T61 graphics card

Can the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M be installed on the T61?  We just purchased new T61's and have found out that the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M card in them is not compatible with our SolidWorks software.
Thanks for your help.

they do not recommend using the NVS cards.
Navida is one of the major producers of system hardware componentry for both laptop and desktop systems.  You might want to ask Solidworks what they are going to do about fixing the software to work with very common hardware!

  • T61 with Advanced Dock and PCI-e graphics card?

    Purchased T61 laptop with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics (Type: 7662-CTO).
    Purchased ThinkPad Advanced Dock for use with PCI-e graphics card for multi-monitors.  (Type: 2553)
    OS = Vista Ultimate
    Purchased PCI-e graphics card:   NVidia Quadro NVS 440  1x
    Purchased four Samsung SyncMaster 740bx monitors
    Opened Advanced Dock.  Installed Quadro NVS 440 card in PCI-e slot.  Card fits perfectly.
    Laptop using most recent BIOS v 1.26
    Set BIOS config for PCI-e graphics and DVI default monitor.
    Connected all four monitors via DVI.
    Laptop in dock, turned on.  BIOS screen displays correctly on external monitors.  Microsoft Corp. screen displays with progress bar.  Screen then goes blank and next step should be the Windows login.  Login screen never displays, however.  Boot-up of laptop halts at this point and never proceeds.
    Removed PCI-e card from dock, and placed laptop back in dock.  Laptop boots correctly to Windows.
    Assumed faulty dock.  Called Lenovo for replacement dock.  Replacement dock also fails to boot with PCI-e graphics card.
    Next assumed bad card.  Tried different card.  ATI FireMV 2400 1x.  Card fits in dock perfectly.  Laptop still fails to boot with card in dock.
    Called Lenovo.  Asked for a list of cards that will work in the dock.  Tech support did not know.  I asked if anyone at Lenovo has ever seen a T61 laptop work with the Advanced Dock and a PCI-e graphics card.  Tech said no.  Issue has been escalated to engineering.  I still do not have an answer as to which PCI-e cards, if any, will work in the Advanced Dock.
    Help please.

    I spent some time surfing through product release letters and data sheets for the grafic cards offered by Lenovo, no where, as far as I could see, does it say that they are compatible with the advanced dock. What is also interesting, they say for PCs they are only tested for 2 screens, but you found the document MIGR-67464 where they show how to configure 4. [confused smiley]
    It looks as though you and RBS have found possible solutions for 4 screens, congrats to all 
    However, I don't want to be the "party pooper" here, but why doesn't your T61 boot in the dock with graphics card? This is still puzzling me, and to be honest I haven't as yet been able to come up with a reason or probable cause as to why

  • T40 graphic card error

    Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 12:09 pm    Post subject: IBM T40 freezing  
    I have a question about my IBM T40 laptop. My computer is working fine for almost 4 years. One day the screen suddenly went black when I was using it. I held the power button and reboot it, the system remind that there was a system error and asked me to send the error report to the Microsoft, I did, and then got a report back saying that there is a problem with the video card, and this causes the computer to restart again and again. The report provided 2 solutions, but even before I tried one, the screen went back. I held the power button and reboot again, and pushed blue Access IBM button, then I tried to recover to the factory settings, the computer started to reinstall, but before it finished, the screen became black again...I consulted quite a few computer experts, they all said this is the graphic card failure, and I have to change the motherboard...
    I called IBM help service, they say because my laptop warranty period has finished, I will be charged if I want to get it fixed, and the charge is £193 + VAT + parts. But the market price for second hand T40 is just about £200!
    I paid a lot more money for my IBM laptop than other people did for other makes, I did not expect the motherboard to be gone so quickly.
    Anyone has better solutions?

    Welcome to the forum!
    What you're dealing with is a known issue on T4x/R5x series ThinkPads with ATi graphics. Basically, the graphic card starts detaching itself from the motherboard as a result of heating/cooling cycles and/or chassis strain.
    The only permanent solutions to this problem are GPU solder re-balling, or motherboard replacement. Temporary fixes are numerous, the most popular one being applying several "post-it" stickers on the top of GPU.
    Good luck.

  • Is Nvidia FX-570 also a faulty graphics card?

    After ordered T61P-AV8 with Nvidia FX-570 graphics card, I was told that all "G84/86 gpu are bad". Since Dell has already provided the BIOS upgrades. Of course BIOS upgrade is some kind of "half-a**" pitch, but it at least proves the faults in mentioned gpus.
    Can someone tell me if the FX-570 within T61 is also faulty or not? If it is so, what is the plan for Lenovo to solve the problem?
    Thanks!

    NVIDIA has not commented very clearly on which the bad batches were to the public and probably never will, so it's only the company bigheads who know what's really going on.
    Given the current bits and pieces of information which is publicly available at the moment, there is no reason to believe that the NVIDIA GPUs in our T61(p) notebooks are not affected by this problem.
    I'd love to hear a statement from Lenovo too. However, I'm a bit afraid that there is some kind of coverup going on at NVIDIA and secret agreements and terms being negotiated between NVIDIA and the companies who used their chips.

  • Upgrading Graphics Card on T400 Laptop?

    Hi,
    I'm just wondering if it is possible to upgrade the Graphics Card on my T400 Laptop. I opened up Device Manager, went to Display Adapters, and it's a pretty weak (so I hear) Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family. I would like to upgrade this, because of many different reasons. (One of which includes sometimes having my computer "black out" for a second, then say that some sort of display thing has failed but recovered, and images/videos loading slow, etc..., as well as the main problem of whenever I load something that is graphics heavy, whether it be some imaging assignment or a video game, I hear my computer working extra-hard and a "clicking" noise comes from my computer I think, and I feel like it's because my graphics card is not "good" enough, and I might as well upgrade it if possible).
    So yeah, I was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade the Graphics Card on my T400 Lenovo Laptop, and where to buy a new one (if possible).
    Thanks!

    'evening.
    there's no "graphics card", per se, in your machine. it's all surface-mount soldered to the planar. even in the case of models that feature switchable graphics, the discrete gpu is soldered (vs socketed) to the planar. so, there's no upgrading that way, sorry.
    regards.

    All greetings from snowy Russia!
    I had to install Win7 on my laptop a31p, in general, I am very pleased with the speed and new features. All the drivers are set automatically, and even managed to get to work the battery icon in the system tray
    But there is one big problem: I can not find drivers for FireGL 7800 graphics card
    I wrote a request to ATI (now AMD) but ou redirected me to Lenovo, citing the fact that they do not write drivers for these cards.
    I would be very grateful for assistance in finding the driver for Win7 or la Vista!
    You can write me an email:     barmaley.russia  @  gmail.com

    Welcome to the forum!
    There is NO driver for Vista or W7 when it comes Fire GL 7800 because it's simply considered underpowered to run any of these operating systems.
    I've had to tweak the XP driver to get it working under W7, and results were less than spectacular, although not bad for a 7-year old machine.
    Hope this helps.

    So I have a T61p, but I bought it with the NVS140M graphics card. Is there a way to upgrade it to the FX570M?

    No there isn't since the GPU is soldered to the motherboard.

  • T500 with discrete graphics card availability

    Im close to purchasing a T500 but have 3 questions.
    1.) The T500 with discrete graphics no longer appears available on the canadian site. Can anyone confirm when it is likely to return?
    2.) I want to get the keyboard change to the T61 (I have used the T500 keyboard and it is not fantastic) Can I order this when I place my order for the T500?
    Cheers

    1) When you are in the advanced mini dock, the displayport is active, so is your VGA and DVI. I am using the displayport on the laptop driving a Dell U2410 at WUXGA resolution, and the DVI port on the dock is driving another Dell U2410 LCD.
    However, if you have a switchable graphics card and you switch to intel gpu, then the dvi port on the dock is disabled, only the the vga would work.
    2) To your question of your the laptop's vga and displayport driving these monitors the answer is yes. The VGA on the T500 should be able to drive a WQXGA (not recommended as the picture quality is heavily degraded) and the displayport can also drive WQXGA.

    2, Actually I didn't encounter such problem as I seldom "doing graphics intensive processing" (the heaviest job with my graphic card is to play Rise of Nation and Need for Speed 11), do I still need to consider to replace the motherboard or the graphic card to avoid the risk?
    Please please advise! Thank you!

  • Thinkpad t60 graphics card

    Can I add an additional graphics card to my t60? It currently has an Intel 950 incorporated on the motherboard. Can an additional card be added and if so how do you do that and what type is recommended?

    I believe that you could add a card via Advanced Dock, but you can't add one to the machine itself.

  • Graphics card upgradeable?

    I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB and i was wondering if you can replace/upgrade it. Im trying to play guild wars two with it and the average fps is 15 with the graphics turned all the way down.  It is version 10.9.5. Being new to this whole graphics card thing, is there a way to put an external graphics card on it by any chance? I would prefer to replace/upgrade but if i must get an external graphics card i will. Thank you

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    Based a quick glance at your Hardware Maintenance Manual, I would say that your GPU (and CPU, for that matter) are non-upgradeable components of your system board. So, while your graphics subsystem is discrete, per se, it's not upgradeable since it is soldered to the planar.
    Hope this helps to clarify.

  • Flashing BIOS fixed graphic card error

    Hey guys just to let you know I was getting a BSOD. It was STOP: nv4_disp 0x000000EA (0x963F6 D58, 0x84EEA078, 0x00000001).
    Obviously this is the nvidia graphics driver and I tried uninstalling my current drivers and reinstalling which made no difference. Altered agp aperture size, agp voltage and memory timings and it all made no difference.
    Then I flashed to BIOS version 1.46 and it has cured the problem
