HP 15-g505nc (K7R17EA) - Switchable Graphics not working

Hello,
I have a problem with my switchable laptop graphics (A4-6210 APU with R3 / HD 8570). When I try to run some games or more demanding application with high performance settings, applications are using only APU integrated graphics, but not dedicated. Even in game setting dedicated GPU is recognized, but the option is greyed out. I've tried to install both latest AMD Omega drivers (14.501.1003.0) and also HP provided drivers for my model (13.351.1105.1005) with no success. Also in BIOS there is no option to cofigure swtichable graphics.
Please, need some help. I'm pretty new HP and AMD user. I was used to intel/nvidia hardware, so maybe I am overseeing something. Thanks.

Hi @LukasB92 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having some problems with the switchable graphics options. I will be happy to show you how to use the dedicated card. You will actually use the Catalyst Control Center to determine which program uses which graphics card. This HP document on switchable graphics Figure 1 will show you how to use the Catalyst Control Center. Make sure that you are using this HP AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver.

  • AMD CCC / switchable graphics not working properly

    Hi all,
    ok first of all i read bunch of posts on this forums, and on most of them i saw only responds with links and to download and update drivers - and those things seems not to work for most of people. So i decided to write here a post where someone will actually fix this problem because it is common on most of HP laptops.
    First of all, i bought my laptop in Qatar while i was on bussiness there.
    Model: Pavilion dv6-6b20se
    Product Number: A6N20EA#ABV
    Graphics: Intel HD 3000 and AMD HD 6490
    I bought this computer because im working as an architect and designer and sometimes i need it for rendering, and yea i would like to mention that part time i love to play games. So at that time (2 years ago) and for that money it was pretty decent laptop.
    So i've never touched anything myself on laptop, i always let my HP Support Assisstant do the work it is on computer. To be honest i didnt even know that this option of Switchable graphics exist. Until yesterday when i put game to play and i got problem wherever i press ESC it closes came and it crashes.
    I googled around and I saw that the problem apears when your graphic card is low.
    Requirements for the game:
    Minimum System Requirements
    MinimumOS: Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7
    Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
    Memory: 1 GB RAM for Windows XP / 2 GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7
    Graphics: 256 MB (With Pixel Shader 3.0 support)
    DirectX: DirectX 9.0 c compatible
    Hard Drive: 15 GB
    Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible
    Supported Chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater, ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater.
    Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 7300, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, and 9300; ATI Radeon HD3200 and HD 4350 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to the video and sound card drivers may also be required.
    Recommended System Requirements
    OS: Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7
    Processor: 2.6+ GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
    Memory: 2 GB RAM
    Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, or better
    DirectX: DirectX 9.0c August 2008 (included)
    Hard Drive: 15 GB
    Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible
    So by looks of specs here and specs of my computer and the game is like 4 years old, it should fly on my computer.
    I googled a bit more and i saw that every program reads only Intel HD graphic card and not AMD. Ok so i went and checked tutorilas on youtube how to switch it and there is where my suprise was. When i open CCC as per everyone on internet i dont have Switchable Graphic option - only Power Play. So i read on your website that some computers need to be set in BIOS from Dynamic which was my original setting to FIXED. I did that to but my option when i right click on desktop for switchable graphics disaper and my CCC is not working.
    Ok so i went to your website again, was looking for original drivers for my computer. And there are 3 drivers.
    1.AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver
    2.AMD/Intel Switchable High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
    3.Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
    Ok so when i download them, i can install only No.1, other two i get message that i dont have minimum requirements.
    so i checked those to, and it says that  you need to have windows 7 which i have since i got this laptop with original licensed product.
    The thing is when i install new version of AMD driver and CCC i get switchable graphics option when i right-click on desktop, but when i get in in CCC i get defoult page and there is no option to switch. When i update intel graphics i loose switching. Either way, it wont work, and im stuck with crappy card that i cant use on bunch of programs and games that i need it for.
    So please for once give us a bit detailed answer on how we can fix this. Because it is not only me that have this problem, alot of people are having them and they still cant fix this.
    Sorry for my lenghty post, but i thought i needed to explain in more debth.
    Thanks in front for reading and takning time to answer.

    And yea i forgot one thing. When ever i instal newer version of AMD driver in Device manager it changes from AMD HD 6490M to AMD HD 7400M Series. Dont know why it constatnly does that.

  • Switchable graphics not working on windows 10

    Model: HP Pavilion dm4-1024TXI currently upgraded my Operating System from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have issues with switchable graphics. Iam not able to use My graphics card(ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series). Updated driver using windows update and even tried updating from ADM website, Still doesn't work. Right now iam unable to use any graphics intensive applications.      Will HP provide Switchable Graphics Driver  Windows 10 update for my laptop model?Is there any fix for this issuse?Or should i Revert Back to Windows 7

    Hi, I had the same problem on my HP laptop and finally figured out a solution.  1. I downloaded the Windows 7 version of the drivers from the HP website (make sure it's the hp version not the generic amd driver). 2. Uninstalled the drivers that were installed. Type in Device Manager, select Update Devices then display adapters, right click and uninstall both devices.3. Reboot4. Install the intel driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode5. Unzip the AMD exe file using 7zip 6. Go into Device Manager again, right click on the AMD graphics adapter, Update Driver software, Browse computer, Let me pick, Have disk. Browse to the AMD folder and find the INF file that works.7. Reboot Now I can use an external monitor. Catalyst control panel doesn't work, but I can do what I need to do.  

  • Windows 7 RTM x64 Power Manager and switchable graphics not working

    Installed Windows 7 RTM x64 on my T400. After windows update and installing Lenovo's drivers, everything is accounted for. ATI graphics works fine, and I can see the Intel graphics on the shortcut menu. I just cannot manually switch to the built-in graphics, nor did I see the Power Manager. What do I need to do? I have installed the drivers for the power management, even though on the list of driver on lenovo's webpage it says it's only for SL models.

  • Mac Mini Graphics Not Working Properly

    I have two Mac Minis (a July 2009 model and a June 2010 model) that have recently began having video problems. 
    The problem started on my newer machine which has two Samsung monitors attached, sometime after the last Snow Leopard update. 
    Last week, the second, older machine which is connected to only a Panasonic LCD HDTV, began having the same issue. 
    The problem is that the actual screen resolution being run does not match the settings in the System Preferences.   It looks like the graphics controller is actually running at 640x480 or 800x600 or something where everything is big but the OS (Snow Leopard or Lion) still thinks it is running at 720p or some other high resolution.  So the OS reports that everything is fine even though it is very obvious, things are not OK.
    When I move the mouse to the side the desktop scrolls around on the screen.  it is like having a window into my desktop.
    Changing the screen resolution in Hardware-Displays does not work nor does the detect display button.  On the TV for instance, the Displays panel reports 720p even though it is clear that what is on the screen is nowhere near 720p.  It makes videos on the TV look really bad and it makes it hard to navigate around the desktop.  I can't even fit the entire browser into the sceen. 
    I had hoped that upgrading to Lion on the machine hooked to the TV would fix the problem, but It did not.  Lion displays the same problem.  I have not tried putting Lion on the newer Mac Mini yet. 
    I did find a workaround for the newer one with the Samsung displays – by using fast user switching, sometimes the proper graphics resolution will come up right on the second or third try/user.  And if I do get it working properly and the monitor goes to sleep, it will screw the resolution up again when it wakes up, even if it was working properly before.  I have temporarily turned off sleep but this is not a good option for me. 
    Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong or how I could fix it?
    Thanks!
    Patrick T.

  • Intel HD 4600 - Switchable Graphics not Switching

    HP,
    My laptop is currently up to date with your software (9.18.10.3324) for Intel HD 4600, however - not up to date with Intel's Iris drivers (15.33.22.64.3621) - what gives?
    My current issue is attempting to load DayZ using the ATI (in Switchable Graphcis Settings) High Performance Settings, which i've set everything to default to "High performance" but it defaults to software settings (Intel HD 4600) instead of the builtin AMD Radeon HD 8600/8700M. I've attempted to disable hybrid graphics in BIOS, which takes away the option for the AMD chip once i return back to windows so that was a dead end. I've attempted to add the applciation as "high performance", which did nothing. I've attempted to update my outdated drivers to Intel's release but they don't "match my system"
    How can I disable the Intel HD 4600 so the only video card running on this laptop is the Dedicated Graphics Card?

  • Intel HD graphics not working?

    Hi, I have a really strange error that developed yesterday, in September I purchased a 15" core i7 macbook pro high res glossy and its well.. being very strange.
    I havent had any problems up to now but for some reason I now get no grey screen when I turn on the machine but I do get a chime and just a black screen until it boots up osx. When I go to shut down the computer the screen goes black for a second and there is a small white box in the top left corner then it goes totally black and shuts down. At the same time as that error happening I have been having issues in safari, if I try to run anything full screen it crashes and goes unresponsive, I installed the graphics card switching app to see if there might a been a problem there and for some reason it will only use the discreet 330m and wont switch at all.
    I have tried 2 different hard drives just to make sure that it wasnt a bad installation but the same problem exits regardless, I am quite new to macs and this is really confusing me, I have reset the PRAM and the SMC but still nothing, I pressed D after the chime when the screen is black but I am unable to enter the hardware test but it may be running and I wouldnt be able to see.
    Does this mean that the HD graphics provided by intel have been damaged or disabled??
    Does anyone know what the problem might be ??
    Really confused
    Thanks in advance

    I have the exact same problem. Just got my MacBook Pro 15" with i7 2.8Ghz and the high resolution display.
    I was able to notice that this is due Intel HD failing. If I check with gfxCardStatus v1.8.1 NVidia card is always selected and whenever I try to force Intel I get the following messages in system log:
    *gfxCardStatus[122] Setting Intel only...*
    *gfxCardStatus[122] setMuxState was successful.*
    *gfxCardStatus[122] setMuxState returned 0xe00002bc.*

    *gfxCardStatus[122] setMuxState was successful.*
    *gfxCardStatus[122] getMuxState was successful (count=1, value=0x00000000).*

    *gfxCardStatus[122] Updating process list...*
    *gfxCardStatus[122] We're using the NVIDIA® card, but no process requires it. An external monitor may be connected, or we may be in NVIDIA® Only mode.*
    It is clear that it is failing due +Inconsistent menu state and active card+ I could not have it to work by reseting SMC or PRAM. Clues?

  • Hotspot links on graphics not working when you Zoom.

    Just noticed something.
    When I have a graphic, jpeg or a .gif, and create hotspot for links out to other website, they don't work when the viewer zooms his browser.
    Is this normal? is there anything I can do about it.
    It was not an issue until super large screen have been coming out and people are going to start zooming within Safari etc...thanks.

    Murray makes a good point about "how small" the number is anymore.  (see attached) Mac is still a minority of the PC market, but in the last five years, they have more than doubled their share, and with iTunes, and now Safari running on Windows, the number of "what appears to be" Mac users is climbing as well.
    Case in point. My dad. He's 72, and only started using Windows about six years ago. There's no way he'll ever buy a Mac. He's got enough on his plate just trying to learn XP at this stage. But... he used to listen to jazz on Radio@AOL. I showed him iTunes, and the radio it has. AOL offers one station, or at least dad could only find one. iTunes radio has more than 100, and several different types of jazz. So he's a Mac product user now, even though he's on a PC.
    Same with Safari. I got him to switch to Firefox a few years back, but I also put Safari 4 on his new machine earlier this year and I showed him how it works. He likes the panoramic top sites view, because he can choose his favorite news sites from there by looking at the page in the preview. Now he's adding to the stats for Safari users... again without a Mac.
    You're right about losing even one customer to a perceived faulty site design, even if it's their browser that makes it look that way. The notion is "Hey, if I can't even get into his site, how can I be sure he knows what he's doing as a photographer?" Then even if they do get a hold of you, and hire you they may be skeptical of your work.  I've been there. It cost me a few hundred bucks. I can't afford that again.

    It depends on how much you'd like to spend. If you want it secure and
    use authentication you can look at an solution involving Novell Access
    Manager. If you have less money to spend maybe just a simple NAT on
    your bordermanager to your webserver and thats it.

  • Drawing lines on MkmapView using Core Graphics not working in iOS 4.2

    We are drawing lines on MKMapView using follwing link The Reluctant Blogger : Drawing polyines or routes on a MKMapView (as an MKAnnotationView) – Part 2
    This uses Core Grpahics to draw lines on Mkmapview. This solution is working fine up to iOS 4.1. But when we use same class on iOS 4.2, it does'nt draw lines on the Mkmapview.
    Please advise.

    Mate,
    I have more or less the same problem. Trouble is I updated both my iPhone 4 and the iPad 3 to IOS 6 (wish I'd only done one of them). Basically, both initially had trouble getting into the home sharing on my iTunes. Seems to work after a couple of goes or killing the music app and relaunching. But doing some strange things once running. Same as you, the artists tab is not correct, it pulls a few of them in but I'd say 90% are missing! Playlists and songs seem ok. iPad 3 prob behaves worse than the iPhone 4, sometimes you see the music tracks when in a playlist changing at the top like (hard to explain) but killing the music app and relaunching tends to fix this.
    And don't get me started on the videos home sharing. So hit and miss with the album artwork, sometimes they show correctly but often there are lots of incorrect ones and random stuff shown. In my TV shows shared library it even came up on the iPad with album artwork for some of my songs. Bizarre.
    So I think IOS 6 has made a bit of a mess of home sharing. Going in the opposite direction and using the 'remote app' to browse my iTunes library seems to display normally.
    Bit dissapointed with IOS 6. No more streetview in maps, erratic home sharing. Seems more of a downgrade than an upgrade to me. I know Apple are very big on new features etc but I'd rather see them trying to fix the bugs on their exisiting features than doing this. I mean did we really need an IOS 6? IOS 5 seemed to be ticking along ok, bugs still existed so why not focus on these.
    Cheers

  • Safari display and graphics not working / all jarbled

    When I open the Safari browser on my iMac, it is displaying something like this:
    The website will open fine, but then on the bottom this string of history / bookmarks will open and then sometimes they go away.  It is very annoying. Any thoughts?

    Use Recovery Manager to restore your software and drivers, and see if that resolves your issue. Perhaps the recovery last weekend wasn't 100% successful.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Thank you!

  • After Microsoft updates, some website graphics not working

    Last night before I switched off Microsoft sent through eleven(!) updates.
    Every site I've visited this morning now has no banner heading, I can't use any of the underlining/bold or the smilies on anywhere, and on a couple of sites my Avatar has gone.
    What can I do?
    I've tried logging out and logging in again, but nothing seems to help?
