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?
Thanks,
Keiko

i have the same problem my system is around the same

    and in system report >> hardware >> Graphics/Display >> it shows both grafics card listed.

    Some Mac's when the RAM is increased the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics will bump itself up to the higher video RAM it takes, this seems to be what occured.
    It also means the dedicated graphics card will be used less, but only so slightly less.
    You obviously still should have both, you can test this by turning off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver, that will use the decicated AMD card all the time.
    You can also run Cinebench and compare the scores here

  • 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.

    Hi: The only suggestion I can offer would be to try manually installing the windows 7 graphics driver from your notebook's support and driver page. If that doesn't work then there is no solution that I know of. Here is a post from another forum member with the same gpu and I tried helping him to no avail. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/problem-with-HDMI/m-p/5162972#M302151 He did not reply back to let me know if the W7 driver worked or not.   

  • 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 switchable graphic cards after installing windows 10

    Dear support, after installing windows 10 i lost option to switch my graphic cards. I already have installed new drivers for win10 64-bit. But it doesn't work. New drivers which i downloaded here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+10+-+64 doesn't support my graphic card. So i don't know what to do to get right drivers and be able to switch my graphic cards. Thanks for any help.

    Hi there 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you installed Windows 10 and that switchable graphics is not working for you. I am happy to help. Unfortunately this is not something that AMD can help with, as it is a customized driver for your notebook. Did you do the Windows 10 installation as an upgrade and if so which operating system did you upgrade from? The existing HP drivers can be found here: HP Pavilion g6-1004ev Notebook PC but they are for Windows 7 or 8 depending on your choices. You could try those and install it using compatibility mode and see if that works. How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 - answers.microsoft.com Let me know if that works for you.

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

    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 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.

  • Mid-2012 RMBPro 10.9.4: Is it possible to switch between graphic cards?  Activity monitor shows the high perf card always active even through no running apps need it.

    How does one switch between graphics cards on a RMB Pro that has both a regular and high performance card installed?

    There's no control built into OS X to manually switch between them (that I know of). But in your Energy Saver preferences, there is setting called Automatic Graphics Switching that will either keep the discrete GPU on all the time, or automatically switch it off when not in use. Do you already have this preference turned on?
    It might keep the high performance graphics card on if it's plugged into AC power, since there is no battery life penalty in that case.

  • 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

    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?

  • Problem with new graphic card Geforce GT 610 installed in HP Pavilion a6710in

    I have recently installed the nVidia GeForce GT 610 graphic card. The problem faced by me is especially during playing games, the screen goes black and PC restarts but it works fine with rest of the things. I have disabled the integrated video card as would be if new video card is installed. The problem is still unclear... so please if anyone can help me out with this...

    The GT 610 requires a minimum of a 300 watt system power supply and your computer came from the factory with a 250 watt power supply. When playing games, it is very possible that the card draws more current than the 250 watt PSU can supply. This would cause the computer to crash, go blank, and/or reboot. Please upgrade the power to at least 300 watts.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Laptop problem - screen or graphics card

    Hello there, my sister has a problem with her laptop that I'm having trouble getting my head around. She told me last week that the screen on her laptop had started going black unexpectedly, not having the thing with me I thought maybe it was just going into standby but she says it goes black randomly, sometimes whilst in use. I then thought it may be a screen problem (backlight etc) as she then told me that when it went black she could still see the display if she looked at it in good light. This screamed backlight problem until I got here to plug it into an external monitor and the same thing happened.
    Since I last spoke to her the problem seems to have gotten worse, she says the screen flickers on and off, sometimes staying on sometimes not. It used to come back on by pressing the power button but this no longer works either.
    I'm a bit stuck as to whether its screen or graphics card related now, any ideas anyone? The laptop is an hp pavilion dv6552ea.

    You can tell screen problems from graphics card problems by hooking the computer to an external monitor. If the problem is the same on an external monitor, then the problem is the video card. If not, it is the screen. Since the problem shows up on the external monitor it is the video card which is par for the course on that series of models with AMD CPU and nVidia graphics.

  • CCC and AMD graphics card failed after updating driver

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 6c-32eg laptop. 
    I recently tried to update my GPU driver, as this was required to run a particular program (oclHashcat, if you're interested). I downloaded the installer from here, and ran it. It appeared to run fine, but after the required restart, the screen resolution was set to 800x600, instead of the usual 1366x768. I then recieved an error message saying something along the lines of "Your AMD driver could not be installed as you do not have the required hardware". In Device Manager the GPU had something like "windows has stopped usinig this device as it reported an error". 
    If I try to open CCC, the program runs for several minutes, with a relatively high CPU usage shown in Task Manager, and then the message " Catalyst Control Center: Host Application has stopped working". 
    I have now tried various different methods of fixing this problem, none of which have worked. Attempting to download a driver from the AMD website didn't work, as the website said the driver was not appropriate for a computer with switchable graphics. 
    My laptop does not appear to be using the AMD GPU, as trying to run any games as a test causes them to run slowly and with minimal resolution. 
    My laptop has dual (switchable, from CCC) graphics:
    -An AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT card, with a driver version 8.882.2.3000, and date 30/09/2011. 
    -And Intel HD Graphics Family, with, apparently, the same driver version and date as above. I am unable to find out exactly what kind of Intel GPU it is. 
    I also tried to update the Intel graphics driver, to see if this would fix the problem at all, but it made it worse: the screen became very red, and low resolution. I fixed this by reverting to a system restore point made just before. Sadly, I did not think to do this before originally updating drivers. 
    My question, then, is: how to I regain full usage of both graphics cards?

    Hi,
    There may be a 3rd party option you could try for a more updated set of gpu drivers, however I'd first suggest getting your system back to a state where the switchable graphics function correctly.
    Try the System Restore first.
    If that doesn't work, the AMD driver package ( containing both gpu drivers ) you require can be downloaded from HP on the following link.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55092.exe
    Regarding being able to find a more updated set of drivers, a lot of people with your type of switchable graphics have had success with the offerings on the following 3rd party website - I would strongly recommend reading the Manual first to get an understanding of how this works and why driver signing enforcement will need to be disabled in order to load these drivers.
