MBP 13-inch with Intel HD Graphics 3000 support Video Decode Acceleration?

Anyone know yet if the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset in the new MBP 13-inch supports the Apple Video Decode Acceleration Framework? I'm hoping so as Flash needs it for hardware acceleration--anything to make that dog work better.

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?

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.

I have my macbook pro 17" 2.5 Q.C. i7,750GB HDD 5400rpm, 4gb ram, amd radeon 1gb dedicated graphics with intel hd graphics 3000,antiglare screen when i turned on my laptop and see the specs is not showing the 1gb graph. only 512mb.

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

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 backlight [PartlySolved]

Hi!
I've got HP Pavilion g6 laptop with Intel HD Graphics 3000 on Core i5. And it works correctly, except for backlight.
# echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
Gives no effect, thow /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness is 5 now;
Besides acpi_video0 there is acpi_video1 and acpi_video2. I didn't succeed to do the same with them.
acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_backlight=vendor
as kernel parametrs didn't help me.
Moreover
#setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=05
didn't have an effect.
Im going to build a custom kernel now. Plese tell me, what moudules are need to be compiled in, and how do i need to use them.
Also on mu laptop i have Radeon HD 6470M.
#modprobe radeon
#echo DIS > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
Takes an effect, that system losts control over screen.
Help please.
PS Sorry of my poor english.
PPS I've chosen Laptop Issues topic, and i'm not shure, I was right.

I've looked through the xf86-video-intel and found a function there
static void
intel_output_backlight_set(xf86OutputPtr output, int level)
struct intel_output *intel_output = output->driver_private;
char path[BACKLIGHT_PATH_LEN], val[BACKLIGHT_VALUE_LEN];
int fd, len, ret;
if (level > intel_output->backlight_max)
level = intel_output->backlight_max;
if (! intel_output->backlight_iface || level < 0)
return;
len = snprintf(val, BACKLIGHT_VALUE_LEN, "%d\n", level);
sprintf(path, "%s/%s/brightness",
BACKLIGHT_CLASS, intel_output->backlight_iface);
fd = open(path, O_RDWR);
if (fd == -1) {
xf86DrvMsg(output->scrn->scrnIndex, X_ERROR, "failed to open %s for backlight "
"control: %s\n", path, strerror(errno));
return;
ret = write(fd, val, len);
if (ret == -1) {
xf86DrvMsg(output->scrn->scrnIndex, X_ERROR, "write to %s for backlight "
"control failed: %s\n", path, strerror(errno));
close(fd);
I didn't find, where this function sets the backlight. It only prints the information.

Intel HD Graphics 3000 Shared Up 128MB

Hi
I got e new Macbook 13" with Intel HD Graphics 3000 & Lion.
I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8 GB RAM.
Why my Intel HD Graphics 3000 have 128MB Ram and dont shared up?
The Problem are Virtual Box... i can only use 128MB Video RAM.
What i can do to share 128MB+?
Regards
Pascal

You don't, you don't have a video card in the 13", it's all Intel HD integrated graphics that scores a lousy 11 points on Cinebench. It's basically a MacBook in graphics performance, no 3D games.
If you want to run virtual machine software and another OS or two (or three or more with more RAM), you needed a 15" or better that scores 30-45 on Cinebench.

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.

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*:

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.

Terrible huh?

I can play 3D games in a Win 7 virtual machine on my top end 17" MBP

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).

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.

Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB driver updates

hi
i have macbook pro with 4 gig ram but my allocated ram for intel hd3000 is 256 in windows 8 OS!!!!
its must be 386
2 GB of RAM, 256 MB allocated
4 GB of RAM, 384 MB allocated
8 GB of RAM, 512 MB allocated. Exception: 384 MB is allocated on 15-inch and 17-inch systems

[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.
