I have a dv6t quad w/ radeon 6770 switchable graphics. I know there is a fix, but is there another?

I un and re-installed my graphics drivers, and it worked, but on some occasions.  I was wondering if there was a more permanent solution?  If there isn't, can I send my laptop out to the manufacturer so they can take a look at it, or possibly replace my laptop?  This problem is really bugging me.

If this helps you feel better..I've bought my dv7 with i7 2670qm and 8gigs of ram and 6770m and 1tb od disk..It did sound like "woah all those specs for like 1000eur?" and of course I bought it. Oh yeah and the beats audio. Beats my behind. It's IDT audio with beats logo on it. Anyways I've expected more of the switchable graphics aswell, but my lenovo y570 beats the dv7 like nothing. But let's put it like that. I didn't give up on my dv7 just because I had few HP computers in the past and they were top sh*t and I don't want that to change.
btw, to make you feel even better...When I turn on the fixed graphic mode in BIOS, my pc freezes when it comes in windows. So I'm stuck at youtube low quality videos, windowed mode for bf3, and even my call of duty 2 (the 95' version) uses ONLY the intel hd3000.
Some would agree that my life sucks, but I didn't give up on HP just yet(although I do sincerely hope I'll get a replacement soon )

  • OpenGL3.3+ Update? Edit: Radeon HD6490M switchable graphics driver update Windows 7?

    So I recently purchased a game that requires me to run OpenGL3.3 or more. Currently I can do OpenGL3.1, and after poking around some I see no reason why my graphics cards couldn't support it. Do I need to download something for OpenGL, or do my drivers need to be updated? (HP Support says they don't but I'm skeptical). Any help/advice is appreciated. Also, I was poking around this old question, but couldn't do squat with it... quite new at all this after all... Edit: I've been looking more, and it seems that the answer would be an updated graphics driver. The problem is, I'm not sure if there is one (Again, HP Support, etc. says I don't need one...). I have a dv6t-6100, with Radeon HD 6490M switchable graphics on Windows 7, 64-bit. It sounds like others have had luck updating their drivers just by the virtue of running on Windows 8 rather than 7. Any suggestions, work-arounds, other drivers that might similarly work for me?

    So after updating to Windows 10, what I was trying to do originally works now that my video drivers have finally updated. Doesn't solve the original problem exactly, and I continue to wonder why HP kept me in the dark on these updates...

  • Hello !, can i install Mac OSX Lion to my PC (not mac)  i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?

    Hello Guys

    i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?
    please answer .......

    Teknus...  Here's the issue.  For starters, I understand software licensing issues may not be interpreted the same in all countries (although they are still applicable).  I also understand that everyone is not familiar with what software licensing is.  It is technically possible to install OS X on a PC (as you have seen on your friends computer).  However, Apple has designed OS X to only work on Macs.  In order to get OS X to work on a PC, it must be modified ("hacked").  As these forums are owned by Apple, we are not permitted to provide you with instructions on how to hack their OS.
    Having said that, I have used OS X on PCs.  It is not a pleasant experience at all.  The experience is actually poor enough on a PC that I would not even use it... opting for Windows or Linux instead.  You're simply sacrificing too much of the true OS X experience when you try to run it on standard PC hardware.  If you want to try  a different operating system, give Linux a try.  There are many free versions out there and they will run on just about any PC.  The forums are also very helpful.  Linux is much more similar to OS X than Windows.
    I understand that Macs are expensive and that you would like to use OS X on a PC.  The simple fact is that using it on a PC would not be the same as using it on a Mac.

     See Bernhards reply #1 above regarding Corsair PSU. If you want or might need more power for future if needed then TX650 or TX750 would also be good choices. I have a TX450 that has been used on all of my systems at one time or another for several years and if you are lucky enough to find one of those it would also be a very good choice but that is a discontinued item and hard to find now. Antec has some good ones and some that are garbage and I would avoid them as you never know what kind of quality you end up with.
     All MB are build to standard specs as far as hardware compatibility (PCIe/PCI slot spacing etc.) so there should be no problem there. Limitation can be in the size of the case front to back where the length of the card could be a problem but not the MB itself.
    Intel G31PR, are you sure it's not a DG31PR? If so there's nothing on tha MB that would interfere with using the 560 GTX judging from the picture I looked at.

  • Radeon HD 8750m switchable graphics driver BY HP is not working on Windows 8.1

    Hello all,
    I have  laptop Envy 6-1200el.
    It's a good machin but I have always been annoyed by video drivers trouble.
    When I bought my PC last year it worked good when we had Windows 8, but the video drivers didn't work properly already there.
    The drivers made troubles when I tryed to start some 3D applications as Batman: Arkham Asylum. The problem was the HP video driver. That driver is made by Radeon HD drivers plus Intel HD 4000 series all together.
    To make the two video cards working together properly you cannot use intel driver installation first then the AMD catalyst installation utility, but you need a driver installation utility that installs the two video cards both, otherwise the switchable graphics will not work properly and 3D applications won't start.
    When I had Windows 8.1 update I had absolutely to find a new driver. I downloaded the automatic utility from AMD site and luckily it downloaded an updated driver that was including and installing together both the video cards properly. Since there my laptop started to work very good in everithing.
    Some days ago I had to format my PC and that good video driver got lost.
    I installed almost everithing including windows 8.1 update but I sadly discovered that on AMD site it was downloadable only the Radeon HD driver not including any more switchable graphics installation and Intel HD driver.
    I have now installed the video driver given by HP on the right laptop portal, but this driver IS SO BAD!!!
    HP says that it's an update driver working properly on Windows 8.1 but it's false!
    MY PC WITH THAT HP DRIVER IS MAKING MANY TROUBLES:
    - 3D GAMES ARE NOT STARTING OR NOT WORKING PROPERLY;
    - PASSING THE MOUSE ON THE NEW START BUTTON ON WINDOWS 8.1, THE BUTTON BECOMES BLACK!
    - HP UTILITY CENTER IS NOT OPENING;
    - HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY;
    - THE SYNAPTICS MOUSE DRIVER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY, THE DOUBLE TOUCH DOESN'T WORK ETC.;
    - iNTEL DRIVERS INCLUDED ON THAT HP PACKAGE ARE OLD;
    - SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS DOESN'T WORK GOOD AND IS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME 3D CHARGES TO THE RIGHT CARD.
    PLEASE HP RELEASE AN UPDATE! pLEASE MAKE A REAL COMPLETE DRIVER THAT IS REALLY ACTUAL AND IS REALLY WORKING ON WINDOWS 8.1 WITHOUT CONFLICTS, WITHOUT GRAPHICS ERRORS ETC.!!!
    THIS SITUATION IS UNACCETTABLE, SOLVE IT PLEASE!

    Hi Fotoji,
    I want to be honest, it's very disappointing for me to be treated like a child.
    You should know that most of the people you meet here in this forum are not n00bs and the causes you suggest to consider haveall already been excluded in every way you would try yourself too!
    The fact you say, that the issues are caused by a 'broken OS' are so disappointing and unbelievable!
    I work in IT field since I was 14yo and now I am a graduated 28 who knows very well how to handle a PC in a clean and smart way.
    Look, many of these issues was already 'on' when I bought and started my PC for the very FIRST TIME.
    The video drivers needed are auto-installing drivers containing intel and AMD video drivers both and installed together at the same time.
    The first day I had my PC the system was VIRGIN, I simply installed steam then ran 'Batman:Arkham Asylum' to make a try, it has never ran up, no matter if the OS is W8 or W8.1, no matter if the PC is new or used for 6 months, that driver has never worked good.
    I tryed many things, used HP recovery manager several times in order to make a clean OS new installation, but it always went like that.
    Recently I sent my computer to HP Italy fro an hardisk problem, replaced in warranty. The laptop came back CLEAN, perfect, with W8.1 and all the new recent drivers.
    The problem was the same, games did not run or ran badly, the start symbol was black, HP Utility Center didn't work.
    So tell me where's the magic when I unistall in a CLEAN AND CORRECT way those video drivers, why EVERITHING COMES TO WORK SO GOOD BACK????
    Some months ago I knew that those drivers where so bad so I tryed to download the original driver package from AMD site, hoping that they was including the intel video drivers both, and guess...IT WORKED!
    Those drivers was including the intel video drivers too during installation, then after a restart I had NO GRAPHICS ERROR, NO HP UTILITY CENTER FREEZE, ANY GAME OR 3D APPLICATION WORKED AT LEAST 2x FASTER AND NOT ANY COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM IN ANY STATE OR SITUATION.
    Unfortunately my laptop started to have maybe some motherboard power problems and my HDD passed away then HP took my pc and fixed it.
    When it came back it was perfect again, virgin, with all the update installed, with those bad HP drivers installed again, so with all those problems that I found since I bought it: graphics error, compatibility problems, some programs freeze, all WHITOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING!!!
    I knew that I would solve it just downloading the right drivers directly from AMD site but UNLUCKILY THE NEW CATALYST 14.4 DIDN'T INCLUDE THE INTEL VIDEO DRIVER ANY MORE.
    I had all those compatibility, stability and graphics problems always with a just-formatted computer with all the updates installed, a virgin untouched machine just formatted completely automatically using HP recovery manager or fixed by your engeneers!!!
    The only case everithing worked very good was when I used the original AMD's drivers, when these used to inclued the intel graphics drivers too during AUTO-INSTALLATION.
    I am replying now using a just-formatted machine automatically and perfectly just using HPRECOVERY MANAGER,and updated using WINDOWS UPDATE and HP SUPPORT CENTER self updater.
    So guess what???? When I uninstall in A CORRECT WAY your HP video drivers (doesn't matter if the new one or the oldest) everything works good back, and when I used original AMD drivers everything worked so good.
    It's so hard to do something wrong about it, the driver installation utility are IDIOT-PROOF, you cannot do anything during installation except for clicking the RESTART button.
    So AMD used to make perfect drivers and now not any more, sadly, every issue disappears without your driver installed, HP sent me a perfect virgin computer with the same issues.
    So please, don't tell me that AMD is able to make better software, don't tell me HP is not able to handle a recovery and sent me a pc with the same issues, don't tell me I probably made a bad use of my VIRGIN laptop after years spent on SGI workstations UNIX based.
    I know how to keep a pc clean, and I'm telling you something more: the new synaptics mousepad driver package you are giving from HP website and HP support center DOESN'T WORK GOOD TOO!!!
    Once you accept the auto update it starts with the self installation, but after the restart gess what?? The double toe gesture used to simulate the right click doesn't work any more!!!
    No matter if you try to change any option in the control panel, no matter if you have windows 8 or 8.1, just try to unistall that and reinstall the old synaptics mouse driver and, OH WOW MAGIC, IT WORKS GOOD BACK AGAIN!!!
    So now what?
    Are you thinking that HP engeneers who fixed my laptop wasn't able to re-install windows and drivers?
    The IT engineers working for HP are maybe also n00bs that can't handle a pc format and send me a BROKEN OS as you said?
    I am magically breaking my os system just clicking one time on clean automatic HP recovery button then click on the automatic update buttons twice????
    Perhaps AMD is able to make more stable end recent drivers than HP does???
    (considering that aven the last HP graphics drivers update is so bad because the intel side of the package is very old and you can recognize it just making a comparison with the new intel additional control panel!)
    I don't need to recover the system for the 4th time in a proper way (plus HP fix would be the 5th!), I know these silly things.
    I need to be taken seriously and not be treated like a grandmother who's not able to switch-on a smartphone!
    I would challenge anyone to operate on my computer and try to solve it using Teamviewer and HP's drivers!
    I think I've been quite hard nut hopefully clear, so please do something more than giving me a manual fro grannies.
    Thank you.

  • Windows 8.1 and AMD radeon HD 6700m switchable graphics on HP pavilion dv7

    Hello all
    First would like to give positive feedback because my former problem was solved here but this thing appears again.
    I have HP pavilion dv 7
    i7 -2670QM (2.20ghz)
    (8 GB Ram)
    Windows 8.1
    So my problem is with the switchable graphic as it is stated in the subject.
    I had windows 7 previously and I had no problems with switchable graphics-
    When I bought licenced win 8 the problems started and are continuing in my 8.1 upgrade.
    I tried several thing, from turning off switchable mode in BIOS, turn it off in win desktop, uninstalling drivers or blocking drivers and it still doesn't help
    It's a shame that with a computer like this I can't play a bit better games that I was able to when I had win7.
    The main problem is that when the game instals it checks your computer and tell you if it's ok or not-and everytime I get that I have intel HD3000 graphics. and not AMD radeon hd 6700m graphic card.
    Can anybody tells me how to fix this thing? I don't have any problems in display adapter-all drivers are good to go, i have the latest amd catalyst software.
    It would be a shame to buy win 8 if 7 was good and better working on this issue.
    Thank you for help

    Hello again GregaSlo,
    It is good to hear from you again!
    To prevent your system from crashing, and gain access to your fingerprint reader, I recommend performing a backup and recovery of your system's operating system. This can be done by following this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should help recover your system back to factory defaults.

  • Imac with radeon x 1600 graphics card will not send signal to projector

    I am using an Imac running Boot Camp. The Imac has a Radeon X 1600 graphics card. I have installed the latest driver in XP. The Device manager recognizes the correct card.
    The problem: I cannot get our projector to pick up the signal from the Imac. I have systematically gone through all the display settings. Others who have similar problems seem to have graphics cards with additional software that allows them to select a clone display feature.
    Any thoughts? The projector works fine with a macbook running bootcamp (xp).

    Hi Cathy and welcome to Discussions,
    sounds to me as if you are missing the Catalyst Control Center, which usually provides these kinds of setting.
    You can download both Drivers and the Control Center from the ATI/AMD website here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/mac/bootcamp-xp.html
    The Control Center needs a Windows where the .NET Framework (2.0 at least) is already installed before installing the Control Center, otherwise it does not work.
    You can download that from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd -aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
    Hope it helps.

  • Switchable graphics AMD Radeon HD 6620G/AMD RADEON HD 7670M

    I have notebook HP Pavilion dv6-6c05er with integrated in CPU graphics AMD Radeon HD 6620G. It also have AMD RADEON HD 7670M but i cannot switch between them. This is only possible with drivers that was made in 2011. Now 2014. And this is not an isolated case. There is solution for the similar problem with AMD/Intel graphics, but nothing for AMD/AMD...
    This situation persists for the second year. How long will it last?

    Hello, @Maxim4ik163 
    I see that you have an issue with the switchable graphics running on your notebook. I will try to clarify this.
    All information can be located in this document: Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Dual AMD GPUs
    I will start with this " i cannot switch between them", if you're referring to switching manually you cannot do this. The graphics aren't meant for you to just switch them at will. The act of the switching is done automatically and only when the application and situation requires.
    What does that mean?
    With your notebook, this means that the graphics being used will only switch from intergrated to dedicated if required. With this notebook, that won't actually happen often. This explains why:
    This feature is working as intended. The intended behavior of the dual AMD GPU configuration will vary depending on the application:
    DirectX 9 applications (such as Street Fighter IV) only use one graphics processor at a time, even though two graphics processors are available. When a discrete graphics processor is paired with an A4-series integrated graphics processor, then data is rendered by the discrete graphics processor. When a discrete graphics processor is paired with an A6/A8-series integrated graphics processor, then data is rendered by the integrated one because it performs better than the discrete in this scenario.
    DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 applications use both graphics processors simultaneously to render data.
    OpenGL applications use the integrated graphics processors only.
    To add to that, your notebook runs on an A8 series CPU. This means that the only time you will ever use discrete is with DX10 and DX11. When that is happening the applications will only reflect the intergrated graphics.
    Anything else is explained in the document.
    Now as for the driver, unfortunately to my knowledge the only one that works for this setup is what's provided on the HP site. This as you say is out of date. When or if there will be an update (so that applications requesting you to update can run), I don't have that information.
    If you still have questions about how this works or the drivers, I recommend contacting phone support.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

  • Radeon HD 6490m Switchable Graphics Problems

    Hello.
    My notebook has been really sluggish lately, especially when browsing the internet, gaming or photo editing. It started a few weeks ago... never had any problems before. I didn't install any new programs, updates or drivers, so I don't know what caused it.
    I did a clean install of  Windows 7-64bit last night and got all the drivers from HP support. It was still being sluggish, so I disabled hardware acceleration on Chrome and ie11 and that solved the problem on those two programs.. but the rest is still being slow (even the mouse pointer is lagging). So I'm thinking the problem has to do with the graphics card (?).It's a Radeon HD 6490m (switchable w/ Intel HD Graphics).
    I have my power option set to High Performance and the switchable graphics set to High Performance GPU. Are there any other settings I could tweak? Or a compatible driver I could try?
    Thanks

    Hi @johnw80 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7-6179us Entertainment Notebook and issues with performance lags. Thank you for all the information about what is happening and what you have done thus far. Something is slowing the Notebook down. Did you install some virus protection or a firewall? If you disable the virus software,  are your speeds better.
    Here is a document on improving your system.
    Try seeing what is active in the task manager, ctrl +alt+ del   see what is running.
    If that does not help at the end of this document it shows you to do a hardware test. The final thing you should try is to reload the factory BIOS settings.
    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. It will make sure all your updates have been completed.
    Please let me know.
