QUOTE(Efalex @ Jun 25 2011, 08:32 AM) I think the only way to permanently switch to Radeon for 6114TX is configure all the executable files to run on "High Performance". Thanks Efalex...I was hoping there is an easy way out.... Welcome to the Decepticon. Still want to be known as "AsusFans" now??    |

Actually, I think the drivers are all in the C drive already but before installation it still prompts me to select drivers with an error message device/driver not found... I've googled it but they recommended formatting using ms-dos so I'm doing it now....

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Jun 25 2011, 05:46 PM) by clean install u mean to reformat your HDD and install Windows 7? There is no dialog asking me to install driver while installation. Hi Acid,  Yes. Strange enough for mine there is a dialog asking me to install driver right after I click install now button... BTW, I am installing Win 7 by USB drive. But I dun think it's that problem. Anyway, what i did was to use command prompt and repartition my drive into my desired volume sizes and now I'm restoring using HP recovery. Hopefully will be restored and I plan to upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate after done restoring...fingers crossed....

QUOTE(jacob521 @ Jun 27 2011, 03:00 PM) thanks for help Hi guys, 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 !!  Added on June 27, 2011, 3:01 pm 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.  Anyway to know if we are on built in graphic or radeon? Any indication? Thanks. |

QUOTE(jacob521 @ Jun 27 2011, 04:05 PM) the obvious part is, when you launch some game / program , if really switch to radeon ur screen will bling/shake like 1-3 sec. Hi Jacob,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 How do I check in preference to know which graphic card is active? Thanks. |

QUOTE(jacob521 @ Jun 27 2011, 04:34 PM) and MAYA too, this is bad... Anyone tried disabling intel HD from BIOS? Workable? I'd rather just have my radeon turned on all the time. Thanks.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 .  |

QUOTE(reevephon @ Jun 29 2011, 07:33 AM) Guys, do you know how to solve this issue? I'm unable to switch my AMD GPU to iGPU after updating my CCC to latest version. By the way, is there anyway that I can permanently use the HD3000 instead of AMD GPU? Hi Reevephon,Are you using 6001? how come you can switch ur graphics manually? |

QUOTE(warlove3 @ Jun 30 2011, 09:33 AM) erm, honestly, I do not use the auto-switching, as I only used the manual switching, as I disabled the auto-switching... HI Warlove3,hmm the dynamic switching I only encountered when I use the stock drivers. After updating, I've disabled automatic switching so when I need the AMD graphics that time only I switch to it by manually... Great to hear that. Would you mind telling me what version of drivers you are using? I am trying to disable automatic switching on my 6114 as well. Thanks. |

QUOTE(RiverDrifte @ Jun 30 2011, 10:28 AM) My best bet is 6001TX because those with 6114TX already have dynamic switching implemented and thus the manual switching is unavailable just like the CCC screenshot from Acid compare to other's 6114's CCC screenshot. Haha, and I was happy for a while.....thanks for the reply..» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  i can't find any reference website or faq to show u but from my personal experience, never boot computer with USB storage devices like pendrive or external hard disk drive or even device like iPod/iPhone plugin to the USB port when booting. The PC/Laptop will tend to stuck on BIOS only. wonders why. |

Sifus,
Again I hit a barrier. Some of my software for work only works in XP. Now I think I should be able to complete the dual boot process but the drivers are nowhere to be found. I tried HP website and all they offer are 32 and 64 bit win7. So, is there any way I can obtain xp drivers for my 6114? Thanks!! |
