Question 1

Anyway, is your ATI CCC 11.6 looks like mine, because I find it weird with so little configuration options for this version, or is mine corrupted?

is it only "AMD home" under "Information"? or it suppose to have more tabs?
sorry, but I'm still a laptop noob haha...

I just found out about some problems facing by dv6-6100 series after 2 days I purchased mine sad.gif

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Disp...100/td-p/733827

Are these problems solved yet or it's still there? sad.gif



I have another question here:

I'm sorry if it was asked before but I cant really find a proper solution for it.

I get black bars on the two side of the screen when play old games like MapleStory, Counter Strike etc... how can I make them full screen with the new ATI CCC 11.6? As for Warcraft3 I manage to make it full screen using Acidz's method posted earlier.

Your help is very very much appreciated! smile.gif

On the preference, changed to advanced view?
Under the Advanced Display Settings, got option for scaling?

hi Lee sifu, I tried to do that but there are so many configuration options missing in 11.6, there is no option for scaling whatsoever... only these are there:

What else can I do to remove those two irritating black bars?

I agree with you in this.. HP should have include the option to select both manual and auto switching together.
IIRC, in Catalyst 11.4 and 11.5b also don't have scaling option. hmm.gif


Added on June 28, 2011, 7:42 pmBtw, don't the new Maple have include the option to change screen resolution instead of stucked at 800x600? My friend told me this.. i didn't check it myself.  sweat.gif
*
hmm, I wonder why they removed so many options... too bad then...

Well, actually I dont play MapleStory much, installed it because of my brother... MS still a 800x600 game but they added a new option to play it in a window in stead of full screen by pressing "Alt+enter".

How bout Counter Strike ar? did they fix this or still the same? sad.gif
kind of sad to see such a great laptop which cant play old games in full screen...

I tried Crisis 2 yesterday ad the graphic is just so awesome!!! At the beginning, I didnt select "High Performance" for Crisis 2 and the fps was lower, then I changed it to High Performance in CCC and boom! it became soooo smooth and with superb graphic quality! satisfied. smile.gif

Havent try other games though...

Maybe try install modded driver by asder00,
11.4/11.5/11.6 shows scaling on my mobility HD4670..

I dont understand why our great graphic card has such little configuration options.... why is that?
dont even have scaling option, that's unacceptable...

or is it our Radeon HD6770M graphic card is actually still under testing? lol

Any 6108tx owners here having problems with the switching of graphic cards? it seems to be fine for me... maybe have to test more games and see...

oh, and sifu lee, can you share the link to get the modded driver by asder00? Thanks!

Which one ar Acid? the one at the first page? If we use the modded one, we should see "Catalyst PRO Control Center", right?

right click at ur desktop wallpaper > click catalyst control center > information > software
11.6 with OCL the latest driver if compare w/o OCL

My CCC 11.6 doesnt have the "software" tab under information, only "AMD Home" tab is there... So, how can we see our version?

go preferences > enable advanced

After enable advanced view, I still cant find the way to check the version sad.gif

ngkhanmein, you have a different graphic card? cause those who are using Radeon HD 6770M having the same CCC without those configuration options...

Hydravision can be installed separately if I'm not wrong... smile.gif

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

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:

Any link to the video? i want to try with my Chrome.
*
Acid, I actually open any videos in youtube, it will be like that... and another thing is the actual clickable "toggle fullscreen" button in the youtube player can only be click on the black bar, the button I actually see which is before the black bar is linked to the button before the fullscreen button which is the "resolution changing button"... it's weird I know... I dont even know how to explain it properly lol

In IE and Opera, it's fine but this problem only on Chrome and Firefox sad.gif



UPDATED

Sifu lee again, solved my problem lol, didnt know it can be solved that easily lol

Can you try right click the flash, settings, then go to the leftmost tab, and disable hardware acceleration?
