i installed the drivers they work fine but games give low fps as the seem to be running on intel hd 4000.
plz help i think gpu is not giving any performance .

Hi umairrafiq13,
Just to make sure, have you assigned AMD Graphics to the games you play? If not, follow the steps below to enable switchable graphics:
Right click an empty area on the desktop.
Select “ATI Catalyst Control Center” from the context menu that appears.
Click Power and select Switchable Graphics
Choose an application (in your case the games) from the list or browse and select an application and assign the appropriate GPU.
If Switchable graphics is configured properly, please install GPU-Z and check under “Sensors” tab in the application while running the game in the background. It will show you the GPU being used as AMD Graphics.
Note: This 3rd party application is exclusively my suggestion based on the personal research and experience. Usage of this application is purely based on your discretion.
By the way, which is the benchmarking application you are using to check the FPS for the games and what are the games you are benchmarking?

Brightness unadjustable for "High Performance" in Switchable Graphics Card Technology

Hello,
I have just transitioned to Windows 7 Professional on my Thinkpad R400(2787-A31)
However, after installing the Thinkpad Switchable Graphics Card driver, i am unable to adjust my brightness if i am using the High Performance mode. My laptop comes with ATi Radeon 3470 and Intel GMA 4500MHD.
I have already installed most of the drivers, and after some testing i realised that it was the switchable graphics driver that cause this problem. Before installation of this driver, i was on the ATi Radeon all the while and i can change the brightness.
I hope some one can help me with this driver issue. My installation of the drivers was from the support page. All except the PCI Simple Communications Controller has their drivers.
Solved!

Rosemars,
Thank you very much for solving the problem.
The key solution lies with the BIOS update. For people who cannot get the tool to work(mine keep giving an error message), there's an alternativie BIOS update utility at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70351
This is for R400 and T400s, for other models please select your model number at the Support page and find the utility.
Cheers & Thumb Up!

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Issued me a refund check for my repair.
Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

HP Pavilion G4 1003-TX Graphic Card Problem

Hello... I have HP pavilion G4 1003TX laptop which cureently having graphic card problem. Technician at my place said that's caused by the solder connection on my Radeon graphic card. He said it can be repaired, but the same problem will happen again soon unless i replaced my graphic card with new one.
In my laptop, i have Radeon and Intel graphic card which i can switch freely. My question is, if i change from my Radeon to my Intel graphic card, is my graphic card problem solved? Is my laptop still will not last long unless i buy new graphic card?
Please help me if you know the answer. Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

So my laptop will not start after i turned it on. The technician said it because some solder connection on the graphic card so it need to be resoldered. He warn me that the same problem will happen again soon since it's sign that my VGA card will dead. After he resoldered, my laptop can work normally for 3 months. Now, after 3 months, my laptop can't start again just like before. The technician said it because of solder connection of my VGA card again.
So, since my laptop has Intel and Radeon VGA card that i can switch, is switching my VGA card form Radeon to Intel will solve my Radeon VGA card dead problem? Will my laptop can work normally if i switch my VGA card to Intel?

Mail (4.6) in OS10.6.8 shows several photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.). Could it be a graphics card problem?

My mother-in-law's MacBook Pro 13 (m2009) Mail (4.6) with OS 10.6.8 shows several
photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.).
Could it be a graphics card problem?
Or a bad unpacking of attachments over poor WiFi/Internet?
If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks from Japan!

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

HT1553 my laptop screen has gone blank, probably graphic card problem. i want to back it up. please help

my laptop screen has gone blank probably due to graphic card problem.i need to back up my content as i have bought a new mac and do not intend on repairing the old one. please help

Try a Target disk:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card. Again I would take it the Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
Hoe this helps.

Purchased Radeon 4650 VisionTek graphics card from Dell to update Dell Inspiron 580 -- won't work

I recently called Dell to determine what graphics cards were compatible with my computer and was told a VisionTek DMS59 4650 would be the right hardware to enable me to use two new monitors with HDMI and DP ports.
The ports on the card were a bit of surprise..they needed 3 adapters to get from what was there to what I wanted. No telling how the signal changes across that interface.
I installed the card according to instructions. I did not see an additional pin for extra power. I disabled the drivers for my existing card--I didn't want to uninstall everything for fear I would completely lose the ability to plug anything in and see a screen. I tried deleting the grapics card from the bios but there were no bios options for doing that.
I called the "let us help you install this" hotline on my receipt only to be switched over to hardware support at Dell where I got bounced back and forth from in warranty to out of warranty groups only to be told I had to call the graphics card manufacturer and that the helpline was in error.
I am getting ready to return the card.
Maybe someone has a solution.

Problem with switchable graphic cards after installing windows 10

Dear support, after installing windows 10 i lost option to switch my graphic cards. I already have installed new drivers for win10 64-bit. But it doesn't work. New drivers which i downloaded here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+10+-+64 doesn't support my graphic card. So i don't know what to do to get right drivers and be able to switch my graphic cards. Thanks for any help.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you installed Windows 10 and that switchable graphics is not working for you. I am happy to help. Unfortunately this is not something that AMD can help with, as it is a customized driver for your notebook. Did you do the Windows 10 installation as an upgrade and if so which operating system did you upgrade from? The existing HP drivers can be found here: HP Pavilion g6-1004ev Notebook PC but they are for Windows 7 or 8 depending on your choices. You could try those and install it using compatibility mode and see if that works. How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 - answers.microsoft.com Let me know if that works for you.

Video playback is too slow on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 7520 15R)

Hello all!
I tried to resolve this issue by myself and using google but nothing happens and that's why I'm here
I hope you can help me with this
So what I have:
The PR launched successfully but if I add any video from my gopro 2 (720p@60fps) and try to play it without any effects I will got frozen video after 2-3 sec of watching and ~90% of frames are lost.
What I did:
Upgrade bios to the latest version
Install Radeon drivers from Dell web site (because latest driver from AMD doesn't install on my lp)
Note:
The GPUSniffer.exe displayed only my HD Graphics 4000 and can't see Radeon HD 7730M - so I think this is the key to solve the problem.
Also the driver package from Dell web doesn't contain ATI panel where I can find the Switchable Graphics Method
My configuration:
15.6" (1920x1080) WLED
Intel Core i7-3632QM (2.2 ГГц)
RAM 8 ГБ
AMD Radeon HD 7730M GPU and Intel HD Graphics 4000
HDD 1 TB
OS: Windows 8
Adobe Premiere CS6

Graphic card problems - AMD Fire Pro M5100 in AutoCAD and Intel 4600 in Windows applications

Hello,
I have some serious problems with graphic cards in my laptop. All newest drivers are downloaded and installed from HP site.
First problem is related to rendering some applications. Some GUI elements have horizontal stripes. This can be observed also in HP Support Assistant app. The problem is visible in screenshot. If I disable hybrid mode in BIOS, then the problem disappears.
The second problem is related to AutoCAD 2015. Some of the GUI elements are not rendered correctly. But that does not bother me that much, a bigger problem is related to hardware acceleration. AutoCAD successfully detect my graphic card (AMD Fire Pro M5100), but when I switch on the hardware acceleration mode everything starts to work very slowly. It is impossible to work with some larger documents. If I disable hardware acceleration, everything works very smoothly.
I do not believe that this graphic card does not have the power to work with basic CAD drawing. On AutoCAD forum I received information that this is probably related to bad drivers.
Can anybody help me? This laptop has been recommended to me for CAD work and I am a bit dissapointed. But I am sure that this can be fixed.
AMD drivers: 14.301.1003.1003-141203a-178403C-HP
Intel drivers: 10.18.10.3871 (I have also tried the newest ones, 10.18.10.3995 - no difference)

From this link, some people have found success by downgrading their graphics driver to an previous version. Looks like there are a few peole experiencing issues with AutoDesk products and this card - you might also try to contact AutoDesk directly and ask if they have a certified driver for your card.
Incidentally, I have the same card, though I am experiencing a different problem. I swapped in a dell version of the card into my HP machine, but now realize that I need the HP VBIOS instead of the Dell to get it to run.
If my answer helped you and you have a spare minute or two, I would be very grateful if you'd share a copy of your (hp-specific) VBIOS from your card?
If so, download GPU-Z, start it and hit, "Save to file..." to save the .rom for your card. Attach file to resonse to share.
Best of luck in sorting out the performance issues. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that Autodesk uses DirectX more where Firepro's emphasize Opengl performance. Hopefully one of these driver fixes will make a difference.

Driver issues for Radeon HD 6750M switchable graphic card

Hello guys, took time for me to decide wether to join forums like this just to get real help coz goggle doesn't show any solution with my issue. i was able to update my video card with the old raptr app from amd and allowed me to maximize the feature of my laptop. after format i can't install these drivers "sp52929 & sp61216" for the said graphic card and the new and updated raptr is not somehow working. i get this error "The contents of the file cannot be unpacked. the executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity and try again" (monitored the download and its not corrupted or anything) or using the driver from amd official site (tried different versions like amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit, AMD-Catalyst-HDMI-Hotfix-Win8.1-Win7-Dec10 etc.), the installation is fine but it's not functioning and this is the error i get "no amd graphics driver is installed or the amd driver is not functioning properly. please install the amd driver appropriate for your amd hardware" and "you do not have the compatible vga hardware to driver" during installation it reverts my resolution back to 800x600 as if it conflicts with the Intel HD Graphics Family. tried uninstalling intel hd graphics family first and install the radeon but it seems that the driver itself really is the problem. does anyone here experiencing the same? or someone here who can tell me what's really going on? thanks i advance Referrence: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/latest-driver-for-amd-graphic-card-not-working/m-p/5150764#M113344

Please uninstall the currently installed Intel Drivers and AMD driver. (if present in Programs and features and device manager).Once all traces are removed, restart the PC and install the Driver file sp52929.exe becase (read the yellow text below) Download Link:ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq//sp52501-53000/sp52929.exe Info:ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq//sp52501-53000/sp52929.html This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst
Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported
operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package

From what I can find out.
14 Jan 2013 - my client was experiencing display artifaces and the graphics card failed the Dell Diags video memory test. The graphic card replaced by Dell Tech.
13 Jun 2013 - my client was again experiencing display artifaces, running Dell Diags reported both hard drive and graphic video memory failed testing. I was concerned that the graphic card had failed again so quickly I worried there may be another defective part was causing the graphic card failure. I figured the most likely cause would be overheating and since the graphics card has an independent heatsink and cooling fan assembly I submitted Dell Warranty Request W03725377 requesting new hard drive, new graphics card, and new graphics card heatsink.
18 July 2013 - my client was again experiencing display problems. He reported:
The laptop has developed the same problem again. Soon as I switched it on over the weekend, the screen split into two and then it froze and then there were stripes on the screen. I shut it down and switched it on again, hoping this will work but the screen just remained black.
I booted into Dell Diags and shortly after starting the basic test when the test moved from solid blue to the GUI vertical yellow bars appeared. The yellow bars were visible throughout all testing except the LCD test and on the BIOS Screen. The LCD test didn't show the yellow vertical bars but it did show the repeating series of white dots that I have seen before with previous graphics card memory failures. I tried booting into Safe Mode and Safe Mode VGA 640 x 480. All attempts end with a black screen.
I can order and replace the graphics card under warranty but it seems obvious that something is causing the repeated graphic card failures and I want to fix the problem. I've been searching the forums and it seems other people have been experiencing related problems. I've quoted a thread I believe may be relevant
This thread explores a possible combination of LCD Panel Manufacturer and Graphics Card Manufacturer/ Model

I believe I have a similar problem with my Dell M6600 with AMD(ATI) M8900 graphics card. I've used the computer without problems for 1 1/2 years and 3 days ago I noticed the mouse pointer getting corrupted, then the screen flashed and went dark. I've tried system restore without success. When I remove all the ATI software, the computer works with the Generic VGA driver. I spent 2 days trying to reinstall the ATI drivers from both Dell and AMD with no success again. This has been very frustrating as it takes hours to do a system repair check, boot in Safe Mode and remove the ATI software.When the ATI driver/software bundle is installed the computer does not boot correctly and go to a black screen after the Windows boot up logo. As soon as I remove all the ATI drivers and software the computer boots again and works with the Generic VGA driver. I don't want to erase my hard drives (RAID 1) just to try to fix this. I will buy another laptop hard drive and try a clean Windows 7 Pro install. My guess is that either the graphic card is going bad or ATI drivers are not compatible with the latest Windows Update. Did you have any luck fixing your problem?

Possible Graphics Card Problem, Displays Won't Turn On and GPU Fan Screams

Hi,
I have an early 2009 (or 3,1) Mac Pro 8-core 2.8 Ghz using an 8800 GT and running the latest update of Snow Leopard. Yesterday I experienced an issue upon startup. It does chime, but the graphics card fan continues to run high until I power it off and the two displays (a Dell Ultrasharp lcd and a Studio lcd, though receiving power, will not come on.
I reset the PRAM and attempted to boot into safe mode, but neither worked. I then reseated the graphics card, and finally moved it to another slot without a resolution of the problem.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.
