Problems with graphics card with CS5

I am working a freelace gig using a G5 computer with Lion.
When using CS5 photoshop there seems to be a problem using
Mode/Index/Custom when using the eyedropper to select colors.
I use the work around "key command" which is totally anoying.
There is also a bug with the color picker/eydropper within the documents.
I read that this has to do with the graphics card.
Which graphics card do I need to resolve this issue?

There are known issues/limitations with graphics cards in earlier machines.
Known issues | Adobe on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Tested video cards | Photoshop CS5 - Adobe
We need to know specific about your Mac Pro (not a G5).
Click on "About This Mac" from the  in the menu bar, then "More Information" followed by "System Report".
Tell us what is said for Model Identifier under Hardware Overview, and then what is entered for Video Card under Hardware/Graphics-Displays

Problems with graphics card (GPU)

I'm having problems with the graphics card (GPU) in my 2010 MB Pro leading to screen distortions. It seems similar to the problems described here: http://9to5mac.com/2014/10/28/apple-class-action-lawsuit-2011-macbook-pro-gpu-gr aphics-issues
Unfortunately, my machine is not eligible under the class-action suit (and well out of warranty). Is anyone else dealing with this and how did you fix it?
Thanks!

What was updated? Care to pastebin your pacman.log so we might actually know what went wrong? Also, in the future, naming a thread "update broke <package>" is not very helpful. Something like "OpenGL-dependant programs fail to run after updating <the package you think to be most relevant>" would be much more helpful and likely garner you many more people willing and able to help.
All the best,

Problems with graphics card with Windows 8 bootcamp on new imac

I just purchased a new 2013 imac (27inch, with the nvidia geforce gtx 680mx 2gb).
I partitioned the drive using bootcamp and successfully installed windows 8 pro 64bit as well as the support softward from Apple for the drivers.
My problem is that the display in windows says it is being run by a Microsoft basic display adapter and only using 256mb of memory and doesn't seem to be an Nvidia card at all, let alone the 2gb of video memory I am supposed to have.
I have tried downloading drivers directly from Nvidia, but when I run them it says I don't have compatible hardware.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue.
Please help.

After I read other discussions on the same topic, I found out that the problem is that when you install the drivers via the Bootcamp "windows support software" USB key, for some reason the NVIDIA drivers are not installed, although they are present in the Bootcamp folder.
How I solved the issue: Starting from the Peripherals Manager window (the one that shows all what is inside your machine), I opened the Graphic card "folder" and double-clicked on the "VGA standard card" line.
Then I clicked on a "install driver" button, browse through files, and selected the NVIDIA folder within the Bootcamp folder on the USB key.
It took some time but after that it had fully recognized the GTX 680 MX card.
I rebooted and the system itself set up to the 2560 x 1440 resolution.

Possible problem with graphic card dv7-1245dx?

Help!!!! I am having a situation where my screen suddenly turns white with black lines going from top to bottom - looks like a pin stripe affect. I have executed several different anti-virus and malware programs and nothing was identified. If I turn my PC off and re-boot, I may be ok for a few minutes before it occurs again. Did some searching and ran into a possible graphic card issue defining what seems close to my situation. Can you help me in further diagnosing the issue? Recent update: I was just powering my PC up and now my screen flashes like lightening and is now stiped side to side and vibrating like crazy. 'Owenmama'

eww, thanks for that advice! I've just brought my MacBook Pro back from service and you were right. It was this problem and they repaired it for free:)
Thanks a lot!

ITunes 8 XP upgrade causing problems with graphics card

Am writing this on behalf of a friend who is telling me that when he updated iTunes to version 8 on his Sony Vaio laptop it has impacted on his ATI graphics card- making his screen something like 640x480 resolution.
Any ideas how this can be resolved?
Sorry I don't have more info right now, but perhaps this is enough for someone for some general advice

It is not really possible to give help second hand. Your friend needs to post the question directly.
What happens if the screen resolution setting is corrected?
If there are persistent problems check the manufacturer's download site for driver updates.
On a different tack, Sony Viaos come with software that is not compatible with iTunes and this can lead to problems with the library.

Satellite A660-1HL - problems with graphics card

Hello!
This is my first thread so I apologize if I do something wrong and for my bad English. :)
Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-1hl with two graphics cards, one integrated and a GeForce GT 330M. The integrated works fine but when I switch to the dedicated I encounter problems. The resolution can not be set in optimum mode and windows in the operatingsystem (windows 7) lags when moving around. I can not get any info about the card in all sorts of temperature programs or dxdiag and the such like.
I tried to install drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update without any improvement. I can not run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or any average games do to I encounter error messages there as well. I'm starting to doubt that the drivers even installed.
I hope you guys can help me out :)
this is the error messages i get:

You should test the RAM (Memory) for problems using the Microsoft Memory Test or www.memtest.org (bootable CD).
To confirm it's a hardware problem, you should backup your documents and run Recovery.
If the problem still happen on a fresh image, then the notebook should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a Mainboard replacement).

Hp pavilion 15-p00nx Problem with graphics cards in Windows 8.1

I just bought an Hp pavillion 15-p005nx , as i run any game i have a massage that my graphic card is low , but the graphic card is NVIDA Geforce 840M and Intel HD graphic family but the games see only the intel video card what should i do ?? !!

Hello @MeZoOo
Welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that your trying to play games on your notebook and would like it to run off the Nvidia graphics. I will try to assist with this.
The easiest way to achieve this is by going into Device Manager, clicking the "+" next to display adapters and disabling the Intel. Restart the notebook, this will force the Nvidia adapter to be the primary. This would mean the notebook no longer runs the Intel, which eliminates switchable graphics. If you've bought the notebook to "game" on, then I'd recommend this.
The other option that may work, is using the HP Support Assistant to make sure the drivers are up to date, even though just bought it the drivers installed may not be the newest, this can effect performance.
I hope this is able to help you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Problems with Graphic Card

Hi, I'm a newbie on Archlinux and I just install it on my rellativlly old computer (Dell Optiplex GX270). I follow all steps of the Begginers guide and when I finally install and run the desktop environment (KDE) the desktop effects runs with lots of problems and I hardly can desactivate them. This is not a big problem because I would desactivate them anyway, but also the look of fonts is very poor. Antialiasing is activated and it's obvious that it is, but the appareance of fonts is still very poor.
I post it in this section because I don't think it is a KDE missconfiguration, but a Graphic card bad choice of drivers or perhaps a missconfiguration of this.
My graphic card is an "Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller", and I install "xf86-video-intel". When i intall it I don't do nothing more to configure xorg because guide says that it is optional for free controllers.
There is a pair of pics of the appareance of the fonts (by the way, i think firefox looks worst if it is possible):

Hi! I think, it's not your graphic card, but further configuration of fonts and look of gtk apps.
Follow this Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gtk. Firefox is GTK-based, you need to configure GTK (file ~/.gtkrc-2.0).
Also, for configuring Fonts: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts. And as your laptop is old, try using lighter programs and DE. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … plications
Goof luck!

Problems with graphics card

hi,
I have a notebook hp pavilion dv6940el running windows vista home basic 32-bit.
Because of problems I had to format your PC and reboot windows I recognize a generic video card and all games do not work.
If I try to install the updated drivers from the HP website, windows recognizes the video card nvidia geforce 8400M GS but on reboot when it should load the operating system makes the monitor strips.
I have also tried with older drivers, I tried to update the bios to 'latest version, but nothing.
can someone help me?
thanks

Hi:
From what you have written, the video is shot on the motherboard.
Very common problem with that model. There was actually a recall on that board many years ago due to the huge amount of failures. The window for the recall has long been closed though.
There are some you tube videos for how to try and fix the problem.

Hello @CrazyWolf ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, the Switchable Graphics feature allows you to switch between using the Intel graphics and a discrete graphics controller like AMD in a computer. For example, you can switch between the enhanced battery life of the Intel graphics while running on laptop battery power and the performance capabilities of the discrete graphics controller while the laptop is plugged into AC power. Your Notebook will automatically switch to the Intel graphics if the computer changes to battery power, or it can switch to the discrete graphics if the computer is plugged into AC power. Some computers use third party software to do the switch.
I hope this help explain this.
Thanks.

MOVED: Media Live : Problem with graphics card with vista Ultimate

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=112530.0

Thank you for replying. I had no idea I had a response. It is a Windows 7 Home Premium. The game is actually now a few different ones for my child, Baby Luv, Brave & Disney Princesses. None of them will work. I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 graphics card in this (Compaq Presario All-In-One Desktop PC) and I just posted another question in the forum about wanting to know if I can replace the grahics card with a HD card and if so how? I have looked online but can't find an answer. Is it possible to replace the card or with it being an all-in-one is it not possible? Thank you.

HP 500-054 problem with graphics card

I just bought my HP 500-054 PC and also bought an upgraded graphics card and a more powerful, power supply to run the graphics card...to the best of my knowledge the graphics card (XFX radeon R7770 ultra OC edition) is set up properly in my PC and connected to the new power supply. If i try to boot from the new graphics card nothing displays on my monitor and the PC just beeps 3 times. If I boot from the onboard graphics card then everything works like it should. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on this if maybe i set up the graphics card wrong or if there are settings on the PC I need to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi:
Your second assumption is correct.
There are settings in the BIOS you need to change when installing an non-HP video adapter in a PC with W8.
Please read the info at the link below and you should be all set after following the guidance there.

This question was solved.

Yes, that is what is supposed to happen.
Your notebook has dynamic graphics adapters.
On notebooks with dynamic graphics adapters, you can't go into the BIOS and set the R7 adapter as the default, like you can on notebooks with fixed graphics.
The notebook will decide what GPU to use based on the demand placed on the graphics processor(s).
There haven't been any consumer notebooks made in several years that have the fixed graphics type of setup.
