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.

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).

Problems with graphics card running windows on bootcamp..

I currently have Windows Vista 32 bit installed on my mac with bootcamp. The reason I have it installed is I want to run an MMO RPG (DDO) on my mac and it is only supported on windows.
However it will not allow me to play it as it says that no graphics device could be located (Game error 122 for those that play it)
My question is how I utilise the graphics card from the mac onto windows, as the VGA adaptor doesn't seem to be sufficient??
Either that or does anyone know of a way I can play DDO through MAC OS??
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Just tried what you recommended, but still to no avail..
What's confusing me is the following;
1)When checking system performance it tells me that my graphics are as follows
Graphics - Desktop performance for Windows Aero
Gaming Graphics - 3D Buisness and Gaming graphics performance.
2)http://svc.systemrequirementslab.com explains that I cannot run the game due to my graphics being inferior (I highly doubt this).
Minimum: 64 MB video card with Hardware T&L
(NVIDIA GeForce 2+ / ATI Radeon VE+)
You Have: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
3)Just as the game is about to boot up it gives me the following message;
[Game Error 122] No suitable graphics device was found. Are you running through a rmeote session or a VM? If not, please check your video hardware capabilities.
I'm literally 30seconds away from throwing this macbook out the window, please can anyone help?!
Thanks x

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.

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.

Are there known issues with graphics cards?

I have an Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with 8GB of RAM and a graphics card with
Intel HD Graphics
Type:    GPU
Bus:    Built-In
VRAM (Total):    288 MB
Vendor:    Intel (0x8086)
Device ID:    0x0046
Revision ID:    0x0018
gMux Version:    1.9.21
My screen occassionaly gets completely scrambled, where I move the trackpad and windows and other things will ghosted items will materialize in the background, though I am unable to click on anything or do anything, so I have to cut the power. This happens when I only have 1 or maybe 2 programs open.
Are there any known issues with the graphics cards on these Macbook Pros? Anyone know what might be causing it?
Thanks.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Imac Graphics cards with Premiere Pro cs6

Hello
I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
Any help would be greatly apericated!
Kind regards
Philip

Hi Paul
You mention last week that you had the same problem as me with your new iMac and graphics card with cs6.
I was just onto Adobe and they told me that they could not assist.
Can you tell me who you death with?
I am really keen to get this card running!

Viewing HD online video at 1080P with graphic card ATI x1600

I seem to notice that when I am viewing videos in HD at 1080 the video tends to get choppy but then it start to work again normally, mean while when I go to my new macbook alum it works perfectly fine there is this because ATI x1600 doesn´t support 1080 HD trailer movies at that res, which it ***** because back then it use to work fine at 1080 is this a leopard driver issues or is it that the card is not powerful enough to handle that res, even though I have 256 of ram just as the same as the nvidia 9400m which has shared 256 of ram.

this is the link where my ATI X1600 graphics card with iMac intel duo core 2.0 gigahertz with 2 gigs of ram and my graphics is 256 of vram
has problem viewing smoothly the HD 1080P trailers, but it doesn´t have any problems viewing with the new macbook with the nvidia 9400m graphic cards is this probably because of an encoding issue or codec issues with these HD trailers.

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)?

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)? I need a laptop for college and the Engineering program suggests a dedicated video card with minimum 1GB of video memory.

I have a Intel HD 4000 in my Mac Mini (late 2012), and it's okay for what I need it.
However:
- there were a few issues with flickering on the video output to external monitors. These were solved through a firmware update that came with OSX 10.8.3 - for the majority of the users. There is apparently still a small group of users that still has issues. You can read long threads about this here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4472316?start=0&tstart=0
and here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4490924?start=0&tstart=0
So for most of us (me included) this issue is solved, but it seems that certain displays / monitors don't work well with the intel HD4000, don't know if there is a pattern or a list of monitor models...
- there was an issue with the color calibration on the HDMI output. No matter how much you tried to calibrate, the results remained unsatisfying. All light colors were crushed to white, wrong contrast, ...
You can read about this here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1482487
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4480354?start=0&tstart=0
The same firmware update improved this a little, good enough for me, but I can imagine it's not good enough if you do graphic work and need reliable colors from your monitor. On HDMI output, the thunderbolt/MDP output is fine. So it's mainly a dual monitor setup issue.
If it's for graphic work, I'd go for a Mac Book Pro with dedicated GPU !

Hello, thank you for all these informations.
Right now my graphic card current Bios Version is 80.04.00.2F (P2004.0010). Is it the good one ?
I've found out yesterday evening about the GPT Drive, when I saw it on my laptop which works fine with UEFI fastboot mode.
For the moment the main drive on my desktop is MBR formated SSD.
Is it safe to clone the MBR SSD Drive to another GPT formated SSD Drive ?
In my Partition soft I saw that it can convert MBR Drives to GPT without data loss. Could this work ?
Thanks for reading me.

Thanks, but are these are silent?
Why do they cost over 10 x what seems available for PC?
Is it not possible to flash the cards for mac?

Installation of ATI driver for Radeon X1300, X1400, V5200 graphic cards on Windows 8.1

Dear Thinkpad users. After many failures and zero support from official resources, this is a comprehensive, unbiased installation procedure for the official ATI driver with Catalyst Control Center for Radeon X1300, X1400, V5200 graphic cards on Windows 8.1. In my experience, the latest driver for these cards written for Windows Vista 32-/64-bit works flawlessly on Windows 8.1 and you will benefit from multi-monitor support, full HW-acceleration and the PowerPlay option in Catalyst Control Center as well. Install only the official ATI driver, no other modification required. (The installation may work also on non-Thinkpad systems, such as Dell etc. but I have not tested it on that systems)
Installation procedure:
1. Before installation, ensure you are logged as an administrator
2. Go to ‘Control Panel’ -> ‘Power Options’ and click on ‘Choose what the power buttons do’ option from the list on the left side of the window
3. Go to ‘Shut-down settings’ on the bottom and disable ‘Turn on fast start-up (recommended)’. Unchecking that checkbox is very important because it will prevent the problem with start-up black screen on the computer.
4. Go to ‘Control Panel’ again and choose ‘Programs and Features’, then click on ‘Turn Windows features on or off’
5. Select the checkbox ‘.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) to turn it on and wait until the installation is completed
6. Go to Windows update and install all important updates including those for ‘.NET Framework 3.5 as well
7. Download ATI video driver from the website of your hardware vendor. For Lenovo Thinkpad T60, T60p users the latest ATI video driver is for Windows Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), please visit http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t60... and download the driver
8. Once you have the driver downloaded right-click on the file and choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu.
9. Click on ‘Compatibility’ card then ‘Change settings for all users’ and check in the checkbox at ‘Compatibility mode’ with the option for Windows Vista as well as at ‘Run this program as an administrator’
10. Double left-click and install the program.
11. Go to the location ‘C:\drivers\WIN\VIDEO and open the file ‘Bin’ (for Windows 8.1 32-bit users) or ‘Bin64’ (for Windows 8.1 64-bit users)
12. Right click on ‘Setup’ file; choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu and repeat the step 9
13. Once you have set the properties, double left-click on that file and install the driver
14. Follow the installation instructions and finish the installation
15. Restart the computer
cheers
