T410 i3, integrated graphics, 1080p playback

Hey guys,
Sorry if this seems to be a topic that pops up over and over on the internet. I've been digging around a lot and have failed to find any definite answers to this question. It seems like some review sites are saying that the T410 has no problem with 1080p playback but doesn't specify the exact specifications for the machines tested for video playback. There is also a guy on youtube who posted a video review of 720p and 1080p playback from a T410 i3 integrated and says that video playback was fine for 720 but choppy for 1080; however, when peopel recommended coreAVC, no response was given.
Can anyone here give me their experience with 1080p playback with integrated graphics on a T410?
And also another quick question, I'm aware that the displayport to hdmi will carry audio as well, but for the video, does it carry the raw HD content, or is it scaled down.
Thanks very much indeed!

1. The T410 with i3 CPU runs the 1080p playback fine, whether or not it is choppy depends on the quality of the encoding and what player is used. The integrated GPU is designed for hardware decoding of the 1080p videos in Blu-ray.
2. The displayport will carry the specific video size that you specify in the windows. It can support WQXGA resolution. But if you specify the output to 1920 x 1080 then it would do so at that resolution.

T410 with integrated graphics - DVI output not working on Mini Dock 3 (4337)

I tried connecting my external monitor to the DVI output of the Mini Dock and it did not work. I have since connected it with no issus to the VGA output.
However, I want to use the digital (DVI) connection for my monitor........how can i fix this issue?
NOTE: I have a T410 with the integrated graphics so my laptop screen does not display while docked (I keep the lid closed).

Hi MarkinIt,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with no Display when connected to docking station on your ThinkPad T410.
Have you checked updating the Intel graphic driver from Lenovo support site?
Please provide the current Graphic driver version showing in device manager.
Is the system having Windows 7 or Windows 8 OS?
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

T410 Dual monitor support with integrated graphics

I am considering purchasing a T410 with integrated graphics, but I need to make sure it will support dual digital displays (with a dock of course). I use a T500 for work, and when I switch to the integrated chip, I am unable to use dual monitors.
Can someone confirm that the T410 (integrated graphics) can use dual digital displays with a dock?

Should work. That NEC is 1920x1080 which is suported on the single-link DVI. DP can handle even more. The dock has both DVI and DP. Your ThinkPad supports the 2 monitor outs. My understanding is the ThinkPad LCD would need to be off when you do this; the specs on the dock mention max 2 monitors simultaneously.

T410: From Graphics: Intel GMA HD Integrated Graphics to Graphics: NVIDIA NVS 3100M with 256MB DDR3

Hi, I have a Thinkpad T410. I bought it with integrated graphics card. Now i want to upgrade to the other one: Graphics: NVIDIA NVS 3100M with 256MB DDR3. Is that possible? thanks a lot

You'd have to replace the motherboard.
A better solution would probably be to get an eGPU; it's way way way faster.

Lenovo T410 - issue with i5 520M integrated graphics

Hi,
I recently installed Arch on a Lenovo T410. Following the guides in various wikis (Archwiki, ThinkWiki) I was able to configure everything without too much troubles...
But I have the feeling that the the integrated graphics chipset is not perfectly handled. I get this feeling when I run glxgears:
$ glxgears
307 frames in 5.0 seconds = 61.224 FPS
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.490 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.688 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.688 FPS

Any ideas or suggestions will be welcome, also I would like to know if there are any relevant resources on the internet concerning integrated chipsets and the implementation status of the linux drivers.
Thanks,

If your hardware is bleeding edge it's very likely to not yet be fully supported. In the case of Clarkdale/Arrandale i believe support is added in 2.6.33.
I suppose you could find that information by searching the forum for clarkdale, by browsing http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux26Changes or asking in irc / forums / usenet. But tbh i can't find much information about Clarkdale either.
For comparison though, i have ~800 fps on my Thinkpad X200s and 1100 fps on my i3-530 machine (Clarkdale) with kernel 2.6.32.10. Kernel 2.6.33.2-1 (testing repository) gives me ~800 - 900 fps.

No DVI output with T420 on integrated graphics card and Mini Dock Series 3

Because of some application problems I have to set my new T420 to only use the integrated graphics card (disabling the NVidia Optimus feature). In this configuration I seem to be unable to use the DVI port on the Mini Dock Series 3, there is simply no signal and Windows reports that no monitor could be found. The VGA output works but the picture quality is quite bad.
Is this a known design limitation or do I deal with a driver issue?
Thanks
Dan

Yes, that works but there is the drawback of battery life. In the course of the day I often undock the laptop to go to meetings and using the discreet graphics card uses a lot more power and significantly reduces the time i can work without power. I would have to restart the laptop and change the setting in the BIOS after I undock, which is just not practical. For what I do I don't need the graphics power of the discreet card.

ITunes 10.6/Quicktime 7 1080p playback issue/frame skipping

I have a playback issue with the 1080p videos on the recent version of iTunes - 10.6. I also tried playing the same videos on Quicktime where I was able to find that the videos were playing at around 20fps as opposed to their normal rate - 24fps~25fps.
I seem to barely meet the 1080p playback requirements on iTunes, but I know that I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Window Media Player(WMP) 12 without any issues. Aside from WMP, I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Youtube whenever hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume that WMP utilizes hardware acceleration as well.
The playback issue/frame skipping is probably caused by iTunes 10.6 not using hardware acceleration.

Systemd multiseat with NVidia card and Intel integrated graphics

I'm trying to set up multiseat Gnome 3 on a system running the nvidia proprietary drivers. The first seat on the nvidia GPU is working fine. For the second seat I'm trying to use an integrated Intel GPU, but all I get is the GDM "Oh no, something has gone wrong" screen. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it could be because the intel driver is also trying to load nvidia's libglx.so:

One thing you can do to ensure highest perfomance on games is go to the Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings, Programs, then find the game you want and set it to use only NVIDIA High Performance (or Discrete) graphics. You can't use both cards at the same time as of writing this (DirectX 11), but with the arrival of Windows 10 and DirectX 12 on July 29 you will be able to use both at once to increase performance. Until then, though, it is simply not possible to use both at once. The best option is to just use the GTX 860M.

Thinkpad T420, Integrated Graphics, Dual Monitors

Warning: this isn't really a problem thread. I've looked and looked but can't find a definitive answer for my question.
I'm seriously considering a Thinkpad T420 for a new work laptop. I've heard great things from many people, but the most important question has yet to be answered: if I get one with integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000), will dual monitors work with VGA and DisplayPort with a DVI adapter? It's crucial that I'm able to use two external monitors simultaneously and I'm sick of using TwinView because I can't rotate a monitor. Can anyone confirm that this works?

according to tabook.pdf
Intel HD Graphics 3000 in processor,
external analog monitor support via VGA DB-15 connector and
digital monitor support via DisplayPort (supports single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915);
supports dual independent display;
Maximum external resolution: 2560x1600 (DisplayPort)@60Hz;
2048x1536 (VGA)@75Hz; 1920x1200@60Hz (single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915)
So, it looks like the hardware is certainly capable of it.

T400 - only integrated graphics?

There seems to be only integrated graphics for the T400 (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with vPro)... Can a dedicated graphics card be added to it?

Do you mean the T400 literally, or some other machine? Do you already have the T400, or are you shopping?
My T400 has both integrated and discrete graphics - "switchable".

GX70 Disable integrated graphics?

Did some googling for ways to disable the 8650 on board graphics and some sources pointed towards BIOS, I had a look around in there and didn't see any such option.
Is there a way to turn off integrated graphics, I use my laptop plugged in 99% of the time so power consumption isn't an issue. I am applying for a beta and they want my dxdiag uploaded, would rather my dxidiag show my dedicated graphics however it is showing the integrated one instead.
Any solutions I am missing?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks.
Is there a way to confirm which graphics is being used by which application?
I know you can configure switchable graphics, but is there any way to confirm that the didicated GPU is being used by a game?
you can see it by power button if it's blue then it's using intel one if it's orange it's using nvidia one blue can be white as well depending on laptop.

Repeated error from Intel integrated Graphics card in my brand-new B320

Hi
I am getting repeated errors from the Intel Integrated Graphics card (on the Intel i3 chip as I understand it) in my brand-new B320.
I checked via a tool from Intel that my drivers were up-to-date (version 15.22.1.2361).
I checked via Device Manager Update Drivers that my driver was up-to-date.
I attempted to uninstall and re-install my driver BUT the uninstall reverted me to a VGA Adapter (so my screen was then running in a low res 800x600 mode!) and I could not even then see the Intel Integrated Graphics card in Device Manager to be able to re-install the driver against (even if I ran scan for new hardware): I had to restore to a System Restore Point - so the problem has of course come back.
I have even had one error where the screen then went completely blank and nothing would bring it back: I had to power off the PC (Ouch!)
PLEASE advise how I rectify this incredibly frustrating problem step-by-step.

hey johnestlea,
i was going through the download list of the B320 here : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=156819
And could not find any driver with the version 15.22.1.2361 for the Intel Integrated Graphic Card. Where did you get that version ?

S10 integrated graphic chipset ?

Hello, I'm about to puchase an S10 and I wonder if the motherboard integrate any basic graphic controler (like an intel gma 950 for instance) ?
This would allow to boot and start configuring the S10 without any PCIe card.
Thanks !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

welcome to the forum!
neither of the ThinkStation models have integrated graphics. they will always need a PCI-e x16 graphics card to display video.

C2D 2.16 HD 1080P Playback

Waiting for my C2D 2.16 still(finally upgrading). I have a question regarding the power of the new MBP's even the 2.16 if they can play HD 1080P quicktime files like the ones at the apple movie trailers. I owned a PB 1.6 17" before and it could not handle anything other than 480p. I also tried CD MPB and 1080p playback was choppy. Thanks.

Playback may be smooth on the MBP display, but I should hope so, since no MBP can display it back natively (1080p = 1920x1080 resolution, 17" MBP = 1680x1050, 15" MBP = 1440x900).
Whether or not the MBP C2D can display the full 1920x1080p via DVI to a fully capable 1080p set is another story.
-edit-
One thing I can relay from the dark side (PC/Win) is that the video card (GPU and RAM) played a larger part in the ability to play HD video than a slight speed bump in the processor (and I do view the CD to C2D as a speed bump and not a revolutionary step).
I know the ATI x1600 is viewed as a pretty decent video card, but nowhere near top of the line. Maybe the 256MB flavor will play back HD video more smoothly than the 128MB, but that's just a guess.

Maybe someone will try the exe file installation and report back -
I followed the manual installation instructions and for now everything works fine.

Hi mate
First of all thanks a lot
Ive got a U400 and I have installed a Intel graphic card driver from the Intel page too.
I didnt execute the exe file but I updated my driver in device manager.
This worked fine.
Also I read here in the forum that drivers from external pages can be used only at the own risk because such drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba
However, my U400 run trouble free till now.
