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).

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'.

Why won't my MacBook Pro switch to Intel integrated graphics?

My early 2011 MacBook Pro seems to be incapable of using it's integrated Intel graphics card, obviouslly affecting battery life when unplugged. I've verified the computer is using the discrete graphics card at all times and in all situations. Is there a way to "force" the computer to use the integrated Intel graphics?

Again, under the System Preferences >Energy Saver the "Automatic graphics switching" is checked on right?
If so your problem likely is a corrupt preferences file. We need to delete it.
1: Use the Finder Go To to open your Users/Library/Preferences folder (in Lion 10.7 Apple made it invisible)
2: Find the
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file and move it to the desktop and reboot, change your System Preferences again and reboot.
See if that fixes your problem.
Check the preferences folder that the plist file was rebuilt.
Delete the desktop .plist file.
note if your having trouble finding the file, use the free Easy Find and delete it that way

I have Macbook Pro with Intel HD Graphics 3000 but can't see airplay anywhere?? Help

I have a Macbook Pro 13" full spec, bought in March 2012 uk and it has the Intel HD Graphics 3000...however i CANNOT FIND AIRPLAY anywhere!! Am i missing something?
When I go to display there is no drop down menu for apple tv etc...it's driving me crazy!
I believe my graphics card is compatible and the osx is mountain lion [i presume as it's 10.7.4] so do I need to download it or buy it or is airplay hidden somewhere?
Thanks

Ah ok, someone told me it was mountian lion...well that explains that. So if I get mountain lion for my macbook...as it has the Intel then it should have airplay?
Also...if i get mountain Lion and install it will it delete any of my files? like will it completely start the computer again like a reset or will it keep all my files etc? I use final cut pro and have a lot of files that it talks to etc and don't want to loose all this.
Thanks

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

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.

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)?

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)? I need a laptop for college and the Engineering program suggests a dedicated video card with minimum 1GB of video memory.

I have a Intel HD 4000 in my Mac Mini (late 2012), and it's okay for what I need it.
However:
- there were a few issues with flickering on the video output to external monitors. These were solved through a firmware update that came with OSX 10.8.3 - for the majority of the users. There is apparently still a small group of users that still has issues. You can read long threads about this here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4472316?start=0&tstart=0
and here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4490924?start=0&tstart=0
So for most of us (me included) this issue is solved, but it seems that certain displays / monitors don't work well with the intel HD4000, don't know if there is a pattern or a list of monitor models...
- there was an issue with the color calibration on the HDMI output. No matter how much you tried to calibrate, the results remained unsatisfying. All light colors were crushed to white, wrong contrast, ...

The same firmware update improved this a little, good enough for me, but I can imagine it's not good enough if you do graphic work and need reliable colors from your monitor. On HDMI output, the thunderbolt/MDP output is fine. So it's mainly a dual monitor setup issue.
If it's for graphic work, I'd go for a Mac Book Pro with dedicated GPU !

UPDATING post above.
Excel slowing down is particularly when I do "copy" or "paste" (up to 3 seconds before the action is taken into account).
I tried with empty or very small files, problem is the same.
I checked autoupdates of Microsoft, everything is up to date.
I made the test of David Linc, with no issue.
Anyone having same situation or solution ?

Will Sims 3 run on Mac OS X Leopard 10.6 with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 card?

I recently replaced my broken laptop with a Macbook Pro 13" operating on OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I wanted to continue playing the Sims 3 as I had done on my previous laptop. It installed fine onto my Mac and allowed me to create people. When moving them into a household, the game suddenly froze (appearing as if it is on pause) meaning I need to actually switch on and off my Mac to clear the screen.
Could this be because my Mac has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 card? The Mac system requirements for the Sims 3 asks for an ATI X1600, a Nvidia 7300 GT or an Intel Integrated GMA X3100. If so, how do I go about fixing this? Would I need to physically buy a new graphics card to accommodate the game?
I'm not a massive gamer but it appears I am a bit of a Mac dummy!
Please help if you can

Sounds like it. Unfortunately you can't replace the graphics card. Replace the computer*:

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.

Intel HD Graphics 3000 only has 64mb video ram?

I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch Early 2011 model (MC700LL/A). It has Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB memory on Mac OS X.
However, after installing Windows 7, I found out that I have only 64MB of dedicated video memory instead of 384MB?
Is it a bug or it really has 64mb of video memory?
I can't play games smoothly on Windows 7.(GTA IV, TDU2, NFS:TheRun)
Please help. Thank you.

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.
