Switcable graphics on dv6-6179er

HP dv6-6179er
Windows 8 Consumer Preview
I have a problem with switchable AMD ATI/Intel HD3000 graphics card in dynamic switch mode and in static mode.
I had tried a different combinations of driver software from HP download center, and from AMD official site, but all of them didn't solve the problem.
A lot of people in different MS forums ask this question.

Troubles with videocard dv6-6179er

After installing and using win 8.1 on my notebook, i decided to install AMD Catalist Center, because before it screen driver was installed automatically by windows, so, after installing driver for my Radeon HD 6500 M from official site , notebook starvated with black screen. After that I tried to install drivers from your site and from official site on win 7, win 8 . Results: installation process... "display driver is installing" screen should turn off three or more times, but after seccond extinction notebook is starvated. And next starting up is not successful, asking to recover system, after that process no video drivers on notebook is located.
More, I tried to recover system to factory parameters from CD, but after full recovery system is not started like after the installation video drivers, that is why i think that total trouble with my video card. What should I do? Thanks!

Hello @VladimirRus ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer is experiencing all sorts of graphics issues. It definitely does seem like the hardware is failing, but I will suggest a couple things to try.
Since you reinstalled the OS, try installing the graphics driver again:
AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
*Windows 7 is the only supported OS on this computer. I would have to advise only using Windows 7 64-bit.
If that doesn't help, I would call HP phone support, to possibly address the hardware. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

No Audio through DisplayPort in W500(Displayport to HDMI)

I have issue in getting audio when i use DisplayPort to HDMI cable to connect HDTV with in W500(ATI mobility FireGL V5700 ) with Lenova provided driver 8.752.4-101022a-107489C
But from ATI website can i use Driver version 8.773.1.1 for W500 ATI mobility FireGL V5700 TO SOLVE the audio over display port to HDMI Issue?
HDMI option is not shown up when i press Fn + F6 (advanced audio)
Is there any separate audio drivers for this model ?
Can i able to install microsoft HD audio UAA driver for this model?
In 2009 forums , Intel limitation was mentioned . I thought by this time any fix available for this issue
This model has discrete switcable graphics option between (intel AMT and ATI fireGL mobility) And ATI has the feature of Display port audio , HDMI audio from the latest drivers.
Does it mean Lenova have n't integrated the latest reference driver from ATI to solve the issue?
Any way to enable audio in BIOS level ?
I heard the same model with NVIDIA graphics card can able to get audio through display port to HDMI cable
Thanks in advance

This wiki page says it is possible for w500
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/DisplayPort
Audio over DisplayPort when used in conjunction with a DisplayPort to HDMI conversion cable is confirmed to work on W500, T410 and T510 both on integrated and discrete graphics options on Windows systems.
So it is confusing.
please justify for the reply/answers so that we can conclude.
Thanks

Windows 8.1 and AMD Catalyst updated driver- HP Envy 17t-3200

I've updated my HP Envy 17t-3200 to Windows 8.1Pro. Ran into a some issues but I was able to find a fix (ie. brightness-dimming button fix). Now I just found out my steam game, NBA 2K14 won't work using switchable graphics I was using windows 8 with nba2k14 with switchable graphics and set to high performance and the game played smoothly but after I installed windows 8.1 now my NBA2k14 still plays but in low graphics (power saving) and if I set switcable graphics to high performance I only get a black screen with audio gameplay in the background. Need help! I downloaded the latest drivers in the HP support website, Released:2012-10-18 File name: SP58812.exe [1/1, 298.3M] Version8.982.6.0 Compatibility:Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) I'm hoping an updated driver comes out soon for Windows 8.1. Is there a fix out there besides waitiing for the updated driver? All my other games work flawlessly though.

i have the same problem before in windows 8 running smoothly but now i upgraded to windows 8.1 pro when i use switchable graphic the screen goes black only sounds please help

Dedicated Graphic Card Failure (ATI) - HP Pavilion DV6

Hey guys,
I have HP pavilion Dv6 which have AMD Radeon Graphics card(may be 69xx or 74xx radeon series 1Gb ddr3).
Currently i have installed Windows 7 & Ubuntu(Dual boot).
Problem:
I was playing NFS when the system froze,so i turned it off forcefully, after that laptop always get stuck at windows logo.I also tried to switch the (bios)dynamic option(graphic) to fixed,in this option i do get past the logo but i am presented with blank screen ,in short no luck.
However i have managed to get it to work with ubuntu with intel default video card , through advanced recovery option.
What can i do to use some how similar approach for windows 7 i.e disable dedicated video card?
Can Graphics card can be repaired/changed easily?
Thanks

Have you checked the hard drive using Diagnostics in BIOS? Or F2 immediately after power on? (F2 may not work if you deleted the Diagnostic partition to install Ubuntu)

Can i change graphic settings on a "HP Pavilion dv6-3161eo Entertainment notebook pc"?

Hi
I have a "HP Pavilion dv6-3161eo Entertainment notebook pc" and I run Windows 7 64-bit. Lately I bought a lot of games, and I was hoping to play them without any problems. I have been able to before, so nothing should get in my way for doing it now. But it seems that my graphic settings keep changing from time to time, since when I play, I get a lot of lagg, both online and offline. Sometimes I can play the games without any lagg, but the most times the games lagg when I play them. The times when I can play without any problems, I can also watch HD movies online, which I can't when i can't play the games without lagg. To make an example, I bought a game called "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". When the game starts up, it automatically "Detect your video hardware and set video options accordingly". The most times when I start up the game, it sets the video quality to "low quality", but sometimes it sets the video quality to "high quality". Those times, I can also play the other games without lagg. I am almost sure, it is because my graphic settings on the pc are being changed, but I dont know how, or how to do it manually. So is it possible to solve this problem and/or change the graphic settings manually?

You might have too many things running on the pc, such as browsers, music players, downloaders as you load the game which would explain the erratic behavior of the game checking your available settings.
PS, Skyrim Rocks, as does MW3

How to Switch the graphic adapter in HP DV6-7078Ca

I want to change the graphic adapter from Intel to Nvidia because the intel is only 64 MB
How can i switch to Nvidia which is 2GB

Hi,
It's been done automatically. Go to the nVidia Control Panel and have a look at the settings. You can set each application or program to run on a different graphics card but it's been set to auto as default. Auto means that the default card is the shared Intel HD X000 for a common usage but when you start playing games or run a video editing program it will automatically swich the graphics to nVidia. The Intel shared graphics has more than 64MB of RAM. It uses the main laptop RAM so in case that you have got 8GB of RAM the Intel HD graphics could take up to 1.5GB of RAM from it. Means that the laptop reserves up to 1.5GB of RAM for the Intel card and the rest can be used by the system.

HP Pavilion dv6-3151st AMD GRAPHICS is not INSTALLING

I have HP Pavilion dv6-3151st. I have a problem. Amd graphics is not installing. I downloaded from http://support.hp.com/tr-tr/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/4247579/model/4320740It did not install.And i downloaded from amd http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloadIt installed but games and others are using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. Please help. I am not using my graphic card.

Hi: The only suggestion I can offer would be to try manually installing the windows 7 graphics driver from your notebook's support and driver page. If that doesn't work then there is no solution that I know of. Here is a post from another forum member with the same gpu and I tried helping him to no avail. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/problem-with-HDMI/m-p/5162972#M302151 He did not reply back to let me know if the W7 driver worked or not.

HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Graphics Card Upgrade!!!

Hello is there a way i can replace and upgrade my HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl's graphics card? I would like to play some of the newer games on the market but the graphics card seems to be holding me back. If there isn't a way I can replace it, is there a way to raise it without physically replacing the part?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Hi,
No, you can't, the "Intel HD Graphics 3000" is soldered to the otherboard. Actually we can't change video card on nearly all laptops.

HP Pavilion DV6 Graphics Upgrade

Hello ladies & gentlemen,
I'm the proud owner of a HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook. The only flaw I've found is that it doesn't have a good video performance (which is a shame for a having an 720p HD display). The graphics device installed is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family.
How can I upgrade my Notebook graphics and video processing?
If you need any more information in order to answer my question, please tell me.
Thanking beforehand,

Hi,
For all practical purposes, it's not possible to upgrade your graphics device as the graphics chip is physically soldered to the Motherboard of your notebook.
Best wishes,

HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo, Radeon HD 6770M, switchable graphics, update Catalyst Control Center

Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo
I have installed windows 7 64 bit
Graphics cards: Switchable Intel and Radeon HD 6770M
So far, I have been using the graphics driver provided by HP including Catalyst Control Center, and it has been working fine.
I recently bought a new game: Wolfenstein:New order. I fulfill minimum requirements.
When trying to run the game, I am informed, that my Catalyst Control Center must be 14.4 or newer: Fatal error, and game cannot run.
How can I update my Catalyst Control Center to 14.4 or newer? Both graphics cards (switchable) should be working.
Thanks a lot in advance - This issue is really getting on my nerves!

Hi @Guggermand
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your notebooks works fine except when you try to play your new Wolfenstein New Order game, at which time it informs you that your Catalyst Control Center is out of date and must be 14.4 or higher. You stated installed Windows 7 64 bit.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran The HP Support Assistant to aid with updating drivers and resolving issues.
Here is a link to the latest recommended HP driver AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver sp55092.exe for you system.
If that does not update your current version of the Catalyst Control Center, you will need to check the AMD website.

Graphics performance not up to scratch ?? (dv6)

HP Pavilion dv6-3206ax Entertainment Notebook PC
windows 7 (64bit)
not sure my graphics card or system is working propelry; basic, old games lag...
and newer games e.g. shogun 2 (messes up on menue screen and takes ages to launch the game,....menu screen has blue jagged lines, un useable)...
Rome total war lags on medium or high settings, and sometimes stutters on even low settings (jumps and stutters) kinda weird...
think the discerete graphics card is kinda good (specs-wise) so..maybe its a setting ro something,...
my hardware drivers are up to date...(as per the Australian site...for my model)..
hopefully someone can tel me if i need to change anything, or if their a bug or something. ?? ??
is their issue or bugs, or a settings i need to change...?

I looked at the specs through "about this mac" and it shows a Geforce FX5200 graphics card. I know this is not in the list of compatible cards, however, the iMac G5 does not have a replacable graphics card, and yet the iMac G5 1.8 GHz IS listed as one of the computers that can be used for Aperture.
If Apple tells me now that this is actually not true, then their minimum specs are misleading.
