Now, the graphic was error, each after booting, the windows logo appears then to black screen (can't get the desktop).
In device manager - display adapters, only AMD problem (Microsoft Basic Display Adapter), then I uninstall the driver to be able to install AMD drivers.
I tried with "14-4-mobility-win7-Win8-win8.1-64-dd-ccc-WHQL", it is said that the last AMD drivers, but when at the end of install, it said failed to complete.
i also update driver Intel HD 3000 from this " https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 "
File name: win64_152822.exe

anyone please help me? i already try 5 days to try some driver but still black screen because AMD driver can't install. if you know the driver, please write the link. thanks a lot

1. In bios, do you found fixed and dynamic? if you don't found, install bios mod. Use dynamic
2. Uninstall all programs and drivers previously, before of "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Graphic Adapter WDDM1.3 - AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series" Release July 2014. You can use http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU, for example.
3. Do you install windows 8.1 on windows 8.0? do you use windows 8.1 fresh installation? Can you testing install a new copy of windows 8.0 fresh? install drivers and later install updates... or fresh install windows 8.1?
4. You testing install Windows 7 with http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55092.exe and update to windows 8?
5. You testing install http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55092.exe in windows 8 initially?
NOTE: Excuse me my bad english, I try to help you. You should install drivers in order: Intel Chipset Device Software, Intel Rapid Storage Technology, Intel Management Engine Interface (6-series / 7-series / 8-series / 9-series) and then AMD software: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-drivers-software-forum/556469-drivers-hp-dv6-4xxx-dv6-6xxx-dv7-5x...

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

Can I change graphic card ATI radeon 3200 HD to NVIDIA Gforce go series?

AMD turion X2 64 Toshiba Equium 300d-16c graphic card ATI radeon 3200 HD........
Can I change my graphic card into NVIDIA? cause im a gamerz and I want to have a high graphics when im playing.
Can i change my ATI 3200 into NVIDIA geforce go series?
Please help

Unfortunately graphic card exchange is not possible.
Every notebook has specific hardware platform and each of them is optimized to work properly (BIOS, cooling system and so on).
So this is definitely not possible.

Will my graphics card ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024 MB give me the power/speed benefits of Premiere cs6

will my graphics card ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024 MB give me the power/speed benefits of Premiere cs6??

As cc_merchant implied, Premiere Pro CS6 does not support OpenCL at all (in the Windows versions of Premiere) for MPE GPU acceleration. Your system with such a GPU would perform more or less equal to a system that has no discrete GPU at all (one that relies solely on an integrated graphics solution on the CPU or motherboard) because the MPE is permanently locked to the software-only mode. If you do see any tangible increase in the response of your current setup as compared to an otherwise identical system without a discrete GPU at all, it's because your system leaves more system RAM available for Premiere to work with.

Aperture 3, Snow Leopard, iMac ATI Radeon X1600 and graphics issues

I have been searching the web to see if 10.6.4 has finally solved the graphics issues with the white iMac 2.16 intel with the ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processors and seen some mixed reviews. What is the consensus here, has 10.6.4 finally solved the graphics issues when editing photos in Aperture 3 (not to mention problems with iPhoto and iChat also). I had to downgrade to Leopard before so I don't want to upgrade to SL again and go back down the downgrade path. Thanks in advance for the feedback

I can say that 10.6.4 has worked out the kinks for my white 24" iMac with 7300GT card. From what others have posted here, it appears the x1600 issues have been resolved as well. I was running 10.6.2 prior to this update and advising everyone else of same. Of course, 10.6.2 and SL was not perfect, with some issues cropping up here and there. IMHO the 10.6.4 release is equivalent to the 10.5.3 release by comparison. In fact, I upgraded my Mac mini after my good experiences with 10.6.4 on my iMac. Not sure if this helps or not.

ATI Radeon 9600 and PowerMac G4 QuickSilver - problem

Hi guys!
Sorry for the big amount of posts but I have yet another problem.
Yesterday I replaced the stock Nvidia GeForce2 MX in my QuickSilver with an OEM ATI Radeon 9600 128MB from my G5. I taped the pins 3 and 11 and the card worked immediately.
After using the Mac a bit, I noticed that the graphic performances are pretty much exactly the same as before. I installed Leopard and I got the translucent menubar, but the graphic performances are terrible (seems exactly as bad as the GeForce).
Does anyone have the same issue? Here is a screenshot from System Profiler in both Tiger and Leopard:
And here are some Xbench scores (the same card in the G5 scored about 121 points):

The DP800 shoild help, especiall the 1 MB L3 per CPU, but the Bus speed is still a bottleneck.
Overall, the Geekbench scores almost doubled, from 372 on the 733, to 670 on the DP800, which was mostly CPU not Graphics improvement, but you should see some.
I only have Xbench results for my QS2001 with upgraded CPUs to 1.47 DP/7455s & an MX2 it seems...

HP Envy 15 Graphics Problem with Windows 8.1 (Intel and NVidia Graphics). Help!

I bought an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j013ea about 6 months ago and I have had a major problem with the graphics that I cannot seem to solve. I think it started when I updated to Windows 8.1, even though I am not 100% certain.
I have noticed the following three problems, and I think they are related:
Some windows (such as Chrome, Skype, or even Device Manager or other windows) are very blurry compared to others.
The firefox menu window has some deformed black arrows instead of the normal ones.
When playing a game (specifically, Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2), after a while I get an error that the computer has ran out of memory. However, according to task manager, only about 50% is in use, not to mention that I have 8 GB of RAM + 2 GB graphics memory. At the same time, the computer gets rather loud (like a fan working overtime) and hot.
The laptop has both Intel and NVidia graphics, and both are enabled in Device Manager. To be honest, I have no idea which is used when, or how to check that (let me know if there is a way)
I have tried the following without success:
Uninstalling the Intel graphics driver from device manager and installing a version I downloaded from the HP website for my laptop and OS. After that, Windows would NOT BOOT, and I had to do a system restore.
Uninstalling the Intel graphics from Programs and Features, and installing 2 different versions from the Intel website. Nothing changed.
Updating Nvidia driver through GeForce Experience. Nothing changed.
Updating Intel drivers from Windows Update. Nothing changed.
Quite frankly I am not sure what the problem could be, since the graphics versions are supposed to be compatible with WIndows 8.1. I also don't get why some windows are blurry and others are not. I am thinking the computer uses only the Intel graphics and not the Nvidia (at least in the blurry windows), but even if that was the case (and it shouldn't be), I don't think I should be having this problem.
At this point, I really need help. My graphics details are:
Intel HD Graphics 4600: Driver version: 10.18.10.3412
NVidia GeForce GT 740M: Driver version: 335.23
NVidia GeForce Experience version: 1.8.2
I am attaching screenshots that show driver details and the problems.
Thank you.
Blurry Chrome:
Firefox menu problem:
Device Manager and driver windows are also blurry, both graphics are shown

I had a similar problem with a Dell laptop. I found the problem was the laptop wanted to switch between the Intel and NYIDIA video cards. It would switch to the Intel when high graphics was not required then to the NIVIDIA when high graphics was required. The laptop does this to save power when high graphics is not required but it caused problems with some applications, specifically high graphics games.
For me the solution was to disable the Intel graphics processor. You can do this by right clicking on your Wallpaper, select the NIVIDIA Control Panel, then select Set Physx Configuration. You will see a dropdown box labeled Select Physx Processor. It is set to Auto by default. This allows the switching I described. Select this dropdown box and select your NIVIDIA processor. This will prevent the laptop from switching and force it to use your NVIDIA processor exclusively.
Hope this helps.

Graphic card ATI RADEON HD 5450 and EMPIRE TOTAL WAR

I've installed EMPIRE TOTAL WAR
I plaied some days, but suddenly now I've a video problem and when start a game the video is not ok.
It is very strange, I'v plaied some days, but now, nothing.
I have an ATI RADEON HD 5450
What is the possible problem?
Thanks for every help
Paolo, form Italy

Paolo, the first thing that I would do is install the latest patch for the game. Next, install the latest software suite from ATI; Catalyst Control Center. This will allow you to control the fan speed of the video card. If this doesn't solve your problem, let us know.

Problems with ati radeon powersaving and vboxdrv

Hi
I use an old Laptop with an ATI Radeon Mobility x300:
$ lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]
, Kernel 2.6.36.1 and the latest xorg/radeon packages.
To use the powersaving features, I have
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
in /etc/rc.local. This works as expected, but when I load the vbox-modules on startup, I get the following errors:
vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
vboxdrv: Warning: 2.6.31+ kernel detected. Most likely the hardware performance
vboxdrv: counter framework which can generate NMIs is active. You have to prevent
vboxdrv: the usage of hardware performance counters by
vboxdrv: echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid
vboxdrv: Found 1 processor cores.
vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is 'normal'.
vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 3.2.10 (interface 0x00140001).
AND when after that, when /etc/rc.local is executed:
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason a0 on CPU 0. You have some hardware problem, likely on the PCI bus. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
If I disable these modules on startup, everything is OK, so it seems that the vbox-driver has something to do with it.
Do I have to worry about this and is there a fix for this problem?

Problem with radeon driver and Xorg

Hoping someone can help with this problem.
I would like to try and use the open source ati driver over the proprietary fglrx driver, however when I use this driver and I try to test my Xorg configuration it enters into X without any problems (mouse cursor appears and is functional) but when I Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit back to the console my screen resolution is completely distorted so that I can't read anything. I can enter commands and can only use a reboot command to get it functional again. I do not have this problem with the fglrx driver.
I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with an ATI Mobility X1400 graphics card.

It is very possible to have direct rendering on YOUR card (r5xx) with the radeon(ati) driver, but you need a lot of packages that are still in testing, and it is a somewhat daunting task to sort through everything.
Most importantly, you need x-server 1.5 and mesa 7.1+
The packages that you need & are newer than core/extra are (all can be had from testing, except libgl):
mesa >= 7.1
xf86-input-evdev 2.0.4
xf86-video-ati >= 6.9.0
xorg-server >= 1.4.99.906
libgl >= 7.1 ** has to be built from a with ABS/pkgbuild, because you need to add r300 & radeon dri-drivers in the configure **
I have an x1650 (rv535) and have been running the radeon driver WITH direct rendering since JULY, and the performance is very good. I can run compiz without skipping a beat (while playing WOP), 2800FPS on glxgears, and ** play video WITHOUT TEARING **!!
Please read a lot of what's going on in this forum:
http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=43 (open source ati/amd)
I hope this gives you some hope that it can be done.
Fight the good fight FOSS for ALL!
BTW, the radeon(ati) driver is better than radeonhd for our cards!!!

Mac Pro Graphic Card: ATI Radeon 2 x 5770 or 1 x 5870?

HELP!
OK, So I've just ordered my new Mac Pro for work and here's the spec:
MAC PRO
Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 12GB (6X2GB)
2 x ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB Graphic cards
2 x 512GB Solid State Drives
2 x HD Cinema screens
One 18x SuperDrive
JOINT VENTURE MEMBERSHIP
£8,950.00 (ouch!) being made up now, and delivered next week.
What I need to know is would it be better / faster going for 1 x ATI Radeon HD 5870 1 GB or stick with the 2 x HD 5770's graphc cards?
I popped into The Apple store in Regent Street, London today and as a Joint Venture Business account holder I got to see someone straight away and no one could answer me the question which would be better or faster?
1 x ATI Radeon HD 5870
or the
2 x ATI Radeon HD 5770
I work with extremely High Resoultion Image and design files, so it's imperitive to get the best.
I very much look forward to your valued opiions.
Yours..

Hi Bob,
From Apple's page: http://www.apple.com/macpro/features/graphics.html
Give your graphics a turbo boost.
For even more graphics horsepower, upgrade to the ATI Radeon HD 5870 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. An ideal choice for the most demanding applications, this card features a wider memory bus and higher-performance GPU, resulting in up to 70 percent faster performance compared with the ATI Radeon HD 5770.
You need the 5870 it is 70% faster, but more importantly you do not want the Apple monitors for critical photography applications.
I would STRONGLY suggest the NEC wide gamut calibration monitors. I use the 30" PA301WBKSV models, but if budget is constrained, they also make a 27" model for about 40% less.
The difference between a wide gamut and a regular (Apple) monitor is startling. You will save time and money due to the accuracy of the color causing fewer reprints. You literally will see colors you have never seen before on a screen.
At the very least, buy one of the wide gamut for adjustment work, and the lesser monitor for the non-critical pallette purposes.
Also, I would not buy either the RAM or SSDs from Apple, as there are better and cheaper alternatives out there. The 480GB Mercury EXTREME™ Pro 6G SSD are less money, double as fast as Apple and have a 5 year warranty.
I would also recommend more RAM, I use 48GB and never run into pageouts. You can buy the 48.0GB OWC Memory (3 x 16.0GB PC10600 DDR3 ECC 1333MHz 240 Pin) for a little more than you are paying Apple for 12GB, and this RAM is a lifetime warranty.
Hope this helps

ATI Radeon 9200 and Mac OS X 10.5?

I just bought this card (ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition - 128MB), installed the available drivers (for Mac OS X 10.4, according to ati.com) and firmware update, but the graphics are horrible. In World of Warcraft, it's running at 5 FPS at lowest graphic-settings in the game. Even the Finder is having trouble.
Doesn't this card work under Mac OS X 10.5?
I tried to contact ATI, but I haven't heard from them yet. So I'd like to hear, if anyone have the same issues as me.

Hi-
The 9200 has a core clock speed of 250mhz. Since it resides in a PCI slot, there is no multiplier, and the results are less than spectacular (as you found out). The 9200 is really meant more for adding multiple monitors, rather than adding performance.
The FX 5200(?) that came in your G5 also has a core clock speed of 250mhz, but with the 8x AGP slot, it benefits from the multiplier of the AGP, and operates much faster (though the 5200 isn't really a performance card). More on AGP.
If you are really serious about your gaming, you will need the ATI Radeon X800XT. Here are some Benchmarks. More OEM Benchmarks.
You might want to consult with OWC as to the possibility of exchange of the 9200 for an X800..... The 9600 may also be a consideration, though it is only a mid range performer.

looks a little like a downgrade to me - the article doesn't really deal with downgrading to the 'original' MacPro (?wonderng why? - 5770 shot? and X1900 lying around?)
Never tried to downgrade... so I'm out.

20" ACD, ATI Radeon 9600, and Me

hello all!
Just a quick question. I'm (semi) technically proficient and am pretty good with hardware, but still uneasy with Apple stuff.
I have a ATI Radeon 9600 I believe (It's somewhere around there; whatever came stock with the unit)and I'm going to purchase a 20" ACD in a couple of weeks and have a question:
Now I know that the card is a massive 64 MB! (lol) and I've never upgraded cause never really had a reason. I am aware of splitting your vram over 2 displays can hinder the display causing ghosting and graininess and wondered what you guys thought about purchasing another card to run this display. I have to hold onto my ATI because of the ADC connector, and dropping 99 bucks for a converter is not a wise decision for me quite yet. Now I've been made aware of running multiple cards on a unit. It can't be as simple as popping in another card and taking it from there would it?!? The OS would go nucking futs figuring out what card to use and such I would assume.
So, after all that rigamarole:
CAN I run 2 cards on my MDD dual G4?
If so, how?
also, SHOULD I run a second card if I can (you guys with this setup can help me tons!)
if so, what card would you guys recommend. I'm looking around the 128 MB variety. I don't want to break the bank, getting an 800 dollar display, then a 300 dollar card.
edit: also, the max rez on the 17" studio is 1280 x 1024 and the 20" ACD 1680 x 1050. That shouldn't be a problem should it? I mean, it's only REALLY adding pixels length wise, and only 26 more height so the 20" won't be knocked down in rez to make up for this right?
(forgive my ignorance, though I've used the dual-display setup, I've never owned one. and to be fair, that one had the same size monitors on both)
So, guys (and gals) help me out here!

Mr Mayhem,
if I understand you correctly, you want to use the (older/ADC connection) 17" apple display together with the (newer/DVI connection) 20" apple display together on your MDD Dual 1 G.
My first advice would be to get two displays of the same kind. You will love that (equal screen resolutions just feel better somehow) ... get a 2nd hand 17" or, even better, ditch the 17" and get two 20".
In case you rather stick to your original plan - just get the ATi Radeon 9200 Mac Edition and put it in one of the PCI slots of your MDD. It will feed the 20" via DVI conncetor and it'll cost you roughly around 100.- and the 128 MB onboard RAM will be ok for standard use; maybe just not for betatesting Quake VII Arena. Probably the best bang for buck in your situation. Lood Guck !
