Nvidia x Integrated graphics card

Hello, I would like to ask you, if I lose my Nvidia I still able to use the laptop with Integrated graphic only? Thanks.

hi luizcanguini,
Looking at your previous posts, are you referring to the IdeaPad Z710 model? If yes and the Z710 came with an Intel+Nvidia GPU then this uses the Nvidia Optimus technology to switch between the Integrated and discrete graphics.
I don't have a Z710 here with me for testing but ideally, there's an option in the BIOS to switch between UMA (Integrated Graphics) and Optimus (switchable graphics). In event that the Nvidia GPU is showing signs of failure, you can boot into the BIOS and temporarily disable the Nvidia GPU by changing the Graphic Device to UMA and still be able to use the laptop using the Integrated graphics.
Alternatively, you can also disable the Nvidia GPU under the Device Manager.

No DVI output with T420 on integrated graphics card and Mini Dock Series 3

Because of some application problems I have to set my new T420 to only use the integrated graphics card (disabling the NVidia Optimus feature). In this configuration I seem to be unable to use the DVI port on the Mini Dock Series 3, there is simply no signal and Windows reports that no monitor could be found. The VGA output works but the picture quality is quite bad.
Is this a known design limitation or do I deal with a driver issue?
Thanks
Dan

Yes, that works but there is the drawback of battery life. In the course of the day I often undock the laptop to go to meetings and using the discreet graphics card uses a lot more power and significantly reduces the time i can work without power. I would have to restart the laptop and change the setting in the BIOS after I undock, which is just not practical. For what I do I don't need the graphics power of the discreet card.

NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card - Code 12

I have installed my new NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card and installed the driver perfectly (BIOS is also up to date) but when I check the device manager (via the built in Integrated Graphics) it says:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)
I tried disabling the Integrated Graphics and then restarting the system with the GT 610. I can hear the computer reach my log-in screen but I have no picture apart from a black screen and a solid white '-' in the top left corner. I tried to take it a step further by disabling the intergrated graphics directly from the BIOS but when I do that, when the pc starts up I get stuck on the Blue into screen that says "press escape for startup menu" which doesn't work at all, forcing me to turn if off.
I feel like I am so close to getting my new card to work but I can't figure out what to do from here. I have tried looking for a similar experience using the search function and one dude said he got his to work by disabling "many" "unnecessary" hardware things, but I am hesitant to do that without proper knowledge...
Please help! I will keep a close eye on this thread in the coming hours (currently 8:54pm here).
Edit: I have posted the exact same question on the GeForce forums.
Edit: Troubleshooting tells me that "Hardware changes might not have been detected".
Edit: Location - PCI Bus 1, device 0, function 0.

Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give you.

MSI GT60 Always Runs On Integrated Graphics Card

Hello everyone. Not sure if this question was asked before. But i cant get my new laptop to run on nvidia graphics. Was playing Heroes of Newerth today and realised i was getting 45 fps only. So i lowered the graphics. The fps raised up to 80. I didnt think the gtx770M should be this weak so:
i disabled the integrated graphics from device manager and re-ran the game. This time fps was awfully less. Like 10-15 fps.
I disabled nvidia graphics to make it run on integrated graphics. Re-ran thegame again i got like 80 fps. So im pretty sure the computer is running on integrated graphics card.
I configured stuff on nvidia control panel. Set preferred gpu to Nvidia Graphics Processor. Still it doesnt seem to help. Fps is around the same level.
I reinstalled the drivers from the laptops own cd. No help either. I also did a clean install. So its not about the installation either.
Couldnt find any way to change the default gpu on bios. The laptop also came with windows 8 64 bit
The system is -
i7-4700mq processor
Nvidia gtx770M gpu with 3gb memory.
16 gb 1600 mhz ddr3 ram
250 gbsuperraid ssd. 750 gb 7200 rpm for storage
Anyone else experienced the same problem? Or anyone knows how to fix this?

I have tried that too. Then I got the error "this driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". I looked it up and tried a few other things. But then I ended up with a blinking black screen with rebooting. Now i restored everything and lost all my date. The computer is back to its former slow self. I don't know what to do. When i alt + tab from a game and return to it. The fps is almost twice as high. Then it quickly drops down to 40s again. I cant install the latest drivers either.
you have some mess
restore OS to factory default

GE620DX - utility an integrated graphics card

Hello, new MSI notebook user here. I've got my notebook last week and I'm experiencing 2 major problems.
And before you ask, yes I've read the stickies and used the search option.
1. My function keys, and therefore my webcam, my Wi-Fi card and other controls can't be used/turned on. I've installed everything on the CD and nothing seems to work. I've chcecked on MSI.com in the download section but it's pretty much the same I have on the CD. What should I do, where should I download these utilities from?
2. The integrated graphics card from Intel. I can't run some games because of it (eg. Orcs Must Die!) or get low/unstable framerates (eg. League of Legends, Starcraft II). I know it's a notebook but since it's being sold as a gaming device and sports a pretty decent GPU from Nvidia I reckon this shouldn't happen, especially on 1-2 year-old games. Anyway, I can't disable it from Windows (it turns off the display) or BIOS (don't see such an option). Again, what should I do, how do you solve this?
Thanks in advance

I know this is an old thread but he might still need help.
1. This is working fine for me, just download the latest updates from MSI's homepage, also use flash the latest BIOS and Firmware, there is a guide on the MSI homepage to. The drivers on the CD is outdated.
2. You can't disable the intel graphics, but you can choose wich graphic card to use on the games. You can rightclick on the games shortcut or the .exe launcher. Then you select Use graphic processor -> Nvidia high performance.
You can also enter nvidia graphics panel by right clicking on your desktop, in here you go 3D-settings -> Program settings. Just add the game, for example League of Legends, and choose always run with Nvidia high performance. Then the intel graphics wont bother you.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Blix

Success story: NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect repaired at no cost

This is the story of Apple servicing my MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA graphics card defect.
I had the NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect in my 2 year old MacBook Pro. The symptoms were pinkish images, scrambled and chopped images, and finally leading to no video, all within a matter of 3 days. I called AppleCare using the old number I remembered from my 100mhz Mac days: 1-800-SOS-APPLE. I was greeted by a real person within 3 minutes. She explained that my 90-day complimentary phone service had expired some 600 days ago.
After I mentioned the specific Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377), and that it was covered up to three years out of warranty, she transferred me to a MacBook Pro specialist. Sheri ran me through several standard resets and reboots. She then suggested that it be taken into an Apple store for a genius to look at. When I explained that the nearest Apple Store was an hour away, she arranged for a mail-in service.
After the call had ended, I received a simple email with her phone number so that I could contact her if I needed to. Another automated email contained my repair case number and a link to check the status online. The online status center is very easy to use. It displayed three steps: Sending the empty box, service in progress and return. FedEx tracking numbers were included with working links.
The next day an empty box arrived, completely with graphical IKEA like packaging instructions and form fitting foam for my MacBook Pro. I knew when the FedEx truck came around, so I had my computer ready by my side. As soon as FedEx showed up, I explained that the empty box was for the computer and Marcos helped me apply the pre-paid return label and taped the box expertly with tape from his truck. I also placed in the box a copy of the Apple Knoweldge base article and pictures I had taken of the issue.
Apple had included a small stack of super adhesive pre-cut tape square, but Macros was already taping it before I figured out what they were. The return label was also pre-paid with overnight service.
The next day I logged into the online support status at Apple.com and checked my status. The tracking number showed it had arrived in Houston, and the three steps had been updated to "Repairs completed" and "Return in progress."
The return FedEx tracking number was displayed later in the evening, and it showed that it was guaranteed to arrive by 10:30AM the next day. Speedy service! Sure enough, the next day I had my computer back in my hands, all data perfect and intact. I was very worried since I was not able to make a back up before sending it in, and Apple does not guarantee data safety. Apple had replaced the logic board, valued at $700 on iFixit (http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-2-Duo-2-2-GHz-Logic -Board/IF185-073).
The funny thing is, for the past 5 years, I have always cloned my drive or used time machine, but for the past two months I had cleared the backups to make up extra room on my externals. You really never know when disaster will strike!
Learned:
- Apple Customer Care is top notch, speedy and their status site is very easy to use
- FedEx service was very helpful
- If you have a NVIDIA graphics card, Mac or PC, check if your model is affected. Just today Sony announced that NVIDIA cards with defects will now be covered for 4 years out of warranty. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10307592-64.html)
- Back up your stuff NOW. Use a flash drive or email files to yourself for a cheap fix.

ha
got the same problem with my mbp (dec 2007)
also no video within 5 hours .... also no external video.
lucky i had screen sharing on so i could check the system profiler via an other mac.
It couldn't find the 6800M GT anymore...
did another backup and went to the local apple store
took a print out of Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377)
and they replaced the logicboard+gpu for free within 10 days ...
everything is ok now except for my maxmsp copy which thinks it runs on an other machine and complains about a missing licence ....

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

Repeated error from Intel integrated Graphics card in my brand-new B320

Hi
I am getting repeated errors from the Intel Integrated Graphics card (on the Intel i3 chip as I understand it) in my brand-new B320.
I checked via a tool from Intel that my drivers were up-to-date (version 15.22.1.2361).
I checked via Device Manager Update Drivers that my driver was up-to-date.
I attempted to uninstall and re-install my driver BUT the uninstall reverted me to a VGA Adapter (so my screen was then running in a low res 800x600 mode!) and I could not even then see the Intel Integrated Graphics card in Device Manager to be able to re-install the driver against (even if I ran scan for new hardware): I had to restore to a System Restore Point - so the problem has of course come back.
I have even had one error where the screen then went completely blank and nothing would bring it back: I had to power off the PC (Ouch!)
PLEASE advise how I rectify this incredibly frustrating problem step-by-step.

hey johnestlea,
i was going through the download list of the B320 here : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=156819
And could not find any driver with the version 15.22.1.2361 for the Intel Integrated Graphic Card. Where did you get that version ?

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 process

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 processor and does a screen resolution of more than 1024 x 768 make any diference in elements 11? What should I be looking for to enable elements 11 to work efficiently without over specing? thanks folks !

PSE doesn't make big demands on the graphics card, but you want a screen that is at least 800 px tall to be able to use all the features. Some things, like the raw converter, may not appear at less than that.

Is a dedicated graphics card better than an integrated graphics card for running Logic Pro?

I am trying to figure out if a dedicated graphics card is better than an integrated graphics card for using Logic Pro. I have heard opinions supporting both. From what I have been told a Mac mini with an integrated graphics card would work just fine. I have also heard that a modest dedicated graphics card could also benefit Logic Pro. Honestly, I have heard more people saying that the integrated graphics card on the Mac mini would do the job. But still, I have heard a couple people (even 2 senior Mac experts) state that a dedicated graphics card (iMac) is the way to go. Maybe a Mac mini with integrated graphics card will do the job, but an iMac would do the job better, I don't know, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

One thing is Logic Pro and another thing is Final Cut Pro. Logic Pro is a music production app, so it doesn't use the GPU heavily and you can use it with an integrated GPU without any problem. However, video editing apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie will note the difference

Disabling the integrated graphics card or updating any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

So I couldn't activate Assassin's Creed 3 on bootcamp which I shuold have been able todo. I posted it on Ubistoft Support and This is what I got!
Hello ,
It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.
So I was wondering how I could disable the intergrated grahics card or update any software that will aid the ocmputer in switching between the two graphic chips.

The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

Can i install nVidia PCI express graphics card on a ATI X200 motherboard

Is ATI X200 motherboard compatible with nVidia PCI Xpress graphics card(Gforce 6series card)?
My system configuration
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
ATI XPRESS 200 RS482M2 Series Motherboard
512 MB DDR RAM

It is indeed my friend, I have put an NVidea G-Force 6600 PCI-E in a MSI RS482M-IL Motherboard (using the ATI Chipset) and it works a dream , not a problem. The only advantage of using an ATI card is that the catalyst drivers on the CD for the motherboard works with the card!

NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M Graphics Card for PC Laptop

I am looking to buy a new laptop PC.
Does the NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M graphics card work with the Mercury Playback engine.

I can tell you first hand that it works on my laptop with the "soft-hack". I am using a Sager custom build with 3 internal drives and an eSata external drive for my media.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My response may be a bit slow as I am on assignment in Afghanistan.

Satelite A505-S6025 Nvidia Geforce 310m Graphics Card

Hello everyone, I was wondering if its possible to upgrade my graphics card from the 310m to the Nvidia Geforce GT 330? If so how would i go about doing that? Thanks.

Ok seriously that arguement is VERY old. You obviously have not opened a laptop since at least 2006. Quit spouting out misinformation. Laptop video cards are typically only intergrated into the motherboard if it is a LOW end laptop. Please consider flipping your laptop over, unscrewing a few small phillips head screws... and taking a look into your hardware before you spread misinformation. THANK YOU. Its not 1999 anymore sir. That being said, I am also looking into upgrading my laptops video card. This has proven to be very difficult on every laptop I have tried to upgrade but there are few cards that are interchangable within Model/Make. sometimes you get lucky... Sometimes youre hosed. 310m to 330m is probably feasible. I am looking into a newer card that is at least DX11 capable... but form factor is the end all be all in laptop hardware upgrades.... not software. That is the golden rule to live by, take a USPS view on the matter.... If it fits, it ships. CPU, RAM, GPU.... My current i3 will be replaced soon by an i7. my 4gb of ram will soon be replaced with 8gb... and the GPU WILL see an upgrade... I may not be able to step up a generation as I want to, but there WILL be a better card. Its sad that so many people STILL are convinced that video cards are integrated. Remember as always YMMV. Certain companies embrace the change and others dont care so much about you being able to upgrade their products (see people that think GPUs are intergrated segment).
