Question [Problem] Can't update. - 04-29-2012, 18:40 | posts: 13

I can't seem to be able to update my Radeon HD 6770M card using that thing from the official website, it always says that it is incompatible with my hardware.

How am i supposed to update my graphics card?

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

It haz switchable graphics between Intel and Radeon.

What do i do? Need more info, just say something.

You need to check the laptop maker's website... AMD doesn't provide support for systems with switchable graphics.

There are modded drivers here: http://leshcat.*************/2012/04/...l#comment-form

Be sure to follow instructions EXACTLY. There is a link on the sidebar at the site.

I highly recommend Leshcat 12.2 WHQL UP5. Not gonna recommend 12.3 because of the sticky 3D clock.

Wow, thanks but... is it safe to mod it? O.O I mean... you are changing stuff inside the graphics card, won't that mess it up somehow? Is it safe?

And were are the instructions...? '-'

I can confirm that it's safe and realy good drivers
And no, you don't change stuff in the card (bios), it's only moded normal driver for switching support (like the drivers from notebook manufacturer, but without digital sign)

See manual (link in the right menu)

Don't panic. Worst case just do a system restore. You right click on desktop. Do you see a switchable graphics option at the top of the pop-up menu?

Yes, did you install the new leshcat drivers? You have to run the installer. Did you read through the instructions?
If you have installed the new drivers then go to graphics settings and change the resolution to what you want.
