This is why the 6001tx is still the best. The intel HD3000 is so powerful that you can game on it with nearly all settings on max in Race Driver GRID.....and when you really want crazy graphics, just use a shorcut key and the graphics card comes on, so 0 issues.

Look at all the problems the 61xx people are having, such bullshit. Auto switching never works. And  before you blame AMD/ATi, even Nvidia has problems with Optimus.

The best? Manual switching!!!!

auto swicthing is work for most of the game, the main thing is some software that i use for my work~ non of it are working with my 6770m that is the main problem.

i don't know what to do now seriously.

i am not with my laptop now, but is that possible if i turn off intel HD 3000 in device manager? what will happen?

Open up CCC. Under Power, go to PowerPlay and make sure it's enabled. Then set both "Plugged In" and "Battery" to the Maximize Performance setting

Don't disable that HD3000.

Added on June 27, 2011, 2:07 pmand u could try this..

i did that... still not working....
-..- i think i have to return it...

if they offer me same spec but change to dv6-60xx is that worth to accept that?

how to know its not working?

What's the shortcut key to turn on the graphic card (switch gc) ? 

^ oh.. i don't think u can use msi afterburner to monitor your HD6770M. try Open Hardware Monitor and monitor that HD6770M core clock see if it's changing.

I'll try to lurk i NBR forum to check about switchable graphic.

thanks for help 
oh ic... no wonder i see msi afterburner is like nothing happen when i run some program,
but i did check photoshop preferences it clearly show that i am using intel HD 3000.
and other graphic program when i launch my screen normal aje, didn't bling or shake pun.

actually i did looking around from internet, quite hopeless on this issue already.

acid amigo ~~ thanks for all the reply ya !!

when switching screen will bling for 1 or 2 second

ps: acid i think is better to show in 1st page that dv6-61xx series have this dynamic switching function, buy at you own risk. 

Hi guys,

Anyway to know if we are on built in graphic or radeon? Any indication? Thanks.

HP called me just now. Will receive by tomorrow before 12pm....

WHOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

the obvious part is, when you launch some game / program , if really switch to radeon ur screen will bling/shake like 1-3 sec.
or else for certain program / game u can check in the preferences see what graphic device are currently using,
for this dv6-61xx model i i don't think you can run radeon on any game/program in window mode, since you are FORCING to run your OS with intel HD 3000

Hi Jacob,

How do I check in preference to know which graphic card is active? Thanks.

actually i did looking around from internet, quite hopeless on this issue already.

acid amigo ~~ thanks for all the reply ya !! 

Most of the time it's working right?

The HD6770M won't kicks in when u're using OpenGL base game/app. So game like minecraft or application like Photoshop CS is out. 

and MAYA too, this is bad...
for photoshop ya right i can run well with intel HD 3000
but thing is i pay money for the package, they shouldn't forcing me to run it with intel HD3000,
even i wan to run microsoft paint with radeon also is my business right? they shouldn't force or fix for me, all i want is simple just let me decide.

now i can see the problem not just because of open GL,
the thing is they  force you to run the OS with intel HD 3000, which mean you are impossible to run any program in window mode with radeon card.
imagine you multi-tasking with few program at the same time some run with intel some run with radeon, is not logic right your laptop for sure will crash or else bling like hell when they switching lol .
