New Elite ThinkPad X200 with integrated graphics

I was looking at the new X200 but I don't see why it's called the Elite or what the difference it between the standard X200. Maybe a fresh pair of eye will help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"elite" models have higher minimum configurations compared to the normal X200s. otherwise they're the same machine.
if you configure a regular X200s to be the same as an elite, prices are completely identical.

T410 Dual monitor support with integrated graphics

I am considering purchasing a T410 with integrated graphics, but I need to make sure it will support dual digital displays (with a dock of course). I use a T500 for work, and when I switch to the integrated chip, I am unable to use dual monitors.
Can someone confirm that the T410 (integrated graphics) can use dual digital displays with a dock?

Should work. That NEC is 1920x1080 which is suported on the single-link DVI. DP can handle even more. The dock has both DVI and DP. Your ThinkPad supports the 2 monitor outs. My understanding is the ThinkPad LCD would need to be off when you do this; the specs on the dock mention max 2 monitors simultaneously.

Customize ThinkPad T400 with discrete graphics

In Customize ThinkPad T400 with discrete graphics,why the Display type didn't have the option of 14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ led Backlight, Camera ?
I just want to buy it.

That LCD option is most likely out of stock. As soon as the LCD panel is in stock, I'm sure the option will be made available for purchase.

Why does my Thinkpad W541 use Integrated graphics in WoW instead of the nVidia Quadro K1100m?

I have seen reviews by many people on the W540/541 and they all said they were getting around 100 fps in WoW and even the guy in this video was able to play it on high-setitngs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0j045vg3W8 Don't get me wrong I use this device for mainly professional work, but every now and then I would like to be able to play a game on it or two. thanks!

According to a number of contributors on a number of threads regarding the same subject, THIS IS BY DESIGN.
If you want to force use the K1100m on the W541, it will need to be (a) on an external monitor and (b) controlled through a dock, rather than via the video connectors on the laptop itself. According to "the specs", the laptop screen is always handled by the Intel Graphics... no matter whether the W540/W541 BIOS is set to "basic" or "advanced" graphics mode.
According to the following description of how graphics works in W540/W541 and newer machines (which is that Optimus Mode is always active, although you can select "basic mode" or "advanced mode"), you simply MUST use Optimus Mode and cannot disable Intel Graphics as you could with the W530.
Now I'd always thought that in theory for the laptop screen you can use nVidia Control Panel (3D settings) to specify which programs you want to get nVidia graphics for when those programs' windows have focus). But my experience (granted, with the W530 and not with W540/W541) is that nVidia graphics kick in (and take over for Intel graphics) reliably only when the firmware determines that graphics performance requirements justify it.
Strangely, the description of Optimus Driver behavior (below) makes no mention of the NVidia graphics ever kicking in for the laptop screen, but I thought that was how it worked. Confusing and contradictory descriptions, seemingly. You'd think that gaming applications would be just such an example of "graphics performance demands nVidia graphics", but your thread subject suggests that nVidia is NOT kicking in (I assume you're running on your laptop screen, and have probably tried to go to nVidia Control Panel to request nVidia graphics when you run WoW), which would be consistent with the written descriptions but very definitely annoying. On the W530, Optimus behavior had the K1000m definitely kicking in on the laptop screen when needed.
So apparently by design Optimus is always active on W540/W541 and newer machines. You can´t actually disable the integrated GPU at all and force the use of the discrete graphics, as you can on the W530 for the K1000m nVidia graphics via its BIOS. Here is the description of Optimus Drivers for W541, which describes Standard vs. Advanced mode, and by implication how the new W540/W541 BIOS design works:
STANDARD and ADVANCED MODE
In Standard mode, all dock displays uses Integrated Graphics as display output
and is limited to a maximum of 3 displays including Computer's LCD.
While in Advanced mode, all dock displays uses Discrete Graphics as display
output and it increases the maximum number of displays to 6 including Computer's LCD.

T410 with integrated graphics - DVI output not working on Mini Dock 3 (4337)

I tried connecting my external monitor to the DVI output of the Mini Dock and it did not work. I have since connected it with no issus to the VGA output.
However, I want to use the digital (DVI) connection for my monitor........how can i fix this issue?
NOTE: I have a T410 with the integrated graphics so my laptop screen does not display while docked (I keep the lid closed).

Hi MarkinIt,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with no Display when connected to docking station on your ThinkPad T410.
Have you checked updating the Intel graphic driver from Lenovo support site?
Please provide the current Graphic driver version showing in device manager.
Is the system having Windows 7 or Windows 8 OS?
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Basic 21.5" iMac With Integrated Graphics For FCE 4 Editing?

A PC friend of mine is toying with the idea of trying an iMac but is appalled by the high prices!
I suggested he could use the base model with the integrated graphics with FCE 4.
I realise that integrated graphics may pose a problem with certain high end apps such as Final Cut Studio 3, but for his basic editing with FCE 4 I would imagine it would be perfectly fine.
To my knowledge, the only thing that might be adversely affected are the FXPlug effects, which to him would be no great deal as his editing will be undemanding.
Any comments welcome, particularly from anyone who has used such a machine. Do the FXPLugs work, all or some or none?
Incidentally, there is no way he would fork out the extra cash for the next model up. It's the base model or no Mac at all.

Thanks Ian for asking because before I bought my 24" iMac with 256 dedicated graphics card, I was considering buying the Mac Mini which comes with the same integrated graphics card as the 21.5" base model that you mentioned.
But at that time, I didn't really got an answer because the Mac Mini was new. So, in order not to take risk, I bought the 24" iMac.
Now that you asked, I am thinking of getting the Mac Mini if everyone here confirms that the integrated graphics card in the Mac Mini is not an issue. Since your friend is on a tight budget, why not buy a Mac Mini especially if he/she already has a monitor ?
Besides, if he/she buys a Mac Mini, he/she can hook it up with a 27" monitor !
Cheers

Does the HP Pavilion Elite m9340f come with integrated bluetooth?

Thx in advance for any help provided. I could swear that I had built in bluetooth capabilities on My HP Pavilion Elite m9340f when first purchased, at the time having Windows Vista as the operating system. I believed it to be built into the wireless card. I've since upgraded to Windows 7 and had numerous problems with a variety of things, and can't even begin to recall all I've done with this machine, though replacing hardware was not a part of that. I recently decided to hook up my Motorola S10-HD headphones so that I could have audio without being tethered to the machine, but have had no luck in connecting. I've since checked to see if I even have a bluetooth adapter listed under my network adapters, but none is shown. To make a short story long, was I mistaken in believing that the HP Pavilion Elite m9340f ever shipped with an integrated bluetooth adapter, or is it possible that somehow, it has been disabled or disassociated in such a what that it doesn't even show up any longer? I am sure a $10 - $20 doggle could fix what I'm wanting, but it's more a matter or curiousity than necessity. I have tried connecting my PS3 bluetooth headphones with doggle to my computer to see if that would work, but though it shows them listed as an added device, they doen't transmit any sound.

Ya, I checked the specs also, but sometimes the build can change a little depending on the time of build? Like I said, more a matter of curiousity than necessity, just wondering if I was thinking of another computer, or if I was missing something and wanted to try for a definative answer. Who knows, maybe senility is catching up on me?

Thinkpad T420, Integrated Graphics, Dual Monitors

Warning: this isn't really a problem thread. I've looked and looked but can't find a definitive answer for my question.
I'm seriously considering a Thinkpad T420 for a new work laptop. I've heard great things from many people, but the most important question has yet to be answered: if I get one with integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000), will dual monitors work with VGA and DisplayPort with a DVI adapter? It's crucial that I'm able to use two external monitors simultaneously and I'm sick of using TwinView because I can't rotate a monitor. Can anyone confirm that this works?

according to tabook.pdf
Intel HD Graphics 3000 in processor,
external analog monitor support via VGA DB-15 connector and
digital monitor support via DisplayPort (supports single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915);
supports dual independent display;
Maximum external resolution: 2560x1600 (DisplayPort)@60Hz;
2048x1536 (VGA)@75Hz; 1920x1200@60Hz (single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915)
So, it looks like the hardware is certainly capable of it.

Purchasing a sound card for new computer which has integrated graphics

I intend to purchase a new hp pavilion elite HPE-150t series desktop computer. It has a Intel Core i5-750 quad core processor at 2.66GH with integrated graphics. I will use the audio of this computer almost exclusively for listening to music on my headphones, off my hard drive. Is it adviseable to spend the additional money to purchase a Sound Blaster sound card?? Thank you for your opinions.

On board sound is actually pretty good these days now. If you want digital sound. And the pc did not come with that option. You will have to upgrade to a sound card.

T410: From Graphics: Intel GMA HD Integrated Graphics to Graphics: NVIDIA NVS 3100M with 256MB DDR3

Hi, I have a Thinkpad T410. I bought it with integrated graphics card. Now i want to upgrade to the other one: Graphics: NVIDIA NVS 3100M with 256MB DDR3. Is that possible? thanks a lot

You'd have to replace the motherboard.
A better solution would probably be to get an eGPU; it's way way way faster.

Integrated Graphics question on NEW MBP's...

I'm soooo happy, the 13" has Firewire again!
At home I already have my beastly 8-core MacPro which is all the power I need for my audio apps and plugs. On the road, I want small and portable, which is why the 13" is appealing, although I definitely have to have firewire for an audio interface (which takes the MBA out. )
My only concern now with the new 13" MBP is the integrated graphics.. However, most of my heavy work is audio with Logic Pro, and with the new 8GB RAM capacity, does the integrated graphics even matter for my uses?
Just looking for some thoughts here.. Thanks..

Not needed for iMovie - showing a movie is not really graphics-intensive (it's displaying, not computing vectors and shadings). Rendering video is a CPU function, not a GPU function. 3D games, creating animations (think Pixar), molecular modeling, etc., are 'graphics intensive' applications. Since most users don't work for Pixar or do molecular modeling (I do some of the latter, though ), I listed only gaming above.
In Snow Leopard, the GPU will be 'borrowed' for CPU-type uses (that's 'OpenCL'), but the 'integrated' GPU is still a separate chip - the integrated part is the video RAM, which is shared with the system RAM. That does mean you'll have less RAM for the OS, but even 4 GB will be sufficient and you can always bump to 8 GB once the price of 4 GB sticks comes down a bit.

ThinkPad X200 recommended 3.22-1.07 BIOS settings?

I updated the BIOS on my new used ThinkPad X200 Model 7459DW1 and need to know what the recommended settings are. The BIOS version is now 3.22-1.07 .
I probably should have just left it alone becuse I had to disconnect the CMOS battery to get it to start.
It runs fine now.
No need for replies because there isn't to set. I enabled the two virtual CPU options.

I am currently running BIOS v1.4 for my K9A2 Platinum v1.
I have been having stablility issues overclocking my system to 2.75 or beyond. Main issue is just a random freeze. This happens typically when there is very litle load or just idling. When under heavy load or stress testing, system works great (@ 2.75 or 2.8). I have tried numerous HT/Multi combinations of settings trying to resolve the problems. Voltage tweaks seem to have no effect, so they are all set to Auto. I may just have a chip that cannot not OC very well. I am ok with that, but want to exhaust as many possiblities as I can.
From reading on the web, it appears that many people are having better luck with the 1.3 BIOS version. However, I did not think that 1.3 recognized the 9850 processor. Can I use 1.3 on my setup and is it "recommended"?
Thanks for any assistance. I did not know if this topic should go here or in the Overclocking forum.
I have the same issue but when playing video, I decreased the overclock (sucks I know) and the system seemed to stabilized. Though I have a version 2 of the board.

MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Motherboard Integrated Graphics

Hi i'm a newbie to computer parts and the computer world in general on what does what. I'm only 15 but i'm looking to upgrade my Mobo and CPU I have found a bundle (MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle) on tiger direct and it looks like a good deal. But before I buy it I WAS going to upgrade my GPU before I were to get a new Mobo and CPU. I've done some research on the MSI Z77A-GD65 and I saw it has integrated graphics, but I don't entirely know what that is. I was curious if that's a graphics card and if so what it compares to. I have a Nvidia GTX 9800 graphics card that's fairly old now and I was wondering if a Mobo with integrated graphics acted as a graphics card and if so what it would compare to. If you want to know anymore specs about my computer let me know and i'll be happy to give them out.

It's not the mainboard to have integrated graphics, it's the cpu. The Core i5-3570K has Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated. The mainboard only offers the output connectors to use it. All current generation Intel cpus have integrated graphics which can be used or not. The HD Graphics 4000 is not meant for gaming of course and would perform worse than your GTX9800 in a 3d game. With a supported mainboard (like the Z77A-GD65) the integrated graphics can be used along the discrete vga for Lucid MVP to better performance and gaming experience (see for more details: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160519.0).
