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.

  • 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.

  • T510 w/ NVIDIA NVS 3100M -- Window 7 not recognizin​g 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.

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • NVIDIA NVS Graphic adapter support KVM-Intel AMT/vPro?

    Hi there,
    I have a Thinkpad T410, Intel core i7, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN and the NVIDIA NVS 3100m Graphic adapter, I asked to Intel and that adapter does not support KVM:
    http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=78585&o=a&s=lr
    I need to use KVM and I cannot understand why if the Lenovo product review shows the NVIDIA adapter supports AMT why it acually does not support KVM, so it does not really support AMT (it's just a partial support):
    http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=76173
    So, I'm forced to lose a good NVIDIA graphic card for an integrated one, the question is: can I change to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 57000MHD-AMT? -it's a cheaper one-
    Help!
    Solved!

    Hi javiercaceres!
    According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual, it's part of the system board, so the graphics adapter can't be swapped out.

  • T420s-NVIDIA NVS 4200m shows up as Standard VGA

    Hey all,
       So I've had this problem for a while now, I know that in my T420s there is a NVIDIA NVS 4200m GPU, but it refuses to recognize that it even exists. I'm running it in NVIDIA Optimus mode, but in Device Manager, all that shows up under the Display Driver are Intel(R) HD Graphics and  another which says Standard VGA Graphics adapter (which can't start due to a 'Code 10')
    Why is it that my NVIDIA doesn't show up? How can I get my T420s to recognize and use it over the Intel HD?
    Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I got my new T420s today with nVidia NVS 4200M and after turning it on, it just showed standard video with 1024x768.
    In device manager it showed both standard VGA graphics and NVIDIA NVS 4200M but when I right clicked on the desktop it did not give me an option to choose nVidia, but just standard VGA.
    I updated the nVidia graphics driver from here (7 Nov 2011, the one from April 2011 was not enough)

  • Will Toshiba update Nvidia NVS 2100M video driver for Tecra S11?

    Will Toshiba update Nvidia NVS 2100M video driver for S11?
    my machine S11 is almost 3 years old. In the first year there were a lot of update for drivers, but in the past 1 year there were no update.
    At nvidia's official website there is a driver download page, but if I install the latest driver - it doesn't matter which one - I have several video driver related issue. So I have to downgrade to the Toshiba's nvidia driver.
    I will try this one
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-310.90-whql-driver-all.html
    So will nvidia or toshiba update the video driver?

    Ive got many years of experience with Toshiba notebooks.
    I had about four different notebooks in my life and I have noticed that in different cases the same graphic card would be built in different models and series. This would mean that you could use the graphic card driver which is released for such notebook model for different notebook series which supports the same GPU.
    Toshiba releases a lot of different notebook series every month and in most cases they give the main points on the new series. If you want to get newest driver for the GPU I think you will need to check the drivers released for other notebook series with the same GPU or you would look for drivers at some 3rd party pages like www.laptopvideo2go.com/

  • Anyone had or having issues with getting nVidia NVS 450 resolution to work?

    Hi all,
    We got a new C20 with a nvidia NVS 450 card--and a ThinkVision monitor. The C20 had Windows 7 preinstalled; the out-of-the-box resolution was 640x480 and we couldn't get it to go higher than that! The ThinkVision and the video card are connected using the DisplayPort cable that came with the unit. After reinstalling the video card driver that came with the unit (on a CD that contains drivers for Windows and Linux), we could never get the resolution to go beyond 640x480. We gave up thinking it must be some quirk with Windows 7. We were going to install Linux on the C20 anyway, so we moved on doing that.
    We installed Fedora 14 (64-bit) installed the nvidia video driver that was on the CD and can't get the display resolution greater than 640x480. After a few days of trial-n-error referencing various online forums, we managed to get the resolution up to 800x600, but not the expected 1900-something resolution the ThinkVision and the video card supports.
    Has anyone had issues with getting the video card resolution to work? If so, were you able to resolve the problem? We thought we'd toss this here instead of calling up Lenovo support first because usually with technical issues, we get more intelligent replies than over-the-phone. Also, waiting for replies on a forum is less frustrating than being put on hold over the phone.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I was lucky to get a hold of another monitor and when I connected that, I got the full resolution. After much testing, I determined that it was a faulty monitor and it had nothing to do with the video card. I eventually got a replacement monitor for the one that wasn't giving me the full resolution.
    Afterwards, I went ahead and got the latest nvidia drivers from their Web site. Everything works really well now.

    Well I have the same notebook and had trouble updating. See if the OEM one is in the build in SWTOOLS and reinstall that. If it takes then the update will be prompt in driver updates. I would verify your BIOS is current as well.
    Have you talked to the support team about this?

  • 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!

    TurnstyleNYC wrote:
    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.

  • CUDA enabled driver for Nvidia NVS 140M

    Hi,
    I want to do some GPU coding on my T61 with Nvidia NVS 140M GPU using the "new" CUDA system. The NVS 140M supports CUDA but the current official driver from Levono (ForceWare 176.93) seems to be lacking CUDA support. When I download the recommended driver for the latest CUDA (2.1) from the Nvidia CUDA site (ForceWare 180.22) it's not installable unless I use the Nvidia Mobility Modder to force the driver to install. Then CUDA programs run fine but the system is kind of unstable. Resuming from stand by or hibernation works only sometimes, mostly screen starts flickering and then BIOS screen appears. So it's not really usable for a laptop computer. Further, ForceWare 176.93 should be able to support CUDA, since CUDA 1.1 is supported from 173.xx on, as this is the recommended driver provided for download.
    Does anyone have an idea? It cannot be that I have suitable hardware but cannot use it properly due to some crappy driver policy.
    This all relates to Vista x64, with linux there was until now no problem with the latest nvidia driver and resuming.
    Cheers
    Phil
