GE620DX - utility an integrated graphics card

Hello, new MSI notebook user here. I've got my notebook last week and I'm experiencing 2 major problems.
And before you ask, yes I've read the stickies and used the search option.
1. My function keys, and therefore my webcam, my Wi-Fi card and other controls can't be used/turned on. I've installed everything on the CD and nothing seems to work. I've chcecked on MSI.com in the download section but it's pretty much the same I have on the CD. What should I do, where should I download these utilities from?
2. The integrated graphics card from Intel. I can't run some games because of it (eg. Orcs Must Die!) or get low/unstable framerates (eg. League of Legends, Starcraft II). I know it's a notebook but since it's being sold as a gaming device and sports a pretty decent GPU from Nvidia I reckon this shouldn't happen, especially on 1-2 year-old games. Anyway, I can't disable it from Windows (it turns off the display) or BIOS (don't see such an option). Again, what should I do, how do you solve this?
Thanks in advance

I know this is an old thread but he might still need help.
1. This is working fine for me, just download the latest updates from MSI's homepage, also use flash the latest BIOS and Firmware, there is a guide on the MSI homepage to. The drivers on the CD is outdated.
2. You can't disable the intel graphics, but you can choose wich graphic card to use on the games. You can rightclick on the games shortcut or the .exe launcher. Then you select Use graphic processor -> Nvidia high performance.
You can also enter nvidia graphics panel by right clicking on your desktop, in here you go 3D-settings -> Program settings. Just add the game, for example League of Legends, and choose always run with Nvidia high performance. Then the intel graphics wont bother you.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Blix

  • No DVI output with T420 on integrated graphics card and Mini Dock Series 3

    Because of some application problems I have to set my new T420 to only use the integrated graphics card (disabling the NVidia Optimus feature). In this configuration I seem to be unable to use the DVI port on the Mini Dock Series 3, there is simply no signal and Windows reports that no monitor could be found. The VGA output works but the picture quality is quite bad.
    Is this a known design limitation or do I deal with a driver issue?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Yes, that works but there is the drawback of battery life. In the course of the day I often undock the laptop to go to meetings and using the discreet graphics card uses a lot more power and significantly reduces the time i can work without power. I would have to restart the laptop and change the setting in the BIOS after I undock, which is just not practical. For what I do I don't need the graphics power of the discreet card.

  • Repeated error from Intel integrated Graphics card in my brand-new B320

    Hi
    I am getting repeated errors from the Intel Integrated Graphics card (on the Intel i3 chip as I understand it) in my brand-new B320.
    I checked via a tool from Intel that my drivers were up-to-date (version 15.22.1.2361).
    I checked via Device Manager Update Drivers that my driver was up-to-date.
    I attempted to uninstall and re-install my driver BUT the uninstall reverted me to a VGA Adapter (so my screen was then running in a low res 800x600 mode!) and I could not even then see the Intel Integrated Graphics card in Device Manager to be able to re-install the driver against (even if I ran scan for new hardware): I had to restore to a System Restore Point - so the problem has of course come back.
    I have even had one error where the screen then went completely blank and nothing would bring it back: I had to power off the PC (Ouch!)
    PLEASE advise how I rectify this incredibly frustrating problem step-by-step. 

    hey johnestlea,
    i was going through the download list of the B320 here : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=156819
    And could not find any driver with the version 15.22.1.2361 for the Intel Integrated Graphic Card. Where did you get that version ?

  • Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 process

    Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 processor and does a screen resolution of more than 1024 x 768 make any diference in elements 11? What should I be looking for to enable elements 11 to work efficiently without over specing? thanks folks !

    PSE doesn't make big demands on the graphics card, but you want a screen that is at least 800 px tall to be able to use all the features. Some things, like the raw converter, may not appear at less than that.

  • Is a dedicated graphics card better than an integrated graphics card for running Logic Pro?

    I am trying to figure out if a dedicated graphics card is better than an integrated graphics card for using Logic Pro. I have heard opinions supporting both. From what I have been told a Mac mini with an integrated graphics card would work just fine. I have also heard that a modest dedicated graphics card could also benefit Logic Pro. Honestly, I have heard more people saying that the integrated graphics card on the Mac mini would do the job. But still, I have heard a couple people (even 2 senior Mac experts) state that a dedicated graphics card (iMac) is the way to go. Maybe a Mac mini with integrated graphics card will do the job, but an iMac would do the job better, I don't know, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    One thing is Logic Pro and another thing is Final Cut Pro. Logic Pro is a music production app, so it doesn't use the GPU heavily and you can use it with an integrated GPU without any problem. However, video editing apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie will note the difference

  • Disabling the integrated graphics card or updating any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

    So I couldn't activate Assassin's Creed 3 on bootcamp which I shuold have been able todo. I posted it on Ubistoft Support and This is what I got!
    Hello ,
    It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.
    So I was wondering how I could disable the intergrated grahics card or update any software that will aid the ocmputer in switching between the two graphic chips.

    The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

  • MSI GT60 Always Runs On Integrated Graphics Card

    Hello everyone. Not sure if this question was asked before. But i cant get my new laptop to run on nvidia graphics. Was playing Heroes of Newerth today and realised i was getting 45 fps only. So i lowered the graphics. The fps raised up to 80. I didnt think the gtx770M should be this weak so:
    i disabled the integrated graphics from device manager and re-ran the game. This time fps was awfully less. Like 10-15 fps.
    I disabled nvidia graphics to make it run on integrated graphics. Re-ran thegame again i got like 80 fps. So im pretty sure the computer is running on integrated graphics card.
    I configured stuff on nvidia control panel. Set preferred gpu to Nvidia Graphics Processor. Still it doesnt seem to help. Fps is around the same level.
    I reinstalled the drivers from the laptops own cd. No help either. I also did a clean install. So its not about the installation either.
    Couldnt find any way to change the default gpu on bios. The laptop also came with windows 8 64 bit
    The system is -
    i7-4700mq processor
    Nvidia gtx770M gpu with 3gb memory.
    16 gb 1600 mhz ddr3 ram
    250 gbsuperraid ssd. 750 gb 7200 rpm for storage
    Anyone else experienced the same problem? Or anyone knows how to fix this?

    Quote from: aliycen on 17-June-13, 00:31:21
    I have tried that too. Then I got the error "this driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". I looked it up and tried a few other things. But then I ended up with a blinking black screen with rebooting. Now i restored everything and lost all my date. The computer is back to its former slow self. I don't know what to do. When i alt + tab from a game and return to it. The fps is almost twice as high. Then it quickly drops down to 40s again. I cant install the latest drivers either.
    you have some mess
    restore OS to factory default

  • Nvidia x Integrated graphics card

    Hello, I would like to ask you, if I lose my Nvidia I still able to use the laptop with Integrated graphic only? Thanks.

    hi luizcanguini,
    Looking at your previous posts, are you referring to the IdeaPad Z710 model? If yes and the  Z710 came with an Intel+Nvidia GPU then this uses the Nvidia Optimus technology to switch between the Integrated and discrete graphics.
    I don't have a Z710 here with me for testing but ideally, there's an option in the BIOS to switch between UMA (Integrated Graphics) and Optimus (switchable graphics). In event that the Nvidia GPU is showing signs of failure, you can boot into the BIOS and temporarily disable the Nvidia GPU by changing the Graphic Device to UMA and still be able to use the laptop using the Integrated graphics.
    Alternatively, you can also disable the Nvidia GPU under the Device Manager.

  • G580 disable integrated graphics card

    Hi.
    How can I make my laptop (G580) use just the dedicated graphics card ?  In BIOS I only have the options "Switchable graphics" and "UMA". I understood the latter stands for the integrated card.
    Thanks.

    Is there any way to use ingegrated graphics card in this notebook? For example by switching it in BIOS?
    Does the notebook supports HybridPower(switching between integrated and dedicated graphics card while running)?

  • Does T61 with integrated graphic card come with 65W power adapters?

    Hi everyone, i am about to buy T61 without the graphic card.
    Plz help!, anyone knows it comes with which type of power adapters?? say 65W or 90W
    Thank you

    integrated graphic card model should come with 65 w power adapter... while those Nvidia one has 90 w power adapter..

  • I want to disable my integrated graphics card.

    Hi, i have a very frustrating issue with my notebook, which is, i use it mainly for gaming. (didnt have a choice on the pick, i won the computer at a lan event in portugal). I thought that the graphics card was broken for several reasons, but i have since then called HP support and they told me that infact its the computer that decides in the end which display adapter is used, even when i have selected for it to do otherwise(its selected to run the NVIDIA graphics card, but according to hp support even when i have chose it to do this its still selecting the wrong one.). If i disable the intel hd4000 on the device manager and try to go on the nvidia control panel, it says that i dont have a display adapter connected, if i enable it and go on the control panel, it doesnt show half the options it should (no resolution change, no digital vibrance change). So i asked hp support if i could disable intel hd4000 entirely and he said i couldnt unless i downloaded a specific BIOS online, which is why im here. Im done playing with 50-60 fps on a 4 year old videogame which i play on the lowest settings and near the lowest resolution, so, if you could point me out the version that allows me to disable my intel hd4000 graphics card so that my laptop only uses the NVIDIA graphics card, that would be great. If the low fps problem persists, then i will at least know that the computer is just horrible for gaming, if it doesnt, then great, i was right about it never using the nvidia card in the first place.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @RicardoAlmeida ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to  help!
    I grasp that you are having an issue with your switchable graphics and HP support referred you to a bios update.
    You can run the HP Support Assistant  to aid with HP updates.  Here is a link to the HP ENVY dv6-7300sp Notebook PC Drivers where there is a bios update if it has not been done previously. Updating the BIOS.   As a bios update does have the potential to cause damage, I suggest contacting HP support for assistance.
    As you do have switchable graphics I believe this document is the one you require, It will help you configure your graphics.

  • Allocating memory to integrated graphics card [resolved]

    I recently acquired a dell dimensions 2350 with an integrated 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] GPU.  The GPU has no video memory of it's own, but robs it from the main system RAM.  From Dell's website:
    Between 32 and 64 MB of system memory may be allocated to support graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors.
    Since I've maxed out the system memory at 1gig, I'd like to make sure that the GPU is getting the full 64 megs.  I thought I could verify this easily by just running htop, and seeing how much memory the system claims to have, thinking that total system ram minus what htop reports would be how much memory is allocated to the GPU.  However, htop reports a total of 1010 megabytes.  That led me to believe that just 14 megabytes were allocated to the GPU.  Is that wrong?  Is that missing memory, memory eaten up by the kernel or something? 
    I tried forcing X to grab more memory by entering "VideoRam  65536" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf under section "device" along with my driver information, but that changed nothing, and the X log file says:
    # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i videoram
    (WW) intel(0): VideoRam configuration found, which is no longer recommended.
    (II) intel(0): Continuing with default 131072kB VideoRam instead of 65536 kB.
    (**) intel(0): VideoRam: 131072 KB
    That doesn't make sense to me either, since according to Dell, the max allotable video ram would only be 65536. 
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S.  The display is fine, and GLX reports that DRI is enabled, but glxgears is ridiculously low, and scrolling in a terminal emulator can be slow sometimes (although scrolling in a web browser is fine).  glxgears reports about 835 fps.

    Thanks for the responses guys. 
    Adam: I think that you might be right, that Dell wasn't planning on people using linux drivers, and therefore listed limitations that the windows drivers might enforce.  As for the slow scrolling, I alleviated the problem a little by switching to LXterminal, but it's still annoying.  You'd think that it would be a lot less processor intensive to scroll text in a terminal, as opposed to graphically enriched hypertext in a browser window. Weird.
    Square: I don't really have a problem, (except for scrolling in a text emulator).  I just want This old thing to perform as well as possible (partly to show off to the guy that used to own it.)  I had a  little trouble playing Chromium at first, but one of my tweaks fixed that at some point.  What do you mean that it used to be controlled by the bios, but was removed?  You mean that at some point the driver developer (i810) decided to override control of videoram from the BIOS?

  • Lenovo g570 integrated graphic card problem

    Hello, i've been forced to switch from windows 8 to windows 7 64 bit , and unfortunetly I'm not able to install graphic drivers . I've tried to install the one from lenovo drivers & support but whenever i try to do it i recieve an error "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software" . I am of course not able to install AMD drivers as well . Device manager -> display adapters detects only Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and that's strange as well. I've tried to reinstall windows , tried windows 7 32bit , windows 7 proffesional N all with the same result.

    Hi Hliberacki,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the Graphics and its driver features are not installing or working as expected in your G570 Laptop, the latest driver can be download from the AMD website and a simple auto detect application will install in the computer to make sure a relevant display driver for G570 Laptop is downloaded, below is the link to AMD auto detect application.

  • How do I make Visual Studio 2013 use my dedicated graphics card instead of integrated graphics on my laptop?

    I am using Alienware 13 as a portable workstation. I do game development on Unreal Engine 4 using Visual Studio 2013. The issue I am having is that when I want to debug codes in Visual Studio 2013, it launches Unreal Engine 4 through the debugger and uses
    the integrated graphics card rather than my dedicated graphics card, which is an nVida Geforce 860M.
    When I wanted to change the settings in the NVidia Control Panel, I see this:
    The drop-down menu is grayed out, so I cannot select to change the graphics card to my dedicated card.
    What should I do? How do I make it so that Visual Studio uses my dedicated card? Thanks in advance.

    Hi tom_mai78101,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    As you said that you want to change the setting so that Visual Studio uses your dedicated card in NVidia Control Panel, since this NVidia Control Panel is third-party tool, we are not support it. So please post this issue this issue directly
    to this NVidia Control Panel Official website:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-communities.html , you will get better support.
