download a little bit later )

  • Lenovo g570 graphics gard problem

    Hello
    i have a problem with my graphics card on my lenovo G570 laptop
    everytime i try to start P.E.S 2013 is saysmy computer doesnt meet the requirementto run this software
    i mean look at my deicated memory its only 64 MB this is annoying
    i tried all the drivers on lenovo site 
    i need a to fix this please

    hi mostafa-tarek,
    Im sorry to hear about your concern..
      Unfortunately this isnot possible.
         The Graphics memory on an Integrated Video card Like this one is sharing the memory from the RAM.
    The shared Graphics memory can be increased by increasing the RAM, but this will not make a huge impact. It may increase like 5 more mb's.
    The way the Amount of memory shared to the graphics is preconfigured and is hard coded to the Motherboard.
    Regards
    Solid Cruver

  • Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
    My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
    And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
    If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

  • Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

    I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
    Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
    Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M. 
    So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics? 
    If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
    My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.

    Hi,
    You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink. 
    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
    You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

    You're very welcome.
    I am not a PC repair tech by trade or training.
    Other than the replacement motherboard, and fan and heatsink combination, I wouldn't know if any other parts are required.
    The parts you need are listed in chapter 3 of the service manual with the part numbers.
    I also don't know if the boards come with the windows 8 product key included in the BIOS.
    There may be multiple motherboards listed, so make sure you get the right one.
    Same for the fan and heatsink.

  • How to backup files onto external hard drive if my MacBook's graphics card is broken?

    Hello,
    I have a 15" 2012 Macbook pro with 2gb of ram, i7 processor, and a 250 gb Hard drive. In the middle of using my computer, the screen went black. Upon rebooting the computer, I noticed gray and white horizontal lines running across the screen, but I was still able to see the apple logo and loading indicator in the background. As soon as the login screen appeared, the screen went black again.
    Genius Bar Diagnosis:
    A few days later I took my computer to the apple store to have them diagnose the computer to determine if the hard drive was corrupt or if it was just a display issue. They found that the hard drive was still functioning properly, so no information was lost. The problem was that the graphics card needed to be replaced. So they offered to ship my laptop to an Apple repair facility in Houston, Texas (nearest one to me) and replace the graphics card, as well as any other parts that seemed to be damaged, for a flat rate of about $315. They recommended that I back up my hard drive just in case they found an issue with it (despite nothing showing up in the diagnosis at the genius bar) because the technicians at the repair facility will just swap it out for a new one.
    My dilemma:
    The employee at the genius bar gave me a list of Apple Authorized Service Providers that could help transfer the data from my macbook's hard drive to an external hard drive. I got a quote from them for $150, plus I would have to pay for a new external hard drive because my other one is full. In an effort to save money, I want to see if there is a cheaper way for me to backup the hard drive by myself. I have a pc laptop that still works fine, so I have been using that since my MacBook Pro died on me. Is there any way I could use that other computer to somehow backup my macbook's hard drive? Or would I need another mac to do the transfer? I have looked into buying a hard drive sled, but I don't know how those work, and I may not have all of the right equipment for it. If that is something I have the right tools for, and it's cheaper after buying all the accessories, then I would much rather go that route than taking it in to get serviced at an AASP store. Please help!
    I'll give good ratings to those who give me useful advice.
    Thanks,

    Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:

  • NVidia Settings for Two Different Graphics Cards?

    I just built a new system for video editing with Adobe CC 2014 including both the Quadro K4000 AND the GeForce GTX780 DirectCU II OC graphics cards. I was wondering what are the best settings in the NVidia control panel for apps such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, Speedgrade, Encore, etc. I see that there are global settings and app specific settings.
    One question I have concerns the CUDA cores. Should I select one graphics card over the other or use the global (all) setting? How does that work? For CUDA, if I select Global, does the system decide automatically which card to use or does it combine the CUDA cores of both cards?? Seems like an important distinction.
    Also, I have two monitors: ASUS PA279 (2560x1440) and a JVC PS-420W (1920x1080) How should these be connected to the computer for best performance and picture quality? Should I use DVI or HDMI connections?
    And, of course, the Quadro K4200 just appeared on the market, which offers almost double the CUDA cores and 4 GB RAM instead of 3 GB on the K4000. Should I return the K4000 and replace with the K4200? price difference not much.
    The rest of my system includes:
    Processor - Intel i7-4930k 6-core 3.4 GHz
    Motherboard - ASUS P9X79-E WS
    RAM - Corsair Dominator 2133 DDR3 64 GB
    System drive - Intel SSD 530 Series 240 GB
    Storage - WD Black 16TB (4x4TB) RAID 0
    UPDATE - I wrote to PNY because it's their Quadro K4000 card, and this was their reply to me:
    Hi Alex,
    Thank you very much for using our NVIDIA Quadro by PNY professional graphics boards, and for contacting PNY Quadro Support.
    Our NVIDIA Quadro K4000 is an excellent choice for supporting Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for video editing. 
    Forgive me, but we do not recommend installing Quadro and GeForce graphics boards together in the same configuration.  That does not mean that you cannot do it, and honestly, in Windows 7, it may actually be OK to have both cards installed (each with its own driver), but we still do not recommend it, and do not support it. 
    Furthermore, I support Quadro products only, not GeForce products, so I do not have a lot more to say about the GeForce card, other than to say that GeForce cards are intended for use supporting games and home use, while Quadro graphics boards are intended for use in workstations, supporting professional applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud 2014.
    I recommend installing the Quadro K4000 into the primary (top) PCIe x16 slot, and to install the latest ODE graphics driver for it:
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77637/en-us
    I recommend using the default settings in NVIDIA control panel.  The system will use the card in the primary slot. While Adobe CC applications are multi-GPU aware, and designed to automatically use the second GPU to improve performance, I feel more confident that you will see a benefit by using a second Quadro card in the secondary PCIe slot.  I do not know whether Adobe CC will use the GeForce GPU to boost performance, or not (as again, this is not supported or recommended). 
    For the Asus PA279, I recommend using a DisplayPort (DP) 1.2 cable (or perhaps a dual-link DVI cable) to connect it to the K4000.  I recommend using a single-link DVI cable (or perhaps a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, together with an HDMI cable) to connect the JVC PS-420W to the K4000.

    What a stubborn machine! Whenever I set the CUDA setting to GTX780 and hit 'Apply' it would jump back to the Quadro. Even after changing the Global setting to the GTX780 and back to Premiere it would do that. After a few times, it finally changed to what I wanted. Now Premiere, AE and Speedgrade are set to GTX780 for CUDA. However, there is a graph that shows GPU Utilization and it shows the Quadro still doing the brunt of the work - about 50-60% compared to the GTX at 5-8%. I suppose that's a different setting I need to change?
    I had both monitors connected to the Quadro. I just put the 2nd display on the GTX. Does it matter? And does it matter what connector type - HDMI, DVI, etc.?
    I set the BIOS to Gen 3 for the slots that the GPUs are in. And enabled 'Above 4G Decoding'. That Quadro is a PCI E 2.0 card. I see a 'little bit' of performance improvement playing back 3 layers of video with effects Magic Bullet Looks and different blending modes. It does not like the Neat Video noise reducer and some of the other effects, though. Still pretty crippled. Maybe a hard drive issue? I've got a 4 x 4 TB RAID 0 WD Black series on the onboard controller. 64 GB RAM is plenty.

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • NVidia GeForce4 Ti graphics card problems on my G4 1.25 MDD

    I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 yrs now and since i bought it from Apple it has the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 graphics card w/128MB DDR. Love the card, but now its acting up.
    At random while playing my favorite Online Game, WoW, the Computer will have system lock ups that feel like its an issue with the Video Card. I get the Gray Translucent effect that goes over the screen then the Dialog box that pops up with You must Resart your computer, blah blah blah. I think thats a Kernel problem (not sure). Can't force quit and I am forced to power down with the Power Button and then re-power up to boot up. Often I have opened my case to blow the dust out of the case with compressed air and I notice the GPU Heatsink/Fan is extremely Hot, even hotter than the CPU Heatsink. Could the GPU Heatsink/Fan have gone bad? If so could this cause the Card to Fail?
    I ran an Apple Hardware Test one time to check it out and the Quick Test passed but the Extended Test Failed giving me a bizarre Error Code for the Video Card. I didnt recall the Code but It leads me to think the Video Card Failed!
    I still Have 1 yr left on my 3yr AppleCare. What Can I do? Perhaps the Card needs to be replaced? I can't afford a new Video Card.
    Thank you any help or idea is appreciated.

    the apple care people were very nice and helped me through some checking and did more AHT (didnt seem necessary but) and they told me the Error codes meant something to do with the Cooling FAn faulting. I got a case # and took it into my local Apple store.
    the genius tech was great and listened intently. made me feel better about bringing it in.
    the initial reports from the apple care tech on phone and the apple tech at the apple store estiimated the video card would need replacement. very nice people, down to earth and didnt make me feel stupid as some techs do.
    after seeing the estimate made me glad for apple care... whoah, lets just say if I didnt have apple care, I wouldn't have gotten the computer repaired, I would of opted to attempt to just buy parts as I could.
    now stuck checking this discussion site with my old BWG3, and I am hoping the 7days rolls by fast.
    Thanks for the help.
