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.

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

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

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.

for certain program / game u can check in the preferences see what graphic device are currently using,
or try this open hardware monitor like what acid said

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.

this is really depend on what program you are running now.
for example photoshop you can go to preferences > performance
or try this open hardware monitor like what acid said

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.

Anyone tried disabling intel HD from BIOS? Workable? I'd rather just have my radeon turned on all the time. Thanks.

I don't think they have that option in Bios.

please try~
i am not with my laptop now, i only can try tonight.

i dun really that is a problem..

i thought photoshop can set the rendering method to use hardware accelerated 1 right?

*preparing to edit this post later on as i dun have my laptop with me now + going to install photoshop later*

and other thing is the catalyst center where you can set which gc to use for which program 1 right?
can change there?

CCC method i try already (set the program to high performance, enable power play mode, plug in power cable, set my system to high performance as well)
i am not a person will complain before trying.

Hello all, is there any problem with HP Pavilion dv6-6114TX? I am interesting with the promotion and interest to have one as well. Any suggestion for me? Thnaks.

The one that this guy suggested right?

Did you monitor the Radeon clock speed while u run the application as well? like this guy.. as u can see he ran that in window mode and the dGPU is working.

overall this is a good choice, but this build are come with dynamic switching function for your graphic device which mean you cant switch the graphic device manually,
for more detail please read some of previous post.

buy at your own risk lol

The TS basically copy-pasta the list of OpenGL games and applications from Wiki.

Link: List of OpenGL programs

anyway, i might arrange myself go to hp service center to see what they can help / offer to me...

You can try ask them to exchange to 6001TX but keep the Bluray.

IMHO, the switchable implementation is still very new. It will get better overtime.
