Graphics card problems in bootcamp

I have the cheapest latest macbook AKA (2.0ghz white with 1gb of ram and only a CD Rw/DVD drive) my problem is that when i'm in bootcamp my Intel gma 950 graphics card supposedly has 224 mb of ram (according to system in control panel and Ea's hardware checker) but i haven't been able to get any games requiring more then 64mb of Ram to work on it, and according to my macbook box it is only a 64mb graphics card, so which one is it? 64 or 224? And if it is restricted to 64mb can i unrestrict it without any major issues?

The other thing to consider is how extensive do you wish to get into gaming, on your computer. If you casually play games like "The Sims" or "Starcraft" on weekends/down time then the shared graphics processor is going to be more than adequate. Likewise, I'm even finding that with World of Warcraft, my Macbook can easily handle "hardcore content" on a nightly basis without flinching.
However, a game like C & C III, Guitar Hero III, Battlefield 2142 and others don't play well with the Macbook. For same gamers, they have to be the biggest, fastest, bestest (yes I know it's wrong) machine and graphics processor out there. They want to see the sweet drip off of their enemy's brow from 100-yards away, and the Macbook's hardware isn't designed for that. That's why Apple has the Macbook Pro, iMac and Mac Pro! Those machines can handle that and then some.
When shopping for computer games, blindly walking into a store and buying one off the shelf is not advised, even if it says "works with OS X 10.4.x." Understand what the minimum system requirements are, OS requirements, processor, RAM, even HD storage requirements. Heck, I even go so far as to visit game developers' websites now and see what exactly the game is verified to run on (in terms of processor, graphics card, and RAM).

  • Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

  • Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

    Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
    Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
    Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
    They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    Issued me a refund check for my repair.
    Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
    but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
    Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
    Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
    Thank you for the reply.

    Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
    Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

  • HP Pavilion G4 1003-TX Graphic Card Problem

    Hello... I have HP pavilion G4 1003TX laptop which cureently having graphic card problem. Technician at my place said that's caused by the solder connection on my Radeon graphic card.  He said it can be repaired, but the same problem will happen again soon unless i replaced my graphic card with new one.
    In my laptop, i have Radeon and Intel graphic card which i can switch freely. My question is, if i change from my Radeon to my Intel graphic card, is my graphic card problem solved? Is my laptop still will not last long unless i buy new graphic card?
    Please help me if you know the answer. Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    So my laptop will not start after i turned it on. The technician said it because some solder connection on the graphic card so it need to be resoldered. He warn me that the same problem will happen again soon since it's sign that my VGA card will dead. After he resoldered, my laptop can work normally for 3 months. Now, after 3 months, my laptop  can't start again just like before. The technician said it because of solder connection of my VGA card again.
    So, since my laptop has Intel and Radeon VGA card that i can switch, is switching my VGA card form Radeon to Intel will solve my Radeon VGA card dead problem? Will my laptop can work normally if i switch my VGA card to Intel?

  • Mail (4.6) in OS10.6.8 shows several photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.). Could it be a graphics card problem?

    My mother-in-law's MacBook Pro 13 (m2009) Mail (4.6) with OS 10.6.8 shows several
    photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.).
    Could it be a graphics card problem?
    Or a bad unpacking of attachments over poor WiFi/Internet?
    If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate your help.
    Thanks from Japan!
    Dan

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • HT1553 my laptop screen has gone blank, probably graphic card problem. i want to back it up. please help

    my laptop screen has gone blank probably due to graphic card problem.i need to back up my content as i have bought a new mac and do not intend on repairing the old one. please help

    Try a Target disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
    If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
    If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
    Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card.  Again I would take it the  Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
    Hoe this helps.

  • Problems running PC game with bootcamp, graphics card problem?

    I have searched extensively on answers to this question and I've gotten some vague ideas of what to do, but not a direct answer.
    I recently installed a copy of Windows on my 15in Macbook Pro (the ones that came out right before the latest ones in late August/Early October 2008 or whatever). I did this in order to play Final Fantasy XI Online on my laptop. The machine is more than capable of running the game and I've read forum posts that had said that it works fine through bootcamp. I installed the game and was playing it just fine until one day the game began to lag really bad in areas where there were a lot of people or in other words something very demanding of the memory/graphics. I don't mean internet speed lag, I mean the computer would slow the game down to a crawl and the sound would be sort of garbled like it was some sort of feedback. It would happen periodically or if some sort of animation would start (spellcasting, etc)
    I've tried everything from changing the settings of the game so that it's not as demanding to installing modified drivers for the graphics card (256mb Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT). I read that there may be some problems with the graphics and sound cards communicating which causes lag?
    The computer also gets unnaturally hot while I run the game/windows in general. Could it be a cooling problem?

  • Macbook pro 15 retina graphic card problems

    I have a problem that my mac dont wanna run the Geforce gt 650M graphic card.. its saying that is running the geforce but you can tell by the
    proformance that its using the intel HD graphic 4000.. is it software or hardware problems  ?
    i try running the computer on bootcamp windows and have the same problems its running on the intel graphic card even tho its saying thats its running

    The reset is a little tricky and might take a few tries before you do it successfully, keep eye on for the colour change on the magsafe connector

  • RAM and graphics card problem?

    Hi, I recently purchased an Macbook pro that has already been bootcamped with windows 7 ultimate. My issue is that the windows partition is only recognising 2 GB of my installed 8GB of RAM, the windows 7 operating system is only 32bit so I know I will only get a maximum of 4GB but why is it only reognising 2GB?
    Another problem is that the windows side is using the incorrect graphics card, in this macbook there are the GT9600 and 9400 from nvidia, is there anyway to change which graphics card windows uses?
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Use the new RAM. The stuff from Amazon is nice and using all the same set IS best policy.
    New on A1:2 and whatever else in B1:2
    4 or 8 DIMMs is what you want to use. There is small higher latency using 6 or 8.
    For best performance on Mac Pro, install memory in risers symmetrically
    The Mac Pro comes with two memory riser cards, each with four DIMM slots. With a total of eight slots, you can add up to 16 GB of memory.
    Note: DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size from the same vendor. For instance, you must not have one or three DIMMs on either riser at any time. Additionally, two DIMMs from different vendors should not be combined and used as a pair.
    Other configurations of DIMM pairs are still compatible with Final Cut Studio, but may not achieve the same performance levels as when DIMM pairs are installed on both risers evenly.
    Riser A contains:
    Riser B contains:
    2 x 512MB
    2 x 512MB
    2 x 1GB

  • 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.

  • DVI cable not working, but VGA one will. Graphics card problem?

    Ok so. I have a Mac Pro with ATi 1900XT card. Was using a Samsung LCD for a while, via a DVI-VGA adapter. Works fine. Two days ago, I attached another monitor, a DGM, to the second DVI port using a DVI lead; the one supplied with the monitor. Everything worked fine.
    Then today, I tried the same thing, but the second monitor only works at one particular resolution; 1280x800 or something. And the picture is a bit crappy. So, I tried with only the DGM monitor plugged in the first DVI port. Apple symbol at start up, and then just a black screen.
    Swapped over to a VGA lead, and everything works perfectly again.
    So, is the problem with the cable, the monitor, or the graphics card?
    Maybe the cheapo cable is just not very good? But why it works only at one resolution? Weird. And it did flicker on at a couple of other resolutions, but went off again. And even at the one resolution it worked at, there was a secondary 'mirror' image of part of the screen, at one side of the screen.
    Very strange, considering it worked perfectly before.
    Oh, and I upgraded the Mac Pro's firmware yesterday. Could this have anything to do with things?
    Weird...

    Forgot to add, we are running XP. We tried a different monitor and now at least we can get one monitor working via the display port. But when we try two monitors at the same time, the 2nd monitor on display port is not detected. How do we disable built in LCD on the X201 ? Lenovo support says its a BIOS setting ? That doesnt sound right  to me...
    Are you trying to use a DVI Splitter? I do not think that a DVI Splitter would work with a Single Link Displayport TO DVI Adapter. I do not think a Dual Link Displayport To DVI Adapter would work with a DVI Splitter.
    I think that you might need something link this.

    Not sure, if the x201can handle 3 monitors in this fashion. StarTech.com says the GPU determines the support according to the youtube video.
    It is pretty expensive,and it would be nice to know the limit.

  • Graphic card problem - blue screen error

    Hi
    When I turn my computer on after it has been off for a long time, it comes up with a blue screen which says: "Your graphics card has got stuck in an infinite loop and your computer had to be shut down to prevent damage"
    When I restart my computer it is fine, but I still want to change my graphics card, or at least fix he problem
    Thanks

    Hello
    Download the graphic card driver from Toshiba download site. In device manager open graphic card properties. Chose please driver tab and use uninstall (advanced) option. After that restart the unit and install downloaded Toshiba driver.
    I am pretty sure that it should work well again.
    Bye

  • Hp pavillion 500-185el graphic card problems after update to windows 8.1

    hallo
    after i done the Windows 8.1 update my graphic card is giving me some problem.
    occasionally my desktop become black for 1-2 seconds and the background disappears.
    I've update all drivers.
    the problems started after the update to Windows 8.1
    graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
    driver version: 13.150.102.0
    thanks for support

    Hey @jdudleyjones ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the card reader for your notebook is no longer working after updating to Windows 8.1.
    You're probably right that it's a driver issue, however just like you I don't know which card reader you're using either.
    Can you please tell me which notebook you have? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    It would also help if you could tell me the Hardware ID for the card reader. Here's how you find it:
    Press Windows Key + X
    Click Device Manager
    Click View at the top and select Show hidden devices.
    You will most likely find the card reader listed under Other devices as an Unknown device.
    Right click on it and select Properties.
    Select the Details tab.
    Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids.
    Note down the first ID in the list (as you'll see they're all pretty much the same regarding the Ven_ and Dev_ numbers which is all I need).
    Once you've provided this info I should be able to find the drivers for you.
    Look forward to hearing back from you!
    Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!

    I've done a couple of modifications on it but I dont believe they have affected it to such extent. I believe it might be a defective graphic card but at this point, believing the crash was induced by the usage of Office I have done everything possible short to dismembering the Mac and changing the Graphic Card. I have read somewhere that mid 2010s had problems with graphic cards. If anyone has found a way around the changing of the card, I would be very grateful of their opinion and suggestions.

    First, uninstall the software responsible for installing these extensions:
    com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver          1.0.0
    com.squirrels.driver.AirParrotSpeakers          1.8
    com.rim.driver.BlackBerryUSBDriverInt          0.0.68
    If removing the software and extensions doesn't solve the problem, then you are probably correct about the GPU:
    The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
