Haha you'll have to wait as I'm not at home right now, wait till I come back from house first....

No rush sifu warlove3, patience is a virtue!!!

i think urs will get next week.
coz in my status date delivered stated 05/7/2011.

unfortunately they call me today and said wanna courier the laptop tomorrow.horayyy

but already pending 1 days.

Sry to let you guys down, I've received a report from my friend that is using the 6114tx, the manual switching did not functioned after the rebooting and OpenGL still are NOT using 6770m....

currently he's testing the modified 11.2 drivers

http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=339823 - read here for more info...

I have to wait more reports from him...since he bought not long ago, I'll ask him to pressure HP by asking him to warranty his unit for the so-called "defective 6770M", then it might pushes HP to release a driver update for 61xx users...

OMG... so the problem still persists....

What OpenGL game u guys playing? Minecraft?

I have another problem here

When ever I watch a flash video player, like youtube, kuguo etc... there is a white/black bar on the right side of my screen, it is the same using different browsers like chrome and firefox EXCEPT Opera. I have no idea how to fix it, sifus please help me...

Here is the SS:












I'm a noob here, someone please help! Thanks a lot!

Which one is Opera/Ffox/Chrome/IE?

All look same to me.

no image for opera because it's normal

those pictures are from Firefox and Chrome, both same thing

Just tested with IE, it is also normal...

not sure why only Firefox and chrome have this problem, quite irritating

Long post is long.. read carefully
Source: FAQ: Consolidated thread w/FAQ on 61xx switchable graphics + advice to potential 61xx buyers

UPDATED 6/30/2011

I thought I might centralise the discussion for those who ask as whether they should buy the DV6/7 61xx or refund their order as I think the switchable graphics thread has become a little confusing for newcomers.

Status of switching on 6770m: As it stands (as of AMD catalyst driver release 11.6) graphical switching for programs that use OpenGL as their SOLE graphic engine will not run on the 6770m discrete graphics card (dGPU). Instead, those programs will only run on the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics card (IGP) and therefore will not run optimally.

As you have probably gathered MANUAL SWITCHING DOES NOT WORK ON DV6/7 61xx AT ALL so we can't override the dynamic switching in place.

OpenGL programs that will use Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics

• Minecraft
• Adobe CS Suite
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent
• Quake Live

Not an exhaustive list by any means. There may be a number of graphical creation/manipulation/3D modelling programs out there that also run solely on OpenGL and will therefore not run well on the 61xx. but bear in mind the following:

• Most Windows games run on DirectX which works fine with the 6770m.
• Most modern Windows games that can run on OpenGL will also have the option for you to run through DirectX.

Other annoying issues:
Currently, the 6770m will not register clock and memory speeds properly on monitoring software such as GPU-Z. Benchmarking/stress testing software such as Furmark will not run well at all (OpenGL) and if you bench with any 3DMark software the results screen will show that it's just tested your Intel HD 3000 (which it hasn't, it'll have benched your 6770m, but because under the muxless design, your Intel IGP is always on, it recognises the IGP first, and not your 6770m - more on mux and muxless designs below).

Also, you cannot overclock the 6770m in the 61xx whereas you can in the 6xxx range.

Does the switching problem only affect 1080 resolution models?
No, 768 models are affected too.

Should you buy/return?

If you:

• Surf the net and play modern Windows games (with exception of Minecraft) -You're fine as the 6770m will cater for most of your needs but you have to understand your dGPU is crippled to an extent should you ever need OpenGL acceleration.
• Play games and use graphical content creation software such as Adobe's suite of products - Problematic - would definitely not buy or would return.
• Do a mixture of everything above - if you have programs that run on OpenGL my advice would be not to buy. Why buy a laptop that's not working at its full potential?

When will HP or AMD fix this issue?
This is the hard part and it's anybody's guess at the moment as HP and AMD have not made public they are aware of this issue. Through the complaints that all of us have fed back to HP and AMD I'm sure they're aware of it. Some hope that by the release of the 11.7 catalyst drivers due out in July this may be fixed but it's all speculation at this point.

But this disclaimer on AMD's switchable graphics web page does not give hope to a resolution anytime soon:

"With AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics technology, full enablement of all discrete graphics video and display features may not be supported on all systems (e.g. OpenGL applications will run on the integrated GPU or the APU as the case may be). Always check with your system manufacturer for specific mode capabilities and supported technologies."
AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics Technology

Are other laptops from other manufacturers affected in the same way?
Yes. Any new laptop with the AMD muxless graphics switching design will have this problem, regardless of brand.
Here are a few examples:
ATI GPU doesn't work on E520 - Lenovo Community
IdeaStorm | Update Vostro 3550 AMD 6630/Intel HD 3000 Switchable Drivers

What is mux (manual) and muxless (dynamic) graphics switching? Is it a matter of it being a driver or hardware based issue?
bsoft explains it better than I can here - edited for brevity and accuracy:


I need a laptop that can run OpenGL now...what are my other options?
Most laptops with discrete graphics (integrated graphics can run too but performance will take a hit) can run OpenGL with the exception of the new AMD muxless 6xxx series cards, which should be fixed shortly.
Some comparably spec-ed laptops (prices will vary)

• XPS 15 or 17 (15 uses the nvidia 540m I think which is weaker than the 6770m and the 17 can be upgradable to the 555m which is on par with the 6770m)
  
• Asus G53SW-A1/G73 - bigger, bulkier 15 and 17 inch laptops but with a superior nvidia 460m card
  
• Look up Sager for their range of high performance laptops
  
• HP's own DV6z, which uses AMD's new Llano. Graphics power seems to be comparable to DV6t but the CPU is weaker in general
  
• Lenovo Ideapad y570 (uses the nvidia 555m)
  
• Lenovo Ideapad y560p (uses a less powerful AMD 6 series card but CPU specs otherwise the same as DV6/7T - cheaper alternative)
  

I want to upgrade my 6770m to the latest Catalyst Mobility Drivers
Official released: 11.6 (5/24/11) AMD Catalyst 11.6 WHQL (8.861 May 24) - Download & Discussion - Guru3D.com Forums
Beta leaked drivers: Either a 11.6 hotfix RC or a 11.7 RC (6/8/2011) Catalyst 8.862 RC (08 June) - Guru3D.com Forums

Note: DO NOT install these drivers without having installed the HP supplied drivers first. The HP supplied drivers include the Intel IGP drivers, which the official driver packs from AMD don't include

If anyone else would like to add to this FAQ of sorts please let me know and I can add.

Thanks for explaining... i was totally worried about games. I guess i don't have to then.

So, tl;dr: AMD dropped the ball with their muxless design and are trying to fix it now?

Is this the reason make me not able to play Counter Strike in full screen mode?

finally got u answer me... lol thx bro ur the man.

Don't even know if AMD/HP trying to fix this. All anticipated a fix in upcoming 11.7 Catalyst or Bios update from HP.

Not even related.. you can use the tool that Lee's posted few pages back and set the scaling to fullscreen.

Morning peep~~ good day for everyone.

very nice acid~ thanks for the article.

guys, am very bad luck, last night when my laptop hang, it freeze at "restoring system registry" during doing system restore with my external HD backup disk,
at first i try not interrupt my laptop but after 2 hour its still hang there (the round circle waiting icon don't even rounding circle) then i decide to sleep.
when i wake up this morning the screen still showing same thing, i am trying force reboot & tada ~~ i cant boot in to window anymore lol

then i try to boot with the recovery dvd and my external backup disk both also fail,
am now downloading a system repair disk ISO to burn into cd to try again after work,
hopefully the system repair cd will work for my laptop.

Acid_RuleZz.. did u OC ur card? i bet u use current stock right? u play dirt 3 use what setting?

Yeah i OC my card.

Dirt 3 with
Particles & Mirrors = Medium
Others = High/Ultra
AA = 2xMSAA
AF = 8x

u use core/memory? 47 fps is great score.. i also can't get it.. all medium & off AA & AF & vsync get 50 fps nia..
the highest guy OC 6770M >> http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1450218
