hi Ashish1793,
If you're running on Windows 7 64bit, can you consider the following:
1. Navugate to the Control Panel (icon views) > Display Adapters and uninstall both the Intel and AMD Display driver then reboot.
2. Install the Intel Display Driver first then reboot.
3. Install the AMD Dislpay Driver (the files will be extracted drivers to the C:\Drivers\VGA folder - overwrite if prompted and reboot if necessary)
When finished,  you should now have both the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and AMD R5 M230 in the Device Manager > Display Adapters
If you get a Code 43 error on the AMD Display Device Manager, try to install the AMD R5 M230 driver directly from AMD website and observe.
If you have Windows 8.1, download the Intel and AMD Display driver from the G50-70 drivers page and install them respectively.

  • Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

    Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give.  I'm at a loss at the moment.  Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop.  I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time).  The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.  
    I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one.  When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
    From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
    But what if it doesn't.  Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
    Any suggestions?  Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
    Appreciate any assistance, guys.

    Hi,
    I see two possibilities.
    The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
    The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
    Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps.  If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

  • Driver upgrade for AMD Radeon 5770 Graphics Card

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro, running OSX 10.8.5. Just installed AMD Radeon 5770 graphics card (Apple says this isn't supported; users I read said it works despite what Apple says in knowledge article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477). When I restarted, the system said my card was a Radeon HD 5000, not 5770. AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site? It's not clear, and they also suggested, talk to Apple to get driver support. Here's where I went, and found the choice not clearly mapped out for the Mac (and their autodetect software works only for XP:

    RE: Mac Pro silver tower (2006-2012) Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
    One more thing--
    Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. "for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available.

  • Question regarding G510 and switchable graphic cards

    So as I have mentioned in another post, my machine is the G510 with i5 cpu, 4 gigs of ram, HD4500 integrated video card and 2GB HD8570M dedicated video card.
    My question is the following> Ok, the whole switchable thing is nice and all, but I'm having some issues with games recognizing my dedicated card, even if I put them on high performance through the switchable program by AMD. Is there a way to deactivate the integrated card once and for all and only use the dedicated one? What I have done right now is simply uninstall the intel graphics drivers, and disable the integrated device from the device manager. I have currently installed the AMD drivers from the AMD website and am about to restart my pc to see if it is working. If not, please feel free to give me any advice on how to do this or feel free to give me an answer to my question.

    cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch should tell you wich one is powered. Do not forget to restart X whenever you switch cards.

  • Where do i find the update driver to my amd radeon r5 graphics card?

    I am trying to install all the updates to my computer and windows update likes to install a bad driver to my graphics card. whenever it installs it leaves the display black and cant see anything. can any one help me in finding the right driver?
    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R5 Graphics

    You can manually install the drivers from AMD's website here:http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/r5#

  • Problem regarding Z87-G45 and graphics card

    Hey guys, I upgraded my PC yesterday and only kept the graphics card from my old one because it was pretty decent. PC now looks like this:
    MB: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    CPU: i7 - 4770K
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz (2x8GB)
    PSU: bequiet! Straight Power E9 600W
    and my trusty ASUS Geforce GTX 660 Ti
    So basically I installed a copy of Windows 7 on my new SSD, installed the Drivers that came with the MB, and proceeded to download the new nvidia drivers because my graphics card was only being recognized as "standard vga video card". When I rebooted the system my PC froze at the Windows Logo and then rebooted itself over and over, getting stuck at the windows logo. Some times I got onto the desktop, could even open my browser etc. but that only lasted for a couple of seconds. Safe Mode was working fine though and it recognized the card and drivers. So I googled a bit, tried the card in my old PC and it was working fine.I tried my old GTX 260 but that gave my screen a very red-ish tone. Then I set up Windows again and installed every single chipset driver and MB driver, using mainly the MSI Live Update without my card in the system. It's running on the CPU's GPU atm. Then I plugged in my 660 Ti and didn't even get sth on screen this time. Now I've unplugged it again and am using the CPU graphic engine.
    I'm kinda lost by now, I really don't know what else to try and I haven't found a solution I haven't tried on google.
    So I wanted to try my luck with you guys: Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing some distinct BIOS features? Or is my MB/graphics card dying on me? And out of those options, which is the most likely?
    Anyways, any help is much appreciated.

    Quote
    Well, I tried my luck once again - didn't work out too well. At least I know it can't be the graphics card 'cause that one is working fine here on my old PC.
    But thenagain "compatibility" is a thing.
    Any Samsung SSD's dont have SandForce, that i know of 
    Dosent your BIOS have update software in it? .. that what i used on main (MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming)  and will use in dase on foward when i have it as i dont trust OS's.
    What happend ? ...well youl luck run out but how?
    Did you try different GPU drivers and they did disable your screen?
    You see BIOS but not OS or what? ...
    Edit: if that so then try other storage then your SSD for the os. just to get it out of picture...
    You dont need to "validate" it for test so dont!!!! just set it to get validation later via manual or what ever els it says.
    Edit 2: What if you brack the BD cake and insert that VGA to secend PCI-e x16 slot?
    Edit 3: Samsung 840 have new FW too. So see if yours have one.
    ... i need to update one of my "non Pro Samsung 840" to be present in system, that had other drives in RAID...

  • Upgrading graphics card on a Lenovo 3000 N500 laptop

    Is a 'BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card' compatible with this laptop? If not, which type of card should I look for to be compatible? And how do I install it? Right now I have 2 'Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family' graphics cards installed.

    Laptop graphics cards tend to be soldered on. Some have replaceable units which utilize a manufacturer proprietary port. Others have what's called a MXM slot which are somewhat interchangeable.
    However, considering your laptop was manufactured with integrated graphics, it is highly unlikely that you will be to change/upgrade to a better graphics card.
    I do believe that there will be a better solution in the future. Read about MXM 3.0 standard. It's quite promising.

  • AMD 700 FirePro Graphics Card

    Who wants to watch a grown man cry?  I spent a small fortune on a shiny new mac with 64GB Ram and to quote Larry Jordan, "I could rocket to the moon with the power of this computer."  I am running OSX (10.9.5) and have a 12 gig per channel ethernet Maxx Digtial Raid with Areca cards to support 6K footage.  However, editing my first project in Premiere CC2014 (leaving FCP 7) has been nothing short of problematic.  At first, it plays great but after 20 minutes of editing, speed changes, adding secondary shots etc it starts to play choppy, freeze on certain frames playing just audio and eventually crashes or it takes a minute to render.
    I did every possible thing yesterday with Adobe and Apple support.  I reinstalled the OS, I trashed 3rd party preferences, trashed Premiere preferences, set project settings from OpenCL to software only and I tried changing location of the Premiere Cache folder but nothing seems to work.  Eventually the last Adobe support person said it was due to the AMD card and Adobe.  He was emphatic that it was Apple's fault.  Apple's support team said it Adobe's.  Well after that, Im still stuck.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Any pieces of the puzzle? 
    Let me know.

    Sadly, the Adobe apps are set for a much better utilization of nVidia's architecture & internal code than of AMD's. My builder is not pleased at this because he ... as a high-end gamer ... is quite aware of the high performance of many AMD cards in dealing with INTENSIVE video work involved in the top gaming apps. And frequently for much less moolah than the equivalent nVidia chipped card.
    Go to the hardware forum, and the Tweaker's Page ... they've got stats on most of the "major" cards out there, and AMD cards are doing a bit better than they used to ... but still, the nVidia cards are where the action is within the Adobe sphere.

  • 15" MBP i7 with AMD Radeon 6750 Graphic card - video artifacts

    Hello -
    After I connect a projector with HDMI, the projector starts having broken up/disrorted images at start up.  I brought my machine to the genius bar once and the tech used a few combo keys and it cleared the video memory and was like new again.
    Does anyone have the key combo?
    Better yet, is there a permanant fix?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi BenOr,
    That would be a PRAM reset, and resetting it, along with other troubleshooting steps, can be found here:

  • After Effects CC 2014 Graphics Card Issues?

    I just updated to After Effects CC 2014 the other day and have been having issues with it accepting my graphics card.
    I worked with AE CC before this with this card and haven't had any issues. The program will not use the graphics card for any ray traced rendering. The error message that I get at startup of after effects says "Ray Tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later." I have CUDA 6.0.37 installed
    2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro
    Intel i7
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2GB
    512GB SSD
    Mac OS 10.10 "Yosemite"
    AE CC 2014

    This is what After Effects screen shows. Its weird because AE says that my driver version is 1.0, but its actually 6.0.37

  • Unable to Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 using High-Performance on AMD Radeon Graphic Card

    I have been unable to launch Adobe Premiere Pro since installing it with the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"
    Here are my specs:
    Lenovo Ideapad U400
    Windows 7 (64bit)
    Intel i5 2.5 ghz processor
    AMD Radeon 6470M graphics card
    The only occasion during which I have successfully launched Premiere Pro was after reverting to the default graphics card on my computer and uninstalling AMD Radeon, otherwise, I have tried to change Premiere Pro to run on High-Performance on Catalyst Control Center to no avail, I do not wish to revert to the Standard Graphics Card as it slows down my computers performance one hell of a lot, neither do I wish to have to constantly uninstall and reinstall my AMD Radeon Graphics Card when I use Premiere Pro. Thank you for your time.

    Update:
    - with Intel (R) HD Graphics Card disabled, Catalyst Control Center reports that no AMD Graphic card is installed
    - using Device Manager under Control Panel, AMD Radeon 6470M was verified to be up-to-date
    - Premiere Pro works so long as I disable the Intel card before launch, however, I re-enable it upon startup to get rid of the 800x600 resolution
    - AMD Mobility Radeon Driver Verification Tool is unable to verify and update my driver, refers me to lenovo to update it.
    - My graphics card is up-to-date as verified by lenovo
    - Intel (R) HD Graphics Card now up-to-date
    - Display currently mainly using Intel (R) HD Graphics Card (Possibly why it caps resolution at 1024x768 when disabled) I'm not sure how to switch the main Graphics Card used, Catalyst Control Center doesn't seem to have the option.
    - when disabled, computer reverts to vgasave instead of Radeon
    - Disabling Radeon does nothing to existing display
    - After updating my Intel card, Catalyst Control Center reported CCC was not supported by the current display adapter
    - CCC worked after rolling back Intel card
         From what I infer, I believe the problem to root from my intel card being the main card used, if there is anyway to switch my radeon card to the default instead of the Intel card, do tell me, I believe this may solve the problem, I apologise for troubling you guys, and I'm starting to feel that I shouldn't be troubling Adobe with my problem with AMD, this discussion is probably really out of place but I hope it will help out others with a similar problem.

    From what I can find out.
    14 Jan 2013 - my client was experiencing display artifaces and the graphics card failed the Dell Diags video memory test. The graphic card replaced by Dell Tech. 
    13 Jun 2013 - my client was again experiencing display artifaces, running Dell Diags reported both hard drive and graphic video memory failed testing. I was concerned that the graphic card had failed again so quickly I worried there may be another defective part was causing the graphic card failure. I figured the most likely cause would be overheating and since the graphics card has an independent heatsink and cooling fan assembly I submitted Dell Warranty Request W03725377 requesting new hard drive, new graphics card, and new graphics card heatsink.
    18 July 2013 - my client was again experiencing display problems. He reported:
    The laptop has developed the same problem again. Soon as I switched it on over the weekend, the screen split into two and then it froze and then there  were stripes on the screen. I shut it down and switched it on again, hoping this will work but the screen just remained black.
    I booted into Dell Diags and shortly after starting the basic test when the test moved from solid blue to the GUI vertical yellow bars appeared. The yellow bars were visible throughout all testing except the LCD test and on the BIOS Screen. The LCD test didn't show the yellow vertical bars but it did show the repeating series of white dots that I have seen before with previous graphics card memory failures. I tried booting into Safe Mode and Safe Mode VGA 640 x 480. All attempts end with a black screen.
    I can order and replace the graphics card under warranty but it seems obvious that something is causing the repeated graphic card failures and I want to fix the problem. I've been searching the forums and it seems other people have been experiencing related problems. I've quoted a thread I believe may be relevant
    This thread explores a possible combination of LCD Panel Manufacturer and Graphics Card Manufacturer/ Model

    I believe I have a similar problem with my Dell M6600 with AMD(ATI) M8900 graphics card. I've used the computer without problems for 1 1/2 years and 3 days ago I noticed the mouse pointer getting corrupted, then the screen flashed and went dark. I've tried system restore without success. When I remove all the ATI software, the computer works with the Generic VGA driver. I spent 2 days trying to reinstall the ATI drivers from both Dell and AMD with no success again. This has been very frustrating as it takes hours to do a system repair check, boot in Safe Mode and remove the ATI software.When the ATI driver/software bundle is installed the computer does not boot correctly and go to a black screen after the Windows boot up logo. As soon as I remove all the ATI drivers and software the computer boots again and works with the Generic VGA driver. I don't want to erase my hard drives (RAID 1) just to try to fix this. I will buy another laptop hard drive and try a clean Windows 7 Pro install. My guess is that either the graphic card is going bad or ATI drivers are not compatible with the latest Windows Update. Did you have any luck fixing your problem?
