T420 Nvidia and T430 Nvidia

Hi
 quick question...
1) Should I buy T420 or wait for T430u. What NVIDIA model is it gonna come with (T430u)? Is it worth the wait?
2) T420 has NVIDIA NVS 4200M Graphics with Optimus Technology, 1GB DDR3 Memory. Can I run Call of Duty Black Ops or MW3?
Please help 
Thanks a lot!!!

Hi all
@ JDay
From what I know, there are customers who wish to have a laptop with business reliability, at the same time having the capability to render 3D objects or play games.
@ TheDude
Lenovo have IdeaPad Y series as their gaming laptop, with slightly higher end graphics and JBL speakers. (Coming Y580 uses GTX660M). Maybe it's better to get T430 instead of T430u for your case, as thicker machine tends to have better cooling. If performance is more important than portability and you are either running serious 3D model or gaming, W530 would be recommended.
Have a nice day!

  • Multiple monitors with T430s (Nvidia)?

    I just received the T430s with Nvidia graphics, and am trying to display to two external monitors in addition to the laptop's LCD. Unfortunately, I'm not able to figure out how to do this. The Intel graphics settings only allow for 2 displays total, and the Nvidia control panel only contains the "3D Settings" section, which seems like a change from previous models. 
    Anyone have any ideas? I know this was possible with the T420s, and I find it hard to believe that they would remove this option.

     I'm just hoping that the Intel graphics can power at least 3 displays, though based on my testing I'm not hopeful.
    The HD 4000 (Ivy Bridge graphics), supports 3 displays. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOHBkFOyckY and http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/04/intels-tick-plus-third-generation-core-ivy-bridge-processors... for more details. 
    So what is happening when you connect the 3 displays?

  • Let's Be Honest / Save Time: Lenovo T430s (NVIDIA) DOES NOT Support Multiple Monitors

    There have been a few comments / complaints / articles around the web regarding the T430s and difficulties using multiple monitors.
    But since this capabilitiy is clearly documented in all of Lenovo's specifications and marketing literature, I went ahead and bought an i7, NVIDIA, SSD, T430s with the docking station and all the bells and whistles to facilitate 3 or even 4 monitors.
    Well please listen and let's be clear:  IT DOES NOT WORK. Therefore, to be clear:
    DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE AND DOCK IF YOU WANT IT TO LIVE UP TO ITS MULTI MONITOR PROMISE.
    In the two weeks since FedEx arrived, here is the deal:
    1) I fussed around with the dock and monitors at home and the office to no avail, for most of TWO weekends.  (I am not a beginner).
    2) Then, I spoke to Lenovo in Atlanta's tech support for THREE HOURS.  No results
    3) I spoke to Lenovo's "premium support" (paid) for FOUR HOURS.  No results.
    4) I consulted with a 3rd party expert on mulitple monitors who was kind enough to remote into my machine for another HOUR.  No results.
    5) Muliple parties have confirmed that yes, all hardware is working and yes, everything can be seen in device manager, and yes, the NVIDA card is properly switched on in the BIOS, yes I bought the i7 version etc.
    6) And just in case, yes, we wiped the drive clean for a factory reset, yes we unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and yes, we even deleted the Lenovo driver just in case the NVIDIA driver was newer or better and yes, we double checked the settings in the BIOS again.
    7) Yes, we tried every connector in the dock AND the laptop:  VGA, DVI, DP and mini DP - in EVERY possible combination.
    And NO, IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. AT ALL.  Two screens, take your pick, but THAT'S IT.
    Finally, not one but TWO technicians asked me to not quote them (so I wont mention any names) but that in their opinion IT JUST DOESNT WORK AT ALL, EVER, despite Lenovo's claims / insistance that it is configured for 3 and even 4 monitors.
    So the final conclusion was only that Lenovo must have rushed this T430 spec / configuration / capability to market (including the glossy brochures!) before figuring out that something is missing in the handshake between the mother board and the NVIDIA card? 
    Or in the firmware re swithing between the Intel (internal) and NVIDA card? 
    Or something else which prevents the NVIDIA card from seeing the ports on the laptop or the dock?
    In summary 1) you get NOTHING from the NVIDIA upgrade and with respect to more than 2 monitors, IT JUST DOES NOT WORK, AT ALL, EVER, PERIOD and END OF STORY.
    I too am a die hard old school Thinkpad enthusiast and with the company's service could match their classic products.
    I have an X201 that I generall love, but would appreciate more speed, an SSD and I have to drive at least 3 external monitors, using at least 1920 x 1080 resolution.
    Perhaps a W series Thinkpad would work, but I also travel so going up to the T430s was already a sacrifice vs the small size of the X201.
    There are some 3rd party solutions but they are expensive and not so sure how plug and play they are with 3 or more monitors - what the T430s and Mini Dock 3.0 are SUPPOSED TO DO.  But they dont.
    Not giving up yet, but this has been a real bummer.
    PS
    Lenovo was very focused, efficient, and uncompromising when charging my CC for "premium" support.
    Solved!

    Thors,
    Thank you and happy to report, albeit after all the hours and now weekend number 3:
    1) For the moment, I am able to repeat the 3 screen performance using mini DP from the Thinkpad and 2 DPs from the dock to the external monitors
    AND
    2) For the first time ever, I am just now for the first time running the 3rd external monitor from the VGA port on the dock.
    That is what I meant by using the various ports on the dock, so that the Thinkpad can simply be docked and undocked without connecting the mini DP - the purpose of a dock obviously.  As stated in other threads and articles, various configurations of the dock ports supposedly work to achieve 3 external screens, but until today was not able to do this.
    That is the good news and thank you for all help.
    The bad news is I stil have no clear idea why this has been so difficult, or where the problem lives that consumed so many hours of my own time and many hours with Lenovo tech support as stated above.
    Some success seems to have happened only after more than one set of LONG updates to Windows 7 (?)
    If I can replicate this set up the office (where I have 3 of the same monitors) I will be almost there.
    Thank you again to all for help and support.

  • T430 NVidia GPU not listed in device manager

    Hello -- I have a problem regarding the NVidia NVS 5400M inside the Thinkpad T430. I use Windows 8. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but the NVidia card no longer shows up in Device Manager and the NVidia driver (both the standard driver from their website AND Lenovo's Optimus driver) refuses to install, complaining it can't find any compatible hardware. Device Manager does not list any graphics cards or unknown devices, and as far as Windows is concerned the NVidia card does not exist.
    Here's a summary of what I see:
    In Discrete Graphics mode -- my Linux installation (which uses native NVidia drivers) works fine and uses the NVidia card. Windows 8 boots and runs with a generic graphics driver; there is a performance hit, and no graphics cards or unknown devices are listed in Device Manager. That's the problem I want to fix.
    In Optimus mode -- Windows 8 boots and runs with the Intel integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 4000) which is listed in Device Manager. Again, no other graphics cards or unknown devices are listed.
    I appreciate in advance any help towards getting the NVidia drivers installed successfully!
    Solved!

    Yep, still doesn't appear that the NVidia drivers from that package are installing. If I boot in Optimus mode, only the Intel card is shown in Device Manager. I'd like to not have to use Optimus and just stay in Discrete Graphics mode if possible because Linux support for Optimus is not very good.
    Would completely uninstalling all the drivers possibly help?
    Before you go through that hassle, try the following:
    1. Go into the BIOS Configuration Display setting and change it to Discrete only.  If you see a setting just below display that talks about OS detection, disable that as well otherwise it will try to flip back to Optimus.  F10 to save and exit.
    2. Go back into the BIOS settings and verify the setting was really saved.  Exit the BIOS settings (discarding this time) and boot Windows normally.
    3. Go to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO\NVIDIA and run setup.exe.  Use the Custom option for the mode after it does compat checks and asks for you to agree to the EULA.
    4. When you see the list of custom installation options, turn on the "Perform a clean installation" checkbox.  This should not present a problem if you don't have custom profiles.
    See if that works.

  • Hi ! I have a big problem with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 ! It may be broken or what seems to be the problem with the video drivers ? I have a built in internal Graphic 288 of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M of 512 of RAM !

    On Mountain Lion :
    It happens to turn of my monitor in different situations. Sometimes i believe i have my graphic video broken ! In my town i don't have Apple doctors so i dont risk to go to a service non authorized from apple !
    For example there was a day when it turns off when a simply pinch with thumb and 3 fingers for launchbad ...and the opperating sistem it should be restart from power button ! That was when i had Mountain lion 10.7.5 update
    Other situation was with photoshop cs6, cs5, cs4 30 days trial versions ...i couldn't buy any versions so i decided to test a earlier versions that can match with my sistem requirements. In all of this three situations my display had turned off after opening a image or photo or 3d graphics in photoshop...anyway sadness.
    Other situation : One day i was simply relaxing surfing facebook and ...than i've just simply open an advertising link ...and on that page i was waiting to load a video that used another player than flash player of youtube. Even two seconds didn't stayed open and trust me it turned off my display once again !
    After Mountain Lion :
    I told my story to to someone who holds an MacBook Pro i5 etc. and he told me to test the new mavericks maybe it's something broken in my operating system.... and believe me after 2 days of happiness with OS X MAVERICKS , last night my computer restarted because of a problem, and 2 hours ago again....why ? i don't know ! Maybe Video RAM or maybe Memory RAM or Maybe simple conflicts between Trial Photoshop and OS X or maybe my macbook it's 2 old...or i don't know ....for how much i used this mac it should run as an mustang !    MacBook Pro i7 Mid 2010 HDD 500 , 4 GB of DDR 3 , Intel built in Graphic 288 and an NVIDIA GE FORCE 512 , 15 inch display monitor , 283 real cicle counts ( my mac was used as an iphone while charging and using battery) ...i don't know what to do ! Please help !
    The Operating System shoes me everytime this error !

    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

  • [SOLVED] Nvidia and Xorg 1.8: Failed to Increase Resolution

    Hi there,
    with the new Xorg 1.8 I experienced the following Problem:
    When booting my system, the screen is set to 1680x1050 resolution which works fine.
    To play some games, I use to change the screen resolution to 1024x768 via xrandr.
    But when I try to set the resolution back to anything bigger than 1024x768, both xrandr and nvidia-settings fail.
    Output of xrandr:
    $ xrandr -s 1680x1050
    Failed to change the screen configuration!
    $ xrandr --verbose -s 1680x0105
    Size 1680x105 not found in available modes
    Trying to change the Resolution back to 1680x1050 by nvidia-settings:
    Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'DFP-0: 1680x1050 @1680x1050 +0+0' (Mode 1680x1050, id: 63) on X screen 0
    Would you like to remove this MetaMode?
    Then I try restarting my XServer (to get back the 1680 res), it crashes with following error message:
    /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select"

  • Help installing nvidia and X

    Hi
    new to Linux & Arch, having trouble running X, hoping someone could help!
    installed Arch no prob, followed wiki instructions for installing nvidia and then Xorg. When I try to start X I get "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!"
    modprobe nvidia
    gives an error too
    here is my Xorg log and xorg.conf. Hopefully someone can spot what I've done wrong!

  • NVIDIA and external monitor

    W520, Windows 7 (64 bit), NVIDIA Quadro 1000M 2GB DDR3, purchased November 2011.
    Problems (related?):
    -External monitor remains unrecognized when connected to W520.
    -NVIDIA not recognized or working.   Maybe reason external monitor not recognized?
    Tried to connect this computer to an HP2511x external monitor (via VGA direct to the computer or through docking station) but the monitor is not recognized.  Last made this connection about a year ago and it worked fine at that time: plugged the VGA cable into the W520 and the external monitor connected automatically, in duplicate mode.  The HP usually is connected to another computer and works fine, and the VGA cable was tested recently and is good. Tried the options at Fn/F7 and windows key/P:  the HP monitor remains black.
    Studied the external monitor issue in forums and learned about the NVIDIA comments.   In follow up, I learned that the NVIDIA device is not listed in my Device Manager, under Display Adapters or elsewhere.  Right-clicking the desktop does no bring up the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    When I do a search for the NVIDIA Control Panel, this message appears:
    “NVIDIA display settings are not available.   You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA  GPU.”  This appears whether VGA connected to the external monitor or not.
    I attempted, several times, to download the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA site via auto detection.  The auto detect page instructed me to download Java, but Java is already loaded and current.  So I entered the NVIDIA info manually, which eventually lead to this message:
    “NVIDIA Installer failed”
    HD Audio Driver – Not Installed
    NVIDIA WMI – Not Installed
    nView – Not Installed
    Graphics Driver – Failed
    3D Vision Driver – Not Installed
    So, I went to the Lenovo website and downloaded:
    “NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit) - ThinkPad”
    After a restart, right clicking the desktop still does not show the NVIDIA Control Panel. 
    The Device Manager shows:
    -Intel(R) HD Graphic Family
    -Unknown device
    I clicked on the Unknown device and read:
    -Device type: Display adapters
    Manufacturer: Unknown
    Location: PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0
    Device status: Reinstall the driver for this device. (Code 18)
    Then I clicked the Reinstall Driver button, which lead to this message:
    “Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.  NVIDIA Quadro 1000M”
    I went through the above processes several times to be certain that I did not miss something.
    There is a GeForce shortcut on the desktop and when clicked, leads to this message:
    “GeForce Experience encountered an error and must close.”
    Tried rebooting to BIOS:
    BIOS>Config>Display: the options are:
    -Boot Display Device (ThinkPad LCD) default
    -Graphic Device (NVIDIA Optimus)
    -OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus (enabled)
    Changed display to Graphic Device, tapped F10 to save and exit, then save, before computer goes into normal mode.
    Try Fn/F7, duplicate, then extend, then projector and in all cases the HP monitor remains black, unrecognized.  Message on W520 screen:
    “Unable to connect to a computer.
    No projector was detected.”
    So, back to reboot> BIOS>Config>Display were I find that the setup reverted to the default.  Changed display to OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus disabled.  Save, reboot, Fn/F7 and again no recognition of the HP monitor.  Reboot, BIOS etc, and the display option is back to the original default.
    What do I need to do to get NVIDIA and the external monitor working on this W520?
    Thank you.

    Hi RR
    1. Ensure your BIOS is set to NVIDIA Optimus for multiple monitor connectivity.
    2. Download and update your Intel and NVIDIA driver from it's official website. Clicking Intel and NVIDIA will link directly to the download page for latest driver.
    3. If the 2 above succeed, but Fn+F7 still can't display your external monitor. Try right click Desktop > NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Set up multiple displays. (The only workable method for W520 - Windows 8.1)

  • Bootcamp issue. I recently ran bootcamp on my late 09 macbook pro, and my Nvidia 9400m driver keeps crashing? Any ideas?

    So I have a late 09 macbok pro, with 2.25ghz or so core 2 duo processor, 8 gb of ram, and the nvidia geforce 9400m graphics card. I just recently used bootcamp to install windows, so I can run AutoDesk Revit, however every time I go to open Revit, I am informed that my graphics driver kernal failed and has made a full recovery. What am I doing wrong?? I really need this to work for school. Thank you all.

    Have you made sure you have all the bootcamp drivers installed and updated? If not, get them here. Download them from the mac side, put them on a flash drive, then restart onto the windows side. When you're in windows, run the setup off the flash drive, and when it's done, restart your computer, then log back into your windows partition, and see if the issue still exists. You might've just used bootcamp to install windows, but you might not've gotten the updated drivers.

  • [SOLVED] Refresh rate, nvidia and Quake Live

    I need help setting my monitor to 120HZ for 640*480, i have no idea how to do this using xorg.conf or nvidia-settings... nvidia-settings only shows as high as 85hz for this resolution. I'm not gonna be mean and say how simple doing this is in windows(guess i just did) Sorry ^^.
    I'm using a ViewSonic E70   17" CRT monitor and a Geforce4 mx420 with the nvidia-96xx proprietary driver from the repos.
    I really need 640*480 to get to 120 hz, should be simple enough!
    Thanks!

    If you look at the Nvidia docs it says in there somewhere why each monitor has a "unique" refresh rate.  It boils down to X is too stupid to do real dual monitors.  As a result, Nvidia presents to X two "separate" monitors; it differentiates them to X by using different refresh rates...thus you cannot (and should not even try) to set the monitors to use the same refresh rate.
    I'd suggest using nvidia-utils or nvidia-setup (not sure of the name but it will autocomplete on the command line if you just type "nvidia-") to set up twinview or separate X sessions or whatever you want.  It's easy to use and will even write an xorg.conf for you.  Failing that, look at randr on the wiki.
    i did nvidia-xconfig. and also activated the vsync in nvidia-settings. But no luck. Also when i chose seperate X in nvidia-settings my arch freezes. I am going to do a refresh install.

  • Today I stupidly tried to install CUDA accelerator forgetting I have Intel/AMD combo graphics card and not NVidia. Now when I try to launch AE or PremierePro I get this Last log message was: 140735120521568 GPUManager 2 Sniffer Result Code: 3 Help

    Today I stupidly tried to install CUDA accelerator forgetting I have Intel/AMD combo graphics card and not NVidia. Now when I try to launch AE or PremierePro I get this Last log message was: <140735120521568> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3.  I have trashed the CUDA program and reinstalled Premiere and AE but no joy.  Same message followed by another error box with options to Retry, Send to Apple or ignore.  I have tried all 3 options but nothing works!  Every time I launch either program same message appears.

    Hi? today i too have this problem.
    I found a solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25137524#25137524
    Now all good.
    Good luck!

  • Clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils

    I'm getting a clash between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils when upgrading. The error is:
    /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
    /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.1 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
    /usr/lib/libnvcuvid.so.260.19.29 exists in both 'nvidia-utils' and 'lib32-nvidia-utils'
    Anyone else getting this problem?

    No, I've been upgrading daily. I've experienced this sort of error before, but the clash has always been with existing files (usually after not upgrading for a while), not between two packages. Uninstalling, -Syu and reinstall didn't work, I still get the error.  I had a look at the .pkg.tar.gz, and it really does contain those files, so it looks like a packaging error.

  • Problem with Nvidia and SX08/05

    I just installed SX08/05. The installation worked fine until I installed the Nvidia drivers. About 5 seconds after the login screen appeared, the system locks up hard. The identical hardware ran fine with SX06/05 and the Nvidia driver.
    I believe it is related to the new AGP driver.
    Hardware
    Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466)
    GeForce 5200 video card
    Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas?

    The same problem, even with the latest nvidia-beta.
    Disable "glx" in Modules section helps, but it disables GLX!
    Video card: 6800gt
    And everything works fine with manually installed driver. Archlinux package is broken!
    I noticed one thing here:
    http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/n … 56&r2=2186
    for some reason
    install X11R6/lib/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.$pkgver $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/xorg/modules || return 1
    was commented out.
    But it's exists after official package install, maybe it's the problem?
