New T410 with NVIDIA NVS 3100m Optimus switchable graphics

Does anyone know how to enable the switchable graphics feature on these machines.

Hi ts4673!
The beauty of Optimus is that switching occurs automatically. It is enabled by default, and automatically optimizes the choice of graphics processor, so you don't have to worry about managing the switchable graphics.
If you want to temporarily override Optimus' choice for an application, right click on the application and choose (assuming the context menu is enabled). You can set your choice permanently using the Nvidia Control Panel.
Hope this helps!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Display problems with lenovo T410 with Nvidia NVS 3100M

Hi,
I am having terrible video display quality in my new T410 with Nvidia 3100M graphics card. While playing SD and HD videos, I get very poor display quality, shadows and broken pixels . I have taken these screen shots to show the issue. I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue.

I can confirm that the quality of the videos is not flawed as I have played same videos on other non HD displays and they look much better. I also have up to date drivers for nvidia. I hope someone can help me improve the display quality of my laptop as it is a major inconvenience. The problem is mostly with video only as images are displayed much better.
Thanks!

What are you using to play the videos?
Edit: Didn't read propely: "I have tried playing HD videos from players and online streaming from Vimeo, but all seem to have same issue."
Have you tried VLC? Unlike alot of other players it takes care of the decoding itself. Other players might all use the same decoder.

T510 w/ NVIDIA NVS 3100M -- Window 7 not recognizing discrete graphics card

Hi --
I just got a T510 w/ discrete graphics card, ie, the NVIDIA NVS 3100M w/ 512mb of dedicated video memory.
However, when I look in "Performance Information and Tools" under the "View and print detailed performance and system information", I see the graphics as "Intel(R) HD Graphics". Under the "Graphics" section I see this:
Graphics
Display adapter type
NVIDIA NVS 3100M
Total available graphics memory
1696 MB
      Dedicated graphics memory
64 MB
      Dedicated system memory
0 MB
      Shared system memory
1632 MB
Display adapter driver version
8.17.12.5738
Primary monitor resolution
1920x1080
DirectX version
DirectX 10
This is a bit confusing, because now it says the adapter is NVIDIA, but the dedicated memory is only 64 MB. Seems odd as I should have 512MB?
Thanks

I'm fairly certain you can force Optimus to be discrete only or integrated onlyin the BIOS or in some of the Power Manager settings. Otherwise, you can try loading DirectX and seeing what dxdiag tells you about your graphics card.
In addition, Lenovo's implementaiton of Optimus seems to allow you to run certain programs on the IGP and other programs on the discrete chip simultaneously, so it may simply be allocating the Windows benchmark thread to the IGP instead of the NV chip, thereby causing the flawed readings. Don't know exactly how one forces a process to run using the discrete GPU though.

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.

Xorg.conf for T510 + NVIDIA NVS 3100M

Can you send me, or point me to a website with a working and well tuned xorg.conf for T510 + NVIDIA NVS 3100M.
I've had a few problems creating one myself and I am sure that many people have good working X configurations.
I am using Kubuntu 11.04.

For me this works great, just add or replace this section in your xorg,conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Default Device"
        Driver "nvidia"
        Option "NoLogo"        "True"

Will Lightroom benefit from "switchable" NVIDIA NVS 512MB Optimus graphics?

Hi all, I'm about to get a new laptop -- one model includes "switchable" NVIDIA NVS Optimus 512MB graphics, meaning it has both built-in Intel graphics as well as the NVIDIA NVS Optimus 512MB, and can switch between them (to Intel for better battery life, and to NVIDIA for better graphics performance).
My question is: will Lightroom perform noticeably better with the NVIDIA chip vs. the Intel chip? I've seen demos showing considerably improved 3d performance, but I'm not sure if the same performance boost applies to Lightroom graphics.
Thanks kindly for any advice!

fwiw, I don't necessarily mind spending more for better performance (the dual graphics is about $100) but I was hoping I could make that decision based on some sort of practical expectation (ie, such as "expect about 15% snappier Lightroom performace").
Because we are discussing a side-effect here, there is no way to come up with a number like this. That is, Lr doesn't really care about how excellent your video adapter is, but the integrated adapter uses system memory, and Lr is memory intensive. So, making sure you have maximum memory freed up for applications is just prudent. But no one can say how this might translate into specific performance issues, or affect apps at all. It depends on what you are doing, and what else is running, and the state of your OS. It's very non-deterministic.
As I said before, with lots of physical memory, all of this might be moot, except in the most extreme circumstances.
Bottom line: Lr will work with pretty much any modern video adapter. Not using integrated graphics means more memory for the system and, therefore, more memory for applications. But whether or not this will make or break your experience is not really deterministic. But more memory headroom is never a bad thing.
Make your decision based on that, not on some (probably made-up, or based on anecdotal evidence) specific application performance projection.

New MacbookPro with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB for Premiere and Aftereffects CS6, CC and CC14?

I have Premiere Pro and AE CS6.
My Mac got stolen, now i have to buy a new one.
I think about buying the new Macbook Pro Retina with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB Graphicscard.
I want hardware which works fine with both Premiere Pro, AE CS6 and the later versions! (Maybe i want to upgrade some time).
What is the best configuration on a MacBook Pro that i can work with CS6 and later versions as good as possible?
What is Mercury Playback Engine?
What's CUDA?
Can i use this GPU acceleration on the latest Macbook Pro with Nvidia GT 750M card in CS6, CC and CC14?
Thanks very much!
Greetings!

Considering the new 15"...( 13" is USELESS) ...Macbook Pro starts at over $2,500 with the necessary i7 CPU, ( forget i5).....you would be WAY better served to go with a powerful Windows gaming laptop for HALF that price from a company like Asus,or, others. If money is no object and you MUST go Apple, then, there are SOME pros and some cons.
1. Pro - has Thunderbolt, for hi-speed EXPENSIVE external storage, or, for Hi -res external monitor....however, MY 2 year old Asus laptop HAS a "thunderbolt" port , TOO...which I use to drive a hi-res monitor.
Con - though NVidia 750m 2GB GPU is adequate for much of the CUDA accelerated operations, newer Windows laptops have more advanced 800 and 900 series GPUs with far more video memory...for HALF the price !
2. Pro - PPro and AE runs best with Windows 8.1
Con - Mac operating system in the recent past has had issues and hiccups vs. Windows in running Premiere Pro....I'm not sure if all that has been fixed at this time.
3. Pro - newest mac book pro uses PCI SSD storage...amazing transfer speed of data !.....however, a 1TB flavor of this costs an additional $1,000
Con - not sure of the maximum amount of system memory that can be installed in MBOOK PRO..."Apple Chat" guy says 16GB.....you need at least 24 GB...better to have 32 GB for best operation. Also, some Windows gaming laptops offer internal RAID options for high speed storage ,or, at least two internal HDD bays for SSDs.
In addition : The "Mercury Playback Engine" is a feature of Premiere pro which allows for the "acceleration" of certain effects and operations on the timeline...in many cases eliminating the the need to "render previews" to see what you are doing. When coupled with a capable NVidia GPU, this acceleration can produce a TEN TIMES IMPROVEMENT in processing the effects,or, operations, ( like "scaling" and resolution conversions ) using the NVidia ONLY CUDA technology.
In summary, the 16GB memory limit , the lower level NVidia mobile GPU, and EXCRUCIATING HIGH PRICE all tip the scales for me to say : NOOOOOO !!!!!......DON'T DO IT !!!
IF a laptop is a MUST.....go with a Windows gaming rig and READ as much as you can first. If a desktop is a possible solution, you can get WAY better performance than a laptop...especially with today's Haswell E CPUs and the X99 motherboards.
I would wait a little bit for all the machines to hit the market which have the NEW " NVMe" PCI SSDs in them, or, build your own on a motherboard which will NATIVELY have that feature.
Good Luck !

Qosmio X500 - New models with nVidia GTX 460/470M?

Hi,
It seems that all Qosmio laptops have sold out in the UK aprt from X500-P13. Are Toshiba planning to ship any Qosmio X500-134 to resellers or are they planning to produce new Qosmios with the NVIDIA GTX 460/470M?
Also, why are the Qosmios not available in shops?
Thanks

Hi buddy,
I think nobody here can give a 100% answer because its user forum only.
At the moment Qosmio X500 will be delivered with GeForce GTS 250M or 360M graphic card, depending on the model.
So at the moment I cant find any information about new nVidia graphic cards on Toshiba website. So either it will be equipped with new cards or we must wait for a newer model.

Systemd multiseat with NVidia card and Intel integrated graphics

I'm trying to set up multiseat Gnome 3 on a system running the nvidia proprietary drivers. The first seat on the nvidia GPU is working fine. For the second seat I'm trying to use an integrated Intel GPU, but all I get is the GDM "Oh no, something has gone wrong" screen. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it could be because the intel driver is also trying to load nvidia's libglx.so:

Unfortunately the config file for the second X server is /run/systemd/multi-session-x/seat1, which is not persistent. Is there any other way to get a different config file to the second X server, so I can force it to load the default libglx.so?
For completeness, output of seat-status is as follows:

One thing you can do to ensure highest perfomance on games is go to the Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings, Programs, then find the game you want and set it to use only NVIDIA High Performance (or Discrete) graphics. You can't use both cards at the same time as of writing this (DirectX 11), but with the arrival of Windows 10 and DirectX 12 on July 29 you will be able to use both at once to increase performance. Until then, though, it is simply not possible to use both at once. The best option is to just use the GTX 860M.

Final Cut Studio 2 and New Macbooks with Nvidia graphics

Do the new Macbooks announced today (10/14/2008) meet the minimum system requirements for running Final Cut Studio 2?

Lecturing? Really? Not hardly, but I'll answer your query as succinctly as possible.
Will the new Macbook run Final Cut Studio 2? I will wager that FCP will operate, DVD SP will operate and Soundtrack Pro will operate. I highly doubt Color will operate and am not sure about Motion due to the graphics card.
That should answer your question. To "lecture" some more, where will you have media stored and how will you get media, any sort of media into these applications?
As far as graphics and video are concerned, that distinction has been met above. I'm sure the Macbook will operate Photoshop with no problem.
But again, why not check the minimum tech specs for yourself?

Drivers for Nvidia NVS 3100M?

Hello,
which driver is recommended for NVS 3100 in T510? Latest driver from Nvidia site, or latest drivers from Lenovo?
I think they are not same.
Thank you

I tried to install latest driver from nVidia website and there was no problem, so I think it has to be problem on Lenovos side.
So, what can I do right now? Is there any chance that they will fix this?
I dont want to use latest nVidia drivers because I got "driver stop responding" error yesterday. It had recovered, but there was some kind of grafic bug (i got lots of white pixels on screen) so I had to restart my computer..

NVIDIA NVS 3100m

Anyone know of which the correct driver is during install for this particular video card, only managed to find one other post about it and it didn't really seem to fit.

Google says it's a Quatro, so I would go w/ the regular nvidia + nvidia-utils.
Wrong drivers won't damage your card, they simply won't work.

HP computers with Intel and ATI/AMD switchable graphics

Hi,
Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
Product Number : LM610EA#A2N
From HP website, I have downloaded :
'ATI Radeon Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number()_Driver Packaging Version 8.810.4.1000(2010)'
'AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number(SP55092)_Driver Packaging Version 8.882.2.3000'
I have installed a new version of Windows 7, and then got these adapters before installing any drivres::
I have installed ''ATI Radeon Graphics Driver_ Version 8.810.4.1000". However, while installing ''ATI Radeon Graphics Driver' packaging version 8.810.4.1000(2010)' on my laptop, I found that that 'ATI adapter driver' is in the packgage as in this screen shot.
Then, after installation completed, the device manager was:
I have removed the existing drivers to where I have it down to 2 VGA adapters and the big icon screen I describe in the first screen shot, then install the 'AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number(SP55092)_Driver Packaging Version 8.882.2.3000'.
However, when I have installed 'AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_ Software Packaging Number(SP55092)_Driver Packaging Version 8.882.2.3000', I found that AMD adpater driver is in the packgage as in this screen shot.
After installation completed, then the device manager became:
If we make a comparission between two installations, we will find that
In the first installation:
Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics
Radeon(TM) HD 6770M.
In the second installtion:
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family.
Radeon(TM) HD 6770M.
Thus, my question is as follows:
First: is there any difference between 'Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics' and 'Intel(R) HD Graphics Family.'
Second: Why is 'ATI Adapter driver' shown in the first installation, and in the second "AMD adapter driver", however, in either instllation, 'Radeon(TM) HD 6770M'  and 'Intel graphics' were installed? In other words, neither 'ATI' is listed in the device manager nor 'AMD' listed on the device manager.

Thanks a lot,
you asked me about sending my SN before and now you are asking me about  what the Guest machine model I have is. I think   the Guest machine model will do nothing with what I am looking for. No problem with   the Guest machine model I have if you have a look again at that thread of mine.
But I am really so afraid to say that you  didn't take some of your precious time out to either read my enquiry in this thread or in the other one mentioned to at this thread.
Also, if you checked again my firt post, you will see that I've been asking why while I was installing ATI Radeon Graphics, there was ATI adapter driver.
However, when I was installing 'AMD HIgh Definitioni Graphics', there was 'AMD adapter driver'
Simply, if you have kindly a look again at my very post at this thread you understand me well that I don't have any problem with installing the latest AMD driver found in HP website, however, all AMD drivers found in HP website are not newer than what I downloaded two yeras and a half ago.
I think that HP people don't keep abreast with updating their drivers and software.
I downloaded my drivers and software form HP about two years and a half ago, but when I now visited the HP website, I found no drivers newer than what I downloaded two years and a half.

Hello @Ketan_22,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the graphics on your notebook computer operate in a blurred manner when it comes to command prompts and system windows, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
First things first, I recommend returning your system back to a restore point before windows and command prompts became fuzzy. This can be done by following this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
If these windows still appear blurred, the drivers may need to be re-installed. To ensure all of your system's drivers are functioning correctly, you can install the original software and hardware drivers for your computer. To do this, please follow this resource on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8). Once the drivers are installed, please update them by Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
Regards

T410 - Install NVIDIA & Intel HD drivers, or just install Optimus drivers?

Hi Folks,
I'm entirely confused about which drivers I should install. Do I install NVIDIA and Intel HD drivers separately? Or, do I just install Optimus drivers when they come out? Or do I install all 3?
thanks,
alex

Optimus graphics, NVIDIA NVS 3100M with integrated intel HD

I would like to share with you that you need to update both drivers, first you need to update the Intel HD and then NVIDIA graphics software of your notebook from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
After this, please restart the notebook and check if the issue resolved.
Regards,
