Old AMD drivers - switching graphic mod

Hello,
I have got Probook 4530s, I have bought GTA V, tryed install and it is working!! 25-30 FPS with actualy graphic card 7470M.
But while I am playing about 10 minutes my drivers will crash -> AMD radeon drivers stoped work, restarted. I tryed download latest amd radeon graphic drivers (amd-catalyst-15.4beta-64bit-win7-apr9.exe), but have found HP doesnt support these drivers, HP must have own drivers with switching graphics in the Windows! 
So then I tryed disable "switch graphic" in bios(7.7, last update 2015), but it will set intel graphic which I dont want!
is here any way to switch graphic to the AMD while "switch graphic" is dissable? 
IF NOT
Can HP release new graphic drivers or bios setting where you can set up graphic which will be use without "switch graphic"?
IF NOT
Can you tell me why I bought hp notebook?
I have to say, this notebook is awesome, it ran everything, CRYSIS 2, FARCRY 3, GTA IV, BORDERLANDS 2, BORDERLANDS PRE SQUEAL (I had to set up fixed switch graphic in catalys control panel, powerfull graphic AMD, dont know, but auto switcher didnt ever work)
and now GTA V, 25-30FPS, without any problems, sometimes little lag, but it all and about 10 minutes... booom drivers stoped work... Please HP I bealive you are good, I recommend to add choose graphic with "switch graphic = dissable" into bios,
I mean:
if (switch graphic == dissable)
      user can choose between intel and AMD
because While I installed latest amd drivers it was working, but still ran at intel graphic.

Ok, now I can see the pictures not sure why I couldn't the first time they do look high but that is what happens when you play a HI demanding game the graphics chipset will heat up. But I think this has something to do with the fact that the video chipset most likely can't handle HD games. But works find for everyday usage and since GTA is a HD game that would require something like a Gaming Laptop that cost upwards and beyond 2000US for HD gaming and to handle the high temperature produced in HD gaming.

  • Switching graphics mode (9600m gt) - OSX hangs at subsequent login screen

    Haven't been able to find anything on this. When I switch the graphics mode through the Energy Saver Preferences (whether from battery life to performance or vice versa), it takes me back to the login screen as it should, but the computer hangs there, sometimes for upwards of five minutes.
    The cursor in the password field blinks but it takes no input. Plugging in an external keyboard makes no difference. The mouse pointer can be moved but clicking has no effect. After a few minutes, any inputs you've attempted to make rush back in at once and it works as usual.
    I'm not sure when this started, but it's been happening since at least 10.6.5.

    Hi there,
    I am new to Mac and got my MBP i7 2.0GHz, 8GB, SSD, OSX Lion 10.7.2 last month. Have you guys got any solution for the slow rendering of Youtube video? On my new MBP it can only run at resolution: 240p.
    The same video on Youtube at HD resolution runs perfectly on my old HP Core Duo laptop. Slightly dissapointed with Mac here. Tried to look around for solution via Google but no luck.
    It seems like no one from Apple support provides any solution for this problem. Are there any support at all from Apple???

  • Fixed graphic mode causes windows freezing dv7

    Hello guys,
    I have a question about my hp dv7-6b21sm which has i7 2670qm, 8gb of ddr3, 1tb of hdd and a hd6770m graphic card. Now to the problem.
    A little ago I've figured that battlefield 3 will not run in fullscreen unless I turn on "Fixed" graphic mode in bios. So that's what I did, switched from dynamic to fixed. And now the problem steps in. Everytime I choose the "fixed" mode, the PC boots into windows and then works for, let's say about 2-3min and then freezes and a reboot is in order. Dynamic mode doesn't do that. I have found no bios upgrades, mine is a version F.02, so I've tried to flash it to F.1b and it is not working. Just says that this driver is not for my dv7.
    The next problem I've came across aswell is that if I run the game call of duty 2, the game automatically chooses the Intel hd 3000 although I've set the switchable graphics to High Performance. What the F? Still runs pretty smooth but I can't keep it with constant 250 fps ingame (don't ask why, a matter of being used to playing at that framerate).
    The third problem looks like it is some sort of a "Standard" for HP. Overheating. My god. I'm playing skyrim on lowest settings and my gpu idles at about 50°C when under load, it jumps up to about 80°C. Is that like normal for HP notebooks? I remember playing it on my brothers ASUS and his max temps were about 60°C in a high mode, with same specs as my HP only graphics were Nvidia gt555m.
    Oh and just remember the 4th problem. Youtube HD videos. Why is it that if I watch a HD video ripped from blu-ray, the picture is clean and sharp and colorful. Even Vimeo works like a charm on this machine for watching HD videos. Now when I go to youtube, play a video in 720p or 1080p or even Original quality, and put it to fullscreen, everything becomes square-like and choppy and graphics look like they are 240p stretched to full screen. I mean seriously HP...Is it that hard to make something with a little more quality to it? I've payed like 1000eur for this machine. For that money I would expect that it'd be working like charm.
    Thank you for your replys guys,
    zitnikp

    Overheating is commonly reported in HP notebooks during intensive tasks like gaming. 80 degrees seems suspiciously high for gpu temps, are your sure you didnt mix this with your CPU temp. I have similar specs except with 1gb of vga memory and can normally play Skyrim at high settings at 1366x768 res, temperatures for my cpu can range from 60s to 70s but my gpu rarely goes past 70 degrees. If you set HP coolsense to 'coolest mode' this should solve your problem. As for your graphics problem, have you tried updating to latest amd drivers? 8.882.2.3xxx should be latest 

  • Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

    Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give.  I'm at a loss at the moment.  Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop.  I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time).  The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.  
    I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one.  When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
    From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
    But what if it doesn't.  Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
    Any suggestions?  Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
    Appreciate any assistance, guys.
    Nervous in PA.

    Hi,
    I see two possibilities.
    The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
    The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
    Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps.  If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

  • AMD CCC / switchable graphics not working properly

    Hi all,
    ok first of all i read bunch of posts on this forums, and on most of them i saw only responds with links and to download and update drivers - and those things seems not to work for most of people. So i decided to write here a post where someone will actually fix this problem because it is common on most of HP laptops.
    First of all, i bought my laptop in Qatar while i was on bussiness there.
    Model: Pavilion dv6-6b20se
    Product Number: A6N20EA#ABV
    Graphics: Intel HD 3000 and AMD HD 6490
    I bought this computer because im working as an architect and designer and sometimes i need it for rendering, and yea i would like to mention that part time i love to play games. So at that time (2 years ago) and for that money it was pretty decent laptop.
    So i've never touched anything myself on laptop, i always let my HP Support Assisstant do the work it is on computer. To be honest i didnt even know that this option of Switchable graphics exist. Until yesterday when i put game to play and i got problem wherever i press ESC it closes came and it crashes.
    I googled around and I saw that the problem apears when your graphic card is low.
    Requirements for the game:
    Minimum System Requirements
    MinimumOS: Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7
    Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
    Memory: 1 GB RAM for Windows XP / 2 GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7
    Graphics: 256 MB (With Pixel Shader 3.0 support)
    DirectX: DirectX 9.0 c compatible
    Hard Drive: 15 GB
    Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible
    Supported Chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater, ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater.
    Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 7300, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, and 9300; ATI Radeon HD3200 and HD 4350 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to the video and sound card drivers may also be required.
    Recommended System Requirements
    OS: Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7
    Processor: 2.6+ GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
    Memory: 2 GB RAM
    Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, or better
    DirectX: DirectX 9.0c August 2008 (included)
    Hard Drive: 15 GB
    Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible
    So by looks of specs here and specs of my computer and the game is like 4 years old, it should fly on my computer.
    I googled a bit more and i saw that every program reads only Intel HD graphic card and not AMD. Ok so i went and checked tutorilas on youtube how to switch it and there is where my suprise was. When i open CCC as per everyone on internet i dont have Switchable Graphic option - only Power Play. So i read on your website that some computers need to be set in BIOS from Dynamic which was my original setting to FIXED. I did that to but my option when i right click on desktop for switchable graphics disaper and my CCC is not working.
    Ok so i went to your website again, was looking for original drivers for my computer. And there are 3 drivers.
    1.AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver
    2.AMD/Intel Switchable High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
    3.Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
    Ok so when i download them, i can install only No.1, other two i get message that i dont have minimum requirements.
    so i checked those to, and it says that  you need to have windows 7 which i have since i got this laptop with original licensed product.
    The thing is when i install new version of AMD driver and CCC i get switchable graphics option when i right-click on desktop, but when i get in in CCC i get defoult page and there is no option to switch. When i update intel graphics i loose switching. Either way, it wont work, and im stuck with crappy card that i cant use on bunch of programs and games that i need it for.
    So please for once give us a bit detailed answer on how we can fix this. Because it is not only me that have this problem, alot of people are having them and they still cant fix this.
    Sorry for my lenghty post, but i thought i needed to explain in more debth.
    Thanks in front for reading and takning time to answer.

    And yea i forgot one thing. When ever i instal newer version of AMD driver in Device manager it changes from AMD HD 6490M to AMD HD 7400M Series. Dont know why it constatnly does that.

  • Problems installing amd drivers on HP Dv7 for windows 10

    I have the HP DV7 4263cl with switchable graphics AMD chipset M880G with both Mobility Radeon HD 4250  and AMD 6370m. My processor is the AMD Phenom II.  The drivers on HP's support site for my laptop are very old (2010) and work fine in Windows 7. However when I try to install the drivers in compatability mode on in Windows 8.1 or 10 or manually install them through the device manager, my computer does not respond well and doesnt install everything fully and either shuts down or shows a blue error screen.
     I have tried everything and haven't had any luck getting these installed.  Please Help!!!! 

    Yours is the third post I've seen about switchable graphics not working in Windows 10. Sadly, you may have to simply hope for a Windows 10 driver update. Have you checked for a Chipset or BIOS/UEFI update? Maybe you would have better luck on the AMD forum.   If you found my answer helpful please say thanks by clicking on the Thumb's Up icon. Thanks!

  • Switch Graphic on GX70 3CC question

    Hello everyone
    I'm very new for notebook gaming and GX70 3CC is my first!
    So I have question about switch graphic function on GX70 3CC. It have HD8650G on A10 and R9 M290X.
    I go to AMD CCC and make it run with maximum power and then I run 3D Benchmark when result come..... result show me it test by HD8650G not R9 M290X and score just around 1750?!?  but when 3D run power buttom light show me on red for GPU mode (In my opinion my GX70 switch graphic from HD8650G to R9 M290X)
    Why it use HD8650G  Where is my R9? why it run with HD8650G
    I use driver come with it first time from MSI didn't update anything yet.
    So I didn't know is normal or problem. If it a problem please tell me solution.
    Thank you

    What the 3DMark 11's version you have?
    It's possible when the old version of bench mark tool haven't add the new graphics information to the program, so it will not recognized the graphics or read the wrong one.
    Update:
    The latest version of 3DMark 11 is v1.0.5 and also don't forget to update the SystemInfo to latest version 4.30.
    Make sure when running the benchmark, the power button is lighting orange for using dGPU.
    For two graphics platform(SLI), the graphics can be recognized wrong when the program can't detect the one which is running. I wouldn't take the information too serieous as long as the score is fine.
    Is it possible that you can run the P score instead of the X? The P score is more commonly used.

  • Driver upgrade for AMD Radeon 5770 Graphics Card

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro, running OSX 10.8.5. Just installed AMD Radeon 5770 graphics card (Apple says this isn't supported; users I read said it works despite what Apple says in knowledge article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477). When I restarted, the system said my card was a Radeon HD 5000, not 5770. AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site? It's not clear, and they also suggested, talk to Apple to get driver support. Here's where I went, and found the choice not clearly mapped out for the Mac (and their autodetect software works only for XP:

    RE: Mac Pro silver tower (2006-2012) Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
    One more thing--
    Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. "for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available.

  • Need assistance with AMD drivers (HDMI Audio Out)

    Short version:
    I have an older AMD graphics card that won't work right with the open source drivers. The proprietary driver would potentially fix my problems, but it is incompatible with my current system.
    Long version:
    I've got this lovely old AMD Graphics card, which happens to be a Radeon HD 4250 card, and despite all of the help articles in the wiki, as well as the AMD Bar & Grill thread, I still can't get the darn thing to work properly. As of right now, I'm currently using the open-source xf86-video-ati driver. While it's a nice driver that performs well for day-to-day things, I can't seem to get the more nitpicky things working properly. One such thing, is HDMI Audio support.
    Now don't go and bite my head off just yet: yes, I did read the help articles for that problem as well. I must have tried every possible fix in them, and then some. Video-out through HDMI works, at least. It's only when I try to force the audio (by adding radeon.audio=1 to GRUB) when my TV tells me it can't recognize the signal. Through all of this extensive trial-and-error, I've basically concluded that I have no other choice but to use the proprietary fglrx driver from AMD. Yay.
    Sure, sounds easy enough, right? Not really...
    Since my card is a bit older than the others, my only option is to use the 12.6 legacy version of the driver, which only supports Xorg version 1.12 and lower, as well as version 3.4 or lower of the Linux kernel. As most of us know, with Arch Linux being the bleeding-edge distro as it is, I currently run Xorg version 1.14 with Linux kernel 3.8. I've searched around for a possible way to downgrade both of these to the appropriate versions, but I've gotten more or less the same answer: downgrading is more trouble than it's worth.
    SO.... that brings me to this:
    I think I need to completely reinstall Arch Linux from the ground-up, once more. This time, however, I think I need to somehow tell it to install with older versions of both Xorg and the Linux kernel. This way, fglrx has no reason to be incompatible with my system, and I can finally quit fighting this problem and go on with my life. I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this (or if it's possible, for that matter), but that's why I'm here, and I'm definitely willing to try it in order to get this solved once and for all.
    Of course, this is just my theory of how to fix this, but if anyone thinks they can help me get the open source drivers to behave properly, please, be my guest.
    Either way, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    P.S.
    I wasn't sure what terminal outputs anyone may have needed for this, so if someone needs to see a particular output from the terminal, just ask.

    I'm not quite sure what HDMI version the TV has. It's a Magnavox 32ME402V 32" HDTV, if it's relevant. Same goes for the laptop. It's a Pavilion dv6-3025dx laptop, but I have no ide what version of HDMI it's currently running. I'd suspect both of them are running something along the lines of 1.3 or 1.4, but I don't know. The cable is, well, a cable. I know it's a Sony brand cable, and the box advertised it for the PS3, though the box doesn't specify an HDMI version either.

  • Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS is not listed(seen)

    Hi everyone!
    I've read that:
    NOTE: If you do not see Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS or it cannot be selected, see the following section Updating the BIOS to enable Fixed Mode .
    However,  I didn't see that switachable craphics mode is seen in my BIOS:

    Also, I would say that my BOIS is not a UEFI BIOS because I cannot navigate the menus with a mouse but only just with the keyboard.
    However, I really was told that I shouldn't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem with it.
    Thus, I am afraid that if I had updated it, I would be encountring some problems not loading my machine well. However, I really want to know how to switch to external or internal adapter, thus I read here:

  • T430 screen flicker in Discrete Graphics Mode (BIOS)

    I recently bought a t430 with both igpu and dgpu 5400m and I'm loving it.
    When I first received it I tried to connect it to a TV but it had issues which I later found was due to Optimus. So I followed a solution that suggested that I switch the BIOS Graphics mode to 'Discrete Graphics' instead of 'Optimus (default)'.
    But when I changed to Discrete, I get an artifacted Flicker on the screen whenever there is a hardware acceleration (not sure if thats the right word for it).
    For instance if I move a folder window around the desktop, the moment i start moving it and hardware acc kicks in, i get this flicker. Then when I let it go and hd-acc turns off then I get anoter flicker on the screen. I can reproduce the flicker everytime I maximize and minimize a window/page that has animation/high fps content. If I run a game on it then the flicker occurs only once at the begining, and repeats after i minimize/exit the game.
    I tried fraps to capture it and whats funny is that when I play that capture on my laptop I can see the flicker, but when I run the same video on my Desktop, i dont see any flickers in the video at all. Could be my laptop flickering to the Video Playback.

    engr_ali,
    Are you connecting via external VGA or displayport?   If you have tried driver and setting changes as suggested by others, and if you are using a VGA connection, see if you can connect your external display via the display port connection to see if the symptoms go away.

  • AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver Problem

    Hi
    Okay so I play a game called "The Sims 4", and if any of you are familiar with it then you know what I am talking about when I say I am testing mods out. I was doing this for a couple hours and came across some bad mods, so I delete them. Well I put a few more mods in my game and went in, everything seemed fine, then got out. When I went to go back in an error message came up saying "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware." I then proceeded into my game which did not work. So I came onto this site to update my driver and downloaded the "AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver". There was two options both the same name and same description one was a few megabite larger. After then I restarted my computer tried my game out and it still did not work. I then took out the mods I put into my game right before this all went haywire, and my game worked....BUT VERYYYY LAGGY! I was so frustrated with this that I shut down my computer hoping a miricle would happen next time I turned it on....only to turn it on this morning and that SAME error message came up! SO NOW WHAT? How to I unistall the graphics driver I downloaded (becuase I think its making my game laggy and it did not solve the initial problem.
    Any help is appricated! - Lulejojo

    Thank you so much indeed,
    Could you please take some of your precious time out to really answer these questions below of mine?
    Firstly:: I really have run this Utility(amdcleanuputility) to remove all components of the prvious installation of AMD Radeon and Mobile Inte Graphics.
    I was propmted that  tool will do as it is shown below in the screen shot.
    I agreed. Then, it completed. Is 'AMD cleanup utility' recommended by you?
    Then, the graphics adapters in the device manager became as follows:
    Secondly: I think that it is now the point to reinstall AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver_Software Packaging Numbr(SP55092)_Driver Version 8.882.2.3000.
    Thirdly: Moreover, I would be saying that I lost the audio on my System once the (amdcleanuputility) has completed, although its icon is still intact(screen shot below)
    Must I need to reinstall IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver_Sp55094_Version6.10.6345.0????
    Finally::  in your link about downloading the drivers for my product name. I found Driver-Graphics (5) . However, all what I need is the finall one which is an already-downloaded file with me. Could you please let me know what about the other four graphics drivers????????

  • Lenovo g510 AMD drivers BLUE SCREEN

    Hi there,
    I recently bought a Lenovo g510 with AMD Radeon graphics card. When I try to install the driver for the graphics card, i got a blue screen. I then cannot even enter Windows in safe mode. Only thing I can do is startup repair which takes forever. Before trying to install the driver, I cannot see the AMD graphics card under the display adaptors in device manager. I run Windows 7 64 bit. 
    Please help. 
    Panos.

    Hi,
    After a lot of tries I have tried Windows 8.1. This time when I install the drivers the graphics card is shown in device manager but I cannot open Catalyst manager. I got the message:
    "catalyst control center cannot be started there are currently no settings that can be configured"
    This is what I tried:
    1.Downloaded the drivers from lenovo website for chipset, Intel HD graphics and AMD graphics
    2.Swhitched off the internet so that Windows doesnt download drivers for the Intel HD graphics
    3.Uninstalled Intel and AMD drivers
    4. Installed the Intel driver
    5. Installed the AMD driver
    This doesnt seem to work. Some time after I install the AMD driver, the screen goes black and even if I restart the PC. Only thing I can do is to open in safe mode and uninstall the AMD drivers. I dont know if it does matter but I havent activated the Windows yet (I dont want to by them unless I know that my laptop is fully functional).
    This is what I get in hardware ids in device manager for the video controller.

  • Manually switch graphics on HP

    On my notebook (HP Pavilion f008sr) haves two videocards. It`s HD 8610G (bad(( ) and Radeon R7 M260 2GB. I`m want to manually switch graphics on my notebook. I`m bought it for games and for capture video from them (YouTube Channel). And i need AMD Drivers with manual switch, and BIOS. On my BIOS F.36 not those function. Help me, HP! I like u!))

    The specification (see http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-Pro-8600-Plus-e-All-in-One-Printer-series---N911/43... ) of the OfficeJet Pro 8600 series printers indicates that the only supported Page Description Language is HP PCL 3 enhanced.
    I believe that PCL 3 enhanced (and other PCL3-based PDLs such as PCL3GUI) are primarily raster-based, in that each page is made up of one (or a series of) encapsulated, compressed raster images; the compression may use proprietary methods.
    i.e. it doesn't support any vector image constructs at all.
    The language supports a (very) small number of PCL escape sequences to provide the raster encapsulation and device initialisation. 
    I don't think that HP publish details of any of these PDLs used by inkjet printers.
