I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?

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

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Does it have updates for mac?

I have a MacBook Pro 13 Inch with Intel Core i7 and Intel HD Graphics 3000. I was just wondering do they get updates for the Intel HD Graphics 3000?
Thanks

Right. And you may never see anything called Intel Graphics Update, because very often Apple will roll such things into a general OS update and not specify its contents in any detail.

Will Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB graphics support 2560x1600 resolution?

We bought a new Mac Mini and are trying to run a LaCie 730 display but it is only allowing us to use 1280x800 resolution. Can this graphics card go any higher? Thunderbolt? Any information will be helpful, thank you.

Thank you for your help. The Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter supports up to 1920 x 1200, to display resolution higher than 1920 x 1200, the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter is needed.

Macbook pro 8,1 Intel HD Graphics 3000 update in bootcamp?

I have a mackbook pro 8,1 with a Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB graphics chip in it, I was wondering if i could get driver updates for it in windows mode using bootcamp?

Hello, I thought it was not recommended to update the Inte HD graphics drivers using Intel's drivers and it was recommended to wait for Apple's version of the drivers ?
I have a MBP late 2011 with an Intel HD 3000 (running Lion and Win7 via Bootcamp) and never updated the drivers myself but I don't know either if they were ever updated by Apple. I can find exe files to download from Intel and that I could run on Bootcamp but I have no idea what it will end up doing, will it update it also for MacOS (like update the firmware or something) or will I have let's say driver version 1 on MacOS and driver version 2 on Win7 (for example) ?
Here is the page where I found drivers :
http://www.focus-home.com/support/BB/?lang=fr#Q5
Apple is a bit obscure on this and being a gamer it's a bit of a frustration. Did you or anyone else already update themselves through Win7 or MacOS the drivers ?
Thanks for your help !
(Sorry for hijacking the thread but it's a similar issue I think and might help the OP or other people maybe).

Update graphics card Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB

i would like better garphics what sould i get or what ?? 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)thats what i have

Go to the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More information for details.
All newer CPU's have the Intel 4000 integrated graphics, however if you got the 15" then it also has dedicated graphics and it switches to either as the need arises.
So you have both.
What I suspect is Apple is going to eventually go all CPU graphics as soon as the processors get strong enough as it's less expensive to produce.
Only Windows 3D gaming towers will soon have dedicated graphics the way things are going. The MacPro hasn't be updated in ages.

Hi p,
If you mean software, go to the Apple menu and select Software Update.
If you mean the actual hardware GPU, that is soldered onto the logic board and is not upgradeable.

Intel HD Graphics 3000/2000 (Sandybridge) Windows 10 Graphics Driver support ?

Do you know if the Intel HD Graphics 3000/2000 (Sandybridge) is supported on Windows 10?
According to http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-034343.htm there is no support for Intel Graphics HD 3000 for Windows 10.
Thanks,

According to the link (footnote 2) that cards drivers were only supported in "legacy mode" (compatibility) even in win 8.1. It may do the same in win 10 and the only way to find it is to try it
To install in compatibility mode do the following:
Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS

HT203254 Macbook pro 15. Intel HD Graphics 3000/ AMD Radeon HD 6490M. Screen seems 'solarized'/pixellated at startup. disappears after 30 minutes. Any idea of cause and cure?

New Machine in Mar 2011. OS version 10.6.8
All software updates installed via Automatic update.
Screen has a 'solarized' look on start up, which disappears after about 30 mins, suggesting a 'warm up' issue?
Am aware of Nvidia issues with Macbook pro but this machine has the following graphics/display on logic board.
Does anyone have a view on this matter and a way of resolving it? Still under extended warranty.

You said the magic words: Still under extended warranty. Take it in for evaluation and repair. That is not a normal situation. The display should not have to 'warm up'.

[SOLVED] StarCraft 2 flickering w/ mesa / intel HD graphics 3000

I'm using mesa 8.0.4 and Intel HD Graphics 3000, wine 32-bit and -opengl and force_s3tc_enable=true
It flickers on ground in lighter colors and over the screen in triangles, also sometimes green color is over the screen, it depends on the map and the colors of the map.
I will try to take a video.
UPDATE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsaEd-dTAlQ <-- this is one of the artifacts/flickering, it looks very much like this. I can get the same SCV flickers in campaign !
I've never experienced this before, I am not sure if it's caused by an update by mesa or StarCraft 2.
Mesa/Intel HD 3000 however runs StarCraft 2 fine, but this problem really has ruined my game within a short period of time, I feel really epileptic !

I think I found a fix, haven't tested thoroughly yet though ... Since I reinstalled StarCraft 2 and deleted my .wine directory, the registry keys for graphics tweaking was also gone.
I re-created:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"Multisampling"="disabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="readtex"
"StrictDrawOrdering"="disabled"
"UseGLSL"="disabled"
As told here:
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
NOTE: UseGLSL is special and is only needed for video cards like mine (Intel HD Graphics 3000) that forces s3tc like explained here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … r_Problems
And it seems to work ...
I think I have to remove VideoMemory all together, because my StarCraft 2 has crashed 2 times now complaining about low video memory - so it's better with an OpenGL auto-detection of vram or if the problem persists a much larger value.

OPENGL disabled with Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

Macbook Air with Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. When attempting to open 3D file Photoshop cc14.2.1 receive error message "Could not complete your request because 3D functionality is currently disabled due to OpenGL being disabled." Cannot enable OPENGL in preferences. What to do besides buy new Mac with different graphics card?

Increasing shared VRAM on Intel HD Graphics 3000

Hello,
Question about MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) with Intel HD Graphics 3000. I upgraded RAM with 16GB, and wonder if it is possible to allocate more then 512 MB of system memory for shared VRAM. Now system profiler shows 512 MB shared VRAM, the same like it was with 8 GB RAM before the RAM upgrade.
"About integrated video on Intel-based Macs" topic (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3246) mentions MBPs with 8 GB of RAM only.
Thanks!

HI M,
On a Windows machine, you can go into the BIOS and change RAM allocation.
I have found nothing to suggest the same is true on a Mac. It appears it is controlled in ROM, and unless Apple makes a firemware upgrade, it is what it its. Which begs the question, what is it?
Given that the article you cite states the VRAM allocation goes from 256MB to 512MB by increasing RAM from 4GB to 8GB in one example, it would seem that amount might go up to 1GB VRAM with 16GB of RAM. As you're probably aware, Apple bases everything on RAM available at time of production of the Mac, and never goes back to change specs as RAM density increases, so it may also be "locked in" at 512MB for 8GB.
Bottome line: It's possible the base VRAM available may indeed go up as needed on your Mac, but that's far from certain. There is information out there on the internet suggesting this "as needed" theory, so you may want to do further searching reading and see if you can find that needle in a haystack.

Trouble with the PS CC2014 3D Effects - Intel HD Graphics 3000 that doesn't work properly?

I Have a MBP 13 inch 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 late 2011 and I'm Having trouble with the PS CC2014 3D Effects crashing when trying to apply a New 3D extrusion, are there any solution regarding the Intel HD Graphics 3000 that doesn't work properly?
Thanks!

Look at this document. It should help you troubleshoot and it suggests settings to try out.
Photoshop CC and CC 2014 GPU FAQ
While the stock advice for Windows users is to go to the Intel site for updates, Mac users can only get their drivers in the Mac OSX system updates. So you need to be sure your OS is up to date. If you have an earlier version, like 10.7 or 10.8, it is possible an upgrade to 10.9 might help.
