Windows 7 can't recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card

Hey community -
I am having issues running Star Wars the Old Republic on my brand new iMac desktop with Windows 7 installed. I am getting an error message that is associated with the fact that WINDOWS 7 will NOT recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card. Under the displays/drivers it's showing up as standard VGA graphics, which won't cut it.
I was recently having an issue missing drivers for my network card, which I fixed by going back through bootcamp and using a startup disk with all the drivers I needed.
HOW do I get Windows 7 to pickup/detect my Radeon? Help!
-Monty

You can install the AMD HD RADION Mobile drivers which work from.
If your Graphics card number ends in M
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#2
This also depends on if you installed 32bit windows or 64 bit. you will need the 32bit drivers if installed 32 bit windows.
Download the full package under individual downloads.
But before you install the amd drivers you may need to install the boot camp drivers again, which include the motherboard drivers, sound, usb, etc etc etc.

Parallels desktop 7 running WI7 can't recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M?

Hello, Apple Support!
Thank you for beeing here, and I hope you can solve my problem explained below.
I've got Parallels desktop 7 installed on my intel based iMac 27", where I have Windows 7 installed.
Today I bought Hitman: Absolution and intstalled it without any problem on my Parallel desktop with Windows 7.
When I tried to run it, a pop up came up with the infomation about direct X 10 missing and no graphic card detected.
When I later on serach the internet for a solution I found that you could install the AMD Mobilty Drivers, but here with no success.
Why can't Parallels Desktop 7 with Windows 7 installed recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
Thank you in advance.

LOL for starters you should not be posting this issue here but rather on the Parallels forum.
And you may find that Parallels 7 is not DX10 compatible.
Look here it works with version 8 apparently

Issues with CS5 Liquify in my iMac with a AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB Graphics Card

I have been trying to get to the bottom of this issue on my own, but to no avail. I am running Photoshop CS5.1 Extended on an iMac with an i7, 16 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB graphic card. I am running OSX Lion. Speed of the computer should NOT be an issue, but my liquify tool is impossibly slow. I have seen others having this issue, but am not finding resolutions. I have updated all of my software (Lion, CS5) and updated my drivers. I have uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it, but still, no help.
My Liquify tool is so slow that it is impossible to use. It does not register if I release the mouse either and I often have to click a few times to release the brush. I have Photoshop 5.1 on a PC and the Liquify runs very smoothly.
Has this issue been addressed? I am wondering if it has a root in how CS5 is reacting to the graphics card? When I called Adobe, they swore it was Apple's fault. When I talked to Apple, they were positive the blame lay with Adobe. I just want a fix. (Hey, I'll take a CS6 beta if that'll fix it. )
Thank you,
Rachel

Do you have any third party plugins installed? If so, have you tried disabling them? (one was showng to cause a slowdown, but I don't have my office notes handy at the moment to remember which one)
Also, there was one obscure third party utiliity program (haxie) that also caused slowdowns in Liquify. (and again, my notes are at the office, so I don't recall the name)
And you can try the usual: trash/reset Photoshop's preferences.
Oh, and Lion still has a bunch of video driver bugs that Apple is continuing to work on.
Sorry I don't have more definite info right now.

AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB

just up graded to Adobe CC photoshop and it crashes on launch. Abobe is telling me that I need to uprade my Video card driver. I'm not sure how this is done sise neither Apple or AMD showas a driver. Help anyone?

Video drivers are built-in to OS X and installed when you install OS X. I don't think the video driver is the problem, but rather with PhotoShop.
All I can suggest is that you can reinstall OS X to see if that fixes your problem if the problem is with OS X:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

IPhone will not turn on, Windows can't recognize it

Hello.
So one night I was listening to music before going to sleep, and when I was finished, I connected my iPod touch to my computer via USB for it to charge. The next day, I noticed I had no music on it, so I opened iTunes to synchronize. Sadly, it said that it cannot read the content, so I tried restoring it. When the restore bar located directly on the iPod filled up, I suddenly got an error saying that the restore was unsuccesful. iTunes didn't recognize the iPod, so I reconnected it. A Windows tooltip popped up stating that the device had malfunctioned and that Windows cannot recognize the device. What's worse, the iPod's screen does not want to turn on, and resetting and turning on the iPod also yields no results.
The iPod is not jailbroken.
Can anyone help me?

Nope, none of my computers (with iTunes 8.1 installed) can even RECOGNIZE my iPod Touch, let alone restore from iTunes.
I mean that Windows can't recognize them, not just iTunes.
Well, thanks 8.2, you just officially broke my iPod!
I can't even CHARGE it anymore <cry>

Welcome to Apple Communities
Apple releases updates, and you have to wait because Apple creates the graphics drivers. You need to check updates to know that you have the most recent version

IMac 27" 2011 with Dead Graphic Card AMD Radeon HD 6970M

Hello
I'm from Thailand and my iMac 27" mid-2011 model is malfunctioning. I have windows 7 installed and I can use it only on safemode or when I disable the graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6970M. Updating the driver won't help at all.
I talked to the local iservice and he says it will cost me $570 just to replace this card. I find it very expensive.
Now I have learned that there is this replacement program http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167 for the graphic card issue. I'd like to know if I am part of this. I'm not sure if I'm under any service coverage since it's been after many years of purchase.

You should be covered - usually replacement programs last for 3 years from the latest date of consumer purchase (when apple discontinues the model). This is typical, but by no means concrete as I have nothing to do with Apple or its replacement policies. Your model also meets those specifications. Since the replacement program is stated as wordwide, it should also be applicable in your country.

Aperture with iMac i7 3.4 AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5

I am looking to upgrade to the new iMac i7 3.4 (spring 2011).
Currently I am running Aperture 3 via a MacBook Pro 2.66 (NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 Ram) along with 8GB DDR3 Ram.
Just wondering if anyone has purchased the new 27" iMac i7 3.4 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5 and 16GB DDR3 of Ram?
If so do you see the performance of Aperture 3 running better?
I know that Aperture runs better with more GPU, so I would assume the performance would be better?
Thanks,
Stu

That box will rock Aperture if you order it with an SSD. IMO using hard drives for boot drives is obsolete.
In my case Aperture (3.1.2) on the 2011 17" MBP (OS 10.6.7, 8 GB RAM, HD 6750M; a weaker box than the iMac you suggest) with Apple's SSD imports 3 GB of RAW+JPEG images in much less than a minute and has those images fully processed in about 5 minutes. IMO hella fast. And edits (with both the Aperture Library and referenced Masters on the SSD) are essentially instant.
Only problems with the better Thunderbolt iMacs are:
• Glossy-only display that not everyone can tolerate.
• Hard drives are only upgradable by Apple, a sucky new trick in Apple's bag.
But as far as Aperture performance goes all the top end Thunderbolt boxes will be spectacular. I cannot say enough good things about Aperture performance on SSD setups; IMO no Aperture user should buy a box without SSD.

AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB CUDA

Hello
I have an iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7/32GB RAM/ AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB running 10.8.3. After updating to 10.8.3 I went along updating other bits and bobs and the CUDA System Preferences, which I installed long ago, wanted to be updated.
CUDA Driver Version : 5.0.45
CPU Drive Version 8.10.44 304.10.65f03
The CUDA system preferences also informs me that no newer CUDA Drivers are available. So it's up to date.
My confusion is as follows, CUDA, as I understand it, unlike OpenCL which is open, is proprietary and for NVIDIA cards only or is it? Does my GPU work with this CUDA Driver? It must because I succefully installed it and generally the mac hesitates installing if something is not designed for whatever is inside the machine.
Can someone please clarify because I can't find links or information to on CUDA being compatible with AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
Sincerely
PS I am posting this before I research on how to get BOINC to take advantage of my GPU where applicable.

I just wanted to post a screen shot of the CUDA System Preferences for whomever needs to see it. This is what it looks like after updating it on March 16 2013.
Also find the details on my GPU.

AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics and lower WEI score... and keyboard "softness"

HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
16GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics
Hello I just purchased this machine. Given are the basic specs. Why would the AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics score a 5.9 on the WEI when my two year old hp with an A8-3500 with the 6620G + 6750M scored a 6.5.. I am wondering if this new machine is actually graphically slower. Any Advice?
Second question: Is it normal for the envy to have a soft spot in the keyboard where you have visible flex. while pressing the W, S, A, D, E there is visible deformation. All the other keys seem solid.
I am debating returning this machine already. Any help.

Are you comparing WEI scores from the same OS??? That is Windows 7 to Windows 7... Windows 8 to Window 8... or Windows 8 to Window 7???
Comparing scores generated by different generations of Windows doesn't mean anything. Notice that the scale on Windows 7 runs from 1 to 7.9 and Windows 8 runs from 1 to 9.9 . Notice that the graphics scores for both 2D and 3D graphics are lower on Windows 8. Windows Vista, 7, and 8 all use different parameters to determine the scores.
Also, the architecture of the APUs has changed a little of the past couple of generations. And an 8750M and 6750M are basically the same GPU, so the scores should be roughly the same when using the same driver and OS for a comparision.
Please send KUDOS

AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2GB GDDR5 available for upgrade?

I bought my iMac in store and it came with AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB. Then I saw that the 2GB version of this card is availble online only. I want the 2GB card bad. I see that apple sells video cards for older verions of the iMac. Does anyone know if there is a way to order the 2GB card for the mid-2011 i7 iMac?

Changing out the Radeon 6970M 1GB for a 2GB card will not void the warranty. Changing the cpu will.
Really.
Have you read the warranty? Specifically, check (g) which appears to be applicable to a different graphics card (as well as (f) and (d) which may also be applicable):
(This is an excerpt from an iMac hardware warranty for the US):
This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside Apple’s published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product, or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product.
It is irrelevant whether or not I've done a teardown. What is important is that the OP now has the information necessary to make an informed decision. With that, I am done here.

Is there an Update Driver for my Graphics card, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB , in a 27inch mid 2011 iMac? thank you!
