GT780 with AMD graphics card

Hi,
is the GT780 laptop that originally came with a GTX560M compatible with any AMD GPUs, specifically the HD5870M? I have one installed replacing the GTX560M thats broken and the laptop doesnt seem to pay nicely with it. The big issue is that Ive lost the ability to adjust screen brightness.
Cheers.

The GT780 is a bit different. It didn't have an 'integrated GPU' and a 'dedicated GPU' like the newer GT and GE series laptops do.
Because of this, the GT780 should work with an AMD/ATI card just fine to be perfectly honest.
The things you're 'having problems with' were particular to the NVidia card I believe, since it was actually controlled via SCM. This would have had to interface with the NVidia driver. Now that you're using an AMD/ATI card, SCM can't do the same things it did before because the hooks to work with the NVidia drivers won't work with the AMD/ATI drivers. For instance, the brightness probably won't work because of the settings it has to change. BUT I'm willing to bet if you use the FN+(whatever) keys to change brightness it will work.
The P1 button was a 'turbo mode' for the GPU, specifically for NVidia based cards. This will not work with an AMD based card.
The movie clip button probably changed the video profile being used in the GPU drivers and again, since you're not using the NVidia drivers anymore that button will no longer function.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is all the buttons you're having problems with had hooks that linked into the NVidia drivers and won't work with the AMD/ATI drivers.
If you aren't having issues with games and anything else, I'd just be happy that it works and you can play games.

    which mac mini should i go for: the one with AMD graphic card or Intel. I meanly going to use this for hometheater and HD movies.

    Intel HD 3000 graphics card can easily handle HD movies up to 1080p. But if you are looking at higher resolutions possibly 4k or 8k that are being released this summer in new TV's, I would go with the AMD card. The AMD card would be good for video and picture applications and also games. But if this is strictly to power your 1080p home theater setup then the choice is obviously the Intel HD 3000.

  • Problem with my amd graphic card

    Hi.. I have a problem with my amd graphic card.. The card is amd radeon 6770m.. I did format on my laptop and when I tried to install the catalyst center which includes the driver, it displays a message which say that catalyst center stop working... I have downloaded all the versions of the driver since 2011 when I bought the laptop... But I have the same problem whichever version I try.. I also have updated the bios to the last version but nothing happens..I think maybe graphic card is broken.. Thanks for reading..

    Hi @Lefteris93 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your I would uninstall all the software and drivers for AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control from the control panel and the Device manager.  Restart the notebook and download from here.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase. This will help update the drivers that have been installed on the Notebook.   If you graphics card was damaged or not functioning you would have a black or blank screen.
    Thanks.

  • Can't update AMD graphics card drivers in Macbook Pro 15" 2011

    I've been having this problem for a while now, and from what I understand, it's a fairly common issue with bootcamp but I have not been able to find a solution to the problem nonetheless. I am using a 15" Macbook Pro from 2011 (purchased in early September, not sure if that was before the 'late 2011' model or not), running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 through bootcamp v4.0. The graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6750m last updated on 6/13/2011 to version 8.812.0.0.
    I have tried many times to update the card using the AMD catalyst control center supposedly made for windows 7 in bootcamp, but no matter what compatibility options I choose, the installer either tells me there is no graphics adapter (auto detect) or just crashes immediately after starting installation of the catalyst control center. I've also attempted reinstalling bootcamp several times, each with a fresh download of the windows support software, though I have not completely uninstalled Windows 7. I'm not sure if the problem is with the bootcamp drivers themselves or with AMD's software or a combination of both, and a solution would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, I know this is completely the wrong spot for this, but while I'm here, does anybody else have issues running EA's Origin download service? I just installed it in bootcamp a few days ago to play Mass Effect 3, and ever since then my computer gets display lag (e.g. in windows media player the video freezes for a few seconds at a time, while the sound continues playing) sometimes, especially during and after attempting to play Mass Effect 3. I already checked to make sure that both Origin and Mass Effect 3 are fully up to date, so I thought it might have something to do with the graphics card.
    Anyway, thanks for the assistance, and I apologize for asking a question that has probably been answered several times. I searched through several posts, I couldn't find any answers to my problem.

    Despite all of these helpful posts from the community, I'm still coming up short. I'm attempting to update my ATI Radeon HD 6770m driver on windows 7 64-bit. I've followed this guide:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3866652?start=0&tstart=0
    (third post down) - I also use Drive Sweeper after using CCCleaner and device manager uninstall.
    Every time I attempt to install the driver after rebooting, I receive an error message stating "Driver install: the INF file was not found" with a log stating that the driver failed to install upon completion.
    When I attempt to use control panel>Device Manager>Display Adapters>Update Driver Software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software and then choose the appropriate file path (including subfolders) or by choosing from a list of device drivers and selecting one of the two inf files in c:/amd/support/12-2_mobility../packages/drivers/display/w76a_inf, I receive the following error message:
    "Windows Encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
    AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series
    There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    I'm hitting nothing but dead ends here. I just want to play SWTOR with an updated driver!
    Please provide a detailed, step-by-step solution (if you have one). It is not safe to assume that I have any experience regarding graphics drivers or running windows in bootcamp. Thanks in advance.

  • AMD graphic card not working

    Hello,
    first sorry for my english,
    second here are my specifications:
    Intel i5 2430m 2,4 GHz
    8 GB RAM
    SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB and HDD Seagate 750 GB
    AMD Radeon hd 6490m
    Here is the problem:
    two weeks ago i bought new ssd Samsung 850 EVO and HDD caddy. I switched original hdd to caddy and ssd to the place where hdd was before. I installed windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit to ssd, i istalled the latest drivers, but i have problems with AMD graphic driver.
    When i start, for exp. Battlefield 3, windows crash and i get blue screen with note, that i have low IOH (NB) voltage (code 0x116). But when i uninstall driver for AMD and run the game on Intel HD 3000 graphic it runs perfectly.
    Is it posible, that extra disc need power for working and use the power, which is used for AMD graphic card and that causes AMD for not working?
    Sometimes i dont get blue screen, but i get note from windows: AMD driver stopped working and has been recovered Now i am using only intel graphics

    Hi: See if this one works...it has a different file number and is from the dv4-3200tx which has basically the same hardware as yours does. 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: sp52929.exe

  • !!! Problem with 2nd graphic card !!!

    Hi I have a big problem with my laptop.
    I have an HP TouchSmart tm2-2000el Notebook, with Windows 7 64-bit.
    2nd Graphic card is ATI RADEON HD Series 5450.
    When I activate this hardware from Control Panel desktop goes black but every function are ok (sounds, illumination and all cmds).
    So I must restart my computer in Safe Mode disactivate ATI Radeon HD 5450 and restart it.
    Laptop run but only with Intel graphic card.
    I tried to search update drivers on Amd/ATI site: amd online software reveals Ati radeon HD 5000 Series but after download Ati software tell me that is impossible to install drivers because there isn't an ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series.
    So I have low graphics and CPU with 69°C because intel graphic card runs over...
    I haven't found any driver for my model of laptop on HP Assistance.
    Touchsmart spec
    How can I do now?
    Thanks
    Alberto

    This is the right driver for switchable graphics...do not also install the Intel only driver, you do not need both.

  • HP pavilion 17 problems switching amd graphics card

    HP pavilion 17 with AMD radeon 8670M
    I tried to switch from intel graphics card to AMD graphics card, at the switchable graphics menu.
    Switched to high performance at some games, but I still can't run the game at high settings, and even low settings are too high, the game is still a bit slow .  I have searched for some solutions, like changing the card in the BIOS, but the setting to change cards, wasn't in the BIOS. Nothing helped, and after a year i still don't have a solution to this problem...
    Does anyone knows a solution to this, what am I doing wrong?

  • Installing a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card on a MSI H61M-P31 G3

    Hi,
    I have a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) motherboard in my PC and I recently purchased a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card. Before purchasing as far as I could tell the graphics card was compatible with the motherboard. However, what seems to be a similar issue with a lot of people installing new graphics cards is that when I put it in my PC and boot it up the monitor doesn't recieve any signal from it and stays blank. I have installed the drivers, including the optional ones, and they don't compete with my old graphics card drivers because they are the same AMD Catalyst Control Centre. I have trawled the internet and tried numerous things but nothing has worked. Is there a fix or are the componenets just not compatible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

  • Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

    If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
    There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
    There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
    The things that i did:
    - Reinstall Windows
    - Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
    - different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
    I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
    Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

    @Enegue ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum.  In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9.  The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine.  It is designed to be fore general use.
    Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.  
    Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site.  They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
    Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

  • Problem with nvidia graphic card, nvlddmkm.s​ys

    I have a HP m9000 , originally it had Vista, it started to fail and display the error nvlddmkm.sys (on a blue screen od death), i intalled Windows 8 in hope the problem get resolve. but the problem still persist. At the beginning on W8 it looks like working fine, but suddenly it started to display "controller not responding", and then it is displayin "Something goes wrong with your graphic card".
    I found on internet a fix; expanding the nvlddmkm.sy_ and replace the file in system32. i made it but right now after the windows logon screen the monitor starts to blink between black screen and off screen.
    The grapghic card is a NVIDIA 8500 GT. I tested the graphic card in other computer, and at the begining it worked fine, but after the dirver installation it started to fail in the same way.
    Ad far i could read on intetrnet it is a failure with NVIDIA.
    Is there any solution for this problem? Or i should change the graphic video card? (Maybe for an ATI)

    Hi,
    I have used many different NVIDIA cards (including a 8600) on different PCs and never had your issue.
    As for drivers, you can always use the original drivers that came with your PC and then do an update if necessary.
