Updating Graphics Card Drivers

Hello there, I have a HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit that I built using HP.com. However when I try to play certain games (such as GTA: San Andreas and Toribash) there seems to be a problem with the graphics card, and have been told by others to update my drivers. I have an Intel HD Graphics card but I can't seem to find a way to actually update the drivers. I have tried Hp.com, Intel.com, and even ATI Technologies Inc. (The manufacturer) but none of them seem to be able to update the drivers. Does anyone know of a way to update the drivers for an Intel HD Graphics card?
PS. This is what the game "Toribash" looks like when I start it up, definitely something wrong : There's Something Wrong Here
Bare with me...

hey you won't be able to update your intel graphics unless hp release it so first you should go to hp support page of your specific mode for that search google like type "hp dv7- xxxx(whatever ur model) support page " go to the one with link to hp site download latest grphics update and then restart computer then download drivers from this link
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/catalyst_11.10_preview/amd_catalyst_11.10_preview3_win7_vista.exe
it is latest amd drivers then install all contents from this package
restart and u r done u will have old intel drivers but new amd graphics drivers which is what matter .
check that by going into device manager clicking display adapters and then selecting the adapter and then going to driver and see the date intel will have some date of may month and amd one with october date
Hi
Will this work for laptop model: HP Pavilion dv6-6023tx with a AMD HD6770 GPU?

Satellite L500D-16L update graphics card drivers

I'm trying to play Harry Potter 1-4 on my laptop but it hasn't installed properly and bugs in the 1st scene. I contacted the game manufacturers about it and they told me to update my graphics card drivers but I can't find where they are on this site. Does anyone know how and where I can update the drivers?

Hi mate
All Toshiba drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
Satellite L500D-16L belongs to the PSLT9E series.
You will have to choose this in order to get all drivers for the notebook.
But in many cases the driver versions are not similar to the latest versions available on graphic card manufacturer pages.
The point it that Toshiba drivers are modified and released fro mobile usage the ATI/NVidia drivers dont support overheating protection which helps to control the GPU temperature.
So usage of such drivers is always at you own risk

How to update graphics card drivers for late 2008 macbook pro with Nvidia 9600m GT?

Can anybody help me update the drivers for my 9600m GT graphics card for my Late 2008 Macbook pro? I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with a Windows 7 partition. I have tried finding support on Nvidia's website, but at least for the 9600m GT, it isn't supported for my operating system. Would I have to update it from my Windows side? And if so, would the update apply to my OS X side as well? I have a little computer knowledge, but nothing indepth.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In OS X, Apple provides the GPU drivers and you cannot update them from NVIDIA. They are updated with each OS X update, so you are running the most recent drivers for your OS X version. OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks have got more recent GPU drivers, but it's not worth upgrading unless you need newer drivers for an app (I highly doubt this).
However, you can update the GPU drivers in Windows, and you should do it to get the best performance. You can download them from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Note that drivers are only applied in the operating system you are installing them, so they will not be installed in OS X

Updating graphics card drivers on windows

On the windows that runs off my mac, can I update the drivers or the video card, or do I have to keep the ones boot camp installed? Also, if I can update the drivers, will it:
1. Affect how it works when OS X boots up
2. Can I update the driver for the regular 8600 GT and ignore that I have the mobility version, 8600M GT?
Thanks for any answers!

The drivers that you use in Windows will not have any impact on OS X. I would imagine Windows would not allow you to install the non-mobile version of the GPU as it really is not the same processor. Are you not happy with the performance of the graphics processor? Have you heard that using a different driver will improve your performance? When it comes to mobile graphics processors, you typically need (or should) use the driver from the manufacturer. The reason for this is because the drivers are typically optimized for the hardware in which the GPU is installed.

MSI Gx700 ex edition Graphics card drivers

Hi, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Nvidia's graphics card drivers for my gx 700's 8600M GT, seen as though I am currently running on some drivers from 2007, when I come to try and install the driver it says it cannot detect any hard-ware that is compatible with the software even though that is the one that was recommended to me by Nvidia! The version I am trying to install is version 186.81 the version I currently have has a date of 01/11/2007 and is version 7.15.11.5680
I don't know all my system info but here goes.
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 Ghz
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT w/ 512 MB RAM
2 GB System RAM
Windows Vista 32 bit with SP2
Any help would be appreciated

MSI doesn't update drivers unless there is a reason to do so.
Just because nVidia releases a new driver package doesn't mean the drivers are updated at all.
What I don't get, if you need the latest, then it's obvious you need it for gaming, but then you would have upgraded to Windows7 as that's better for gaming.
Or you are doing an upgrade for no reason, but such is silly.
For these onboard-chips, nVidia decided NOT to release generic drivers.
Why? Is a mystery to all of use, but nVidia does a lot of strange stuff the last couple of years.

Display Problems After Installing Graphics Card Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem that's got me stumped?
I've just upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive, Sound Card, Monitor) - the only things that haven't changed are my graphics card and PSU.
I've built the system, installed windows and the motherboard drivers, which all work correctly. But after I install the graphics card drivers and reboot, the display becomes all scrambled when it loads into windows. The display is fine with the initial boot and up until the Windows XP screen, with the moving bar comes up.
The graphics card was fine in my previous system and I have tried my old monitor, but neither works. I've updated the BIOS, using the MSI Live Update program and have also tried various versions of the nVidia drivers (including the latest).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
****UPDATE****
I've now managed to install the nVidia drivers and now windows loads normally, but after a short amount of time the screen scrambles again.

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

Updating graphics card driver for G5350uk

Hi
We have a G5350uk desktop. Serial Number: [edited Serial Number by Moderator] Product Number: XS612EA. Its running 64bit windows7 and internet explorer 8, which is no longer compatible with a number of web pages so we wanted to upgrade to ie11.
Except we can't upgrade because we don't have service pack 1 installed. Service Pack1 can't be installed because our graphics card driver is one of those that stops the windows update from functioning properly and detecting Service Pack 1.
So I tried to upgrade the device driver, but its says its the most current one, so I loaded the Intel untility which told me I needed to source the driver from the manufacturer.
So I came to the G5350 support page and allowed it to scan my PC. I get then get into a loop with the annoying message pasted below.
HP was unable to verify that you have this product, but did find other products.

Which is all very frustrating as i'm clearly searching for the right thing, the web site says it can't find what I'm looking for but then tells me its found exactly what I'm looking for! When I select the option suggested it just goes back around in the same loop.
I stil don't have an updated graphics card driver to get around the Service Pack installation issue and so still can't look at an increasing number of websites.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Mazrak, welcome to the forum.
This is the only driver that is available for your Integrated Video. You can't use retail versions of drivers for HP's Integrated Video.
I suggest uninstalling the current driver by going into Control Panel / Device Manager / Display adapters. Right click on your adapter and select "Uninstall". Then, you can install the driver that I provided and reboot. This may solve your problem if a glitch has occurred.

Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

I'm trying to view a site that sends a message that I don't have the most recent graphic card drivers to view with. It suggests I have the ability to view, but that my drivers might be disabled.

You don't need to care about graphic driver on Mac OSX. It includes in OSX and run the driver your MacBook need.

Updating graphics card on desktop

Updating Graphics Card: I have what was sold as a HP performance desktop computer about 3 years ago. With a AMD FX-6100 processor and a 2MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 graphics card. No intergrated graphics that I know of. Being interested in CG animation it soon became obvious that graphics card was to weak for my purposes. So recently I have tried to update with 3 NVIDIA cards. The first two being 'T - Cards' and now I have a GeForce GT 740 2MB as a expensive paper weight. I have read every tutorial on updating graphics cards to no avail. Now I read on this forum since my BIOS was created a year before I bought the computer and hasn't been updated since by HP I'm stuck with what came on the machine. SOME PERFORMANCE MACHINE. I also see where if AMD had a BIOS update it could screw up my system restore. This is my 3rd HP but I sing the praises no more.

Dave the U.S. Army trained me in electronics with tube carrier equipment way back in the day. Then I went to work as a electrician on nuclear submarines many times working in computer switching cabinets which no doubt cost more then my first house. So a desktop doesn't exacty intimidate me. In reference to the Zotac card I have no idea what DOA means. I have a Blender friend in Germany who bought his computer about the same time she bought mine. With a AMD processor and motherboard. His first update was a GFX 680 I believe with no problems. Then since he wants to animate he bought a Nvidia Titan. Once again no problem and Windows 7 went looking for driver updates. Smooth as silk and he simply can't understand why I'm having a problem. A problem which has played out in private e-mails and not on the Blender Forum. If I understand your post correctly the BIOS could be updated if HP wanted to. And, there lies the problem. And, the reason I would not recommend a HP to anyone interested in CG Graphics. While my German buddy is updating graphics cards at will with a AMD motherboard and processor I'm stuck with this. It's laughable in a way. Here I have one of the most popular computers in America and he has whatever they have in Germany. I'll take what he has quite frankly. Performance computers my ass. Once again thanks for your interest.

Bios Update/ Graphics Card

Hello I am having problems finding the bios update (download) for my computer, I looked all around the "hp" website and I can't find any downloads for bios. I recently re-installed and updated my graphics card because it wouldn't run hardware acceleration or any games that I tryed to start up, so now everytime I start up my computer it freezes while booting, but once I go into safemode and disable my Nvidia GeForce 7350 Le my computer boots up fine but my graphics card won't run, I have searched up over the internet for this problem and what I came across is that I need a bios update for my updated graphics card to work properly. My current bios is {Phoenix Technologies, LTD 5.08, (12/ 8/2006)} what I am looking for is the download link for {P5LP-LE Motherboard BIOS Update, Version:5.23, (Aug 26, 2011)}. I have read that you can only get the update from the "hp" website, and I can't find it. If anyone could help I would gladly apprectiate it, also if you think i'm doing somthing wrong or taking the wrong steps into fixing this problem please let me know, Thank You!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When you click on download, you get 2 options namely.
1. Use HP Download and Install Assistant (Recommended)
2. Download only.
When you click on the 2nd option, download only the file will start downloading.
I tried from my end and it worked fine.
Please try from a different web browser and check.

Can't update AMD graphics card drivers in Macbook Pro 15" 2011

I've been having this problem for a while now, and from what I understand, it's a fairly common issue with bootcamp but I have not been able to find a solution to the problem nonetheless. I am using a 15" Macbook Pro from 2011 (purchased in early September, not sure if that was before the 'late 2011' model or not), running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 through bootcamp v4.0. The graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6750m last updated on 6/13/2011 to version 8.812.0.0.
I have tried many times to update the card using the AMD catalyst control center supposedly made for windows 7 in bootcamp, but no matter what compatibility options I choose, the installer either tells me there is no graphics adapter (auto detect) or just crashes immediately after starting installation of the catalyst control center. I've also attempted reinstalling bootcamp several times, each with a fresh download of the windows support software, though I have not completely uninstalled Windows 7. I'm not sure if the problem is with the bootcamp drivers themselves or with AMD's software or a combination of both, and a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I know this is completely the wrong spot for this, but while I'm here, does anybody else have issues running EA's Origin download service? I just installed it in bootcamp a few days ago to play Mass Effect 3, and ever since then my computer gets display lag (e.g. in windows media player the video freezes for a few seconds at a time, while the sound continues playing) sometimes, especially during and after attempting to play Mass Effect 3. I already checked to make sure that both Origin and Mass Effect 3 are fully up to date, so I thought it might have something to do with the graphics card.
Anyway, thanks for the assistance, and I apologize for asking a question that has probably been answered several times. I searched through several posts, I couldn't find any answers to my problem.

Despite all of these helpful posts from the community, I'm still coming up short. I'm attempting to update my ATI Radeon HD 6770m driver on windows 7 64-bit. I've followed this guide:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3866652?start=0&tstart=0
(third post down) - I also use Drive Sweeper after using CCCleaner and device manager uninstall.
Every time I attempt to install the driver after rebooting, I receive an error message stating "Driver install: the INF file was not found" with a log stating that the driver failed to install upon completion.
When I attempt to use control panel>Device Manager>Display Adapters>Update Driver Software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software and then choose the appropriate file path (including subfolders) or by choosing from a list of device drivers and selecting one of the two inf files in c:/amd/support/12-2_mobility../packages/drivers/display/w76a_inf, I receive the following error 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.
AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
I'm hitting nothing but dead ends here. I just want to play SWTOR with an updated driver!
Please provide a detailed, step-by-step solution (if you have one). It is not safe to assume that I have any experience regarding graphics drivers or running windows in bootcamp. Thanks in advance.

Updating Macbook Graphics Card Drivers

i have tried playing warcraft 3 using the macbook as it is. and it is pretty crappy. i think if the drivers were updated it would run more smoothly.
i was wondering if its possible to upgrade them?
i know its an integrated chipset and w/e but is there anything more i can do as far as software upgrading?
Mac OS X (10.4.7) 13" Macbook 30 Gig Video iPod

for now the updater for graphic card should be in the 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 updater.
Go to blizzard sites and download patch and updater for wIII (ver 1.20?), it might help too.
Good Luck.

Problem updating Graphics card

While I was trying to update my graphics drivers I came up with the message that says my hardware is not compatible with the latest version.
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-28041SupportforATIMobility.aspx
What shall I do from here? My graphics drivers are 3 years out of date. I do not want to have that on my notebook.
Thank you

"The AMD Mobility Radeon™ graphics driver supplied by the notebook manufacturer is customized for the built-in display and the features and functions specific to the notebook. It is recommended to use the drivers provided by the notebook manufacturer."
This is the most recent graphics driver that is available and compatible with your notebook: http://goo.gl/Nqry8
There may be updated versions of the driver for your graphics card, but if you read what I quoted from the website that you linked, it explains how the driver is specific and customized for your notebook.

Why OpenCL is grayed out in supported and updated graphics card?

Hi,
I have NVIDIA GeForce 520 which does support open CL and is officially tested by Adobe.
I have the most updated driver installed from Nvidia.
I have win 7 64bit
I use Photoshop CS6 64bit
and still in preferences->performance->advanced settings
I see "Use OpenCL" grayed out.
Can anyone explain this?

Arielinson wrote:
This is of course done for NVIDIA GEFORCE 520 with newest drivers.
The people here who have ATI cards have a totally diffrent driver issue.
Looks like NVIDA also have work to do on updating their drivers then!
I don't think ATI users necessarily have a totally different driver issue: we've confirmed through your thread that the problem causing OpenCL to intermittently become unavailable is most likely to be the result of errors caused by the graphics card driver, and I'm hopeful that it will be resolved by future driver updates (in fact GraySki's experience is that it already has been fixed on the ATI side). What causes PS to identify that there's a driver error may vary considerably: might be rendering video as you've experienced, might be using say the new blur filters. But the basic underlying issue appears to be driver error, regardless of the card manufacturer.
