Which drivers do I need to play OpenGL games with the AMD 6630M on my TP Edge E420?

Workaround: Go into the BIOS (UEFI) and disable switchable graphics.

Usually if this option isn't exposed by default, you can unlock the "Advanced Settings" by rapidly hitting the "A" button right after hitting the BIOS access button.

 

Have you actually tried that with this Laptop?

I've been in the BIOS before and there is only and option to have switchable graphics or the Intel 3000.
There is no option for the 6630M. You have to use the Switchable graphics option and choose which applications to use the 6630M (and this doesn't work for OpenGL games/applications).

 

It should have an option like this:

Code:

Option 'iGPU' = 0x0 Flags 0x0 Key 0x0
Option 'dGPU' = 0x1 Flags 0x0 Key 0x0
Option 'Hybrid' = 0x2 Flags 0x1 Key 0x0

If it's not there, then you will have to try the Advanced Settings trick I mentioned earlier. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to mod your BIOS just like one of those SONY VAIO machines with switchable graphics.

 

Yes, in bios there isn´t option to have only HD6630M. A think that it isn´t possible because discreet graphic card run over Intel GC... (like nVidia Optimus)

 

How would I go about that?

???????????????????????????????????

 

Just copy paste and then delete the spaces from the link ffs...

 

I have the same problem.

I own a acer , but i also have problems with running opengl (java game wurmonline).The laptop will run the game on onboard Intel HD 3000 instead of with the AMD Radeon HD 6650M.

Have tried alot of stuff, contacted acer and amd. Acer blaims amd, amd blaims acer. (but atleast amd said they would inform the catalyst dev team)

 

So maybe there some sort of un-official solution.....???

 

But it´s for insyde bios. Lenovo has Phoenix...
I tried search something about advanced settings for Phoenix, but I didn´t find anything :/

 

Ok.......

 

Something I found there http://www.mediafire.com/?csey87y4la6bu58
It´s not directly for advanced setting, it show how to unlock Intel virtualization settings in Phoenix bios.

 

Is your directx package up-to-date. if not go to the drivers download and pick up the latest, i had a problem with opengl not working and found out this was the problem.

 

I have a HP Envy Beats, I7 2630M, 8GB, with the same switchable graphics (AMD 6630M and Intel 3000) and I can't play any OpenGL games or programs with the AMD card too.

I already did everthing you could imagine, but unsuccessfully (http://h30487.www3.hp.com/t5/Software-para-notebooks/Envy-beats-14t-2000/m-p/134972#M13029).

If fix it, contact me, please, I will do the same. Tkx.

 

I think, that HP released updated bios with only discreet graphic option...

 

It´s here!

Tested, work OK but the ATI drivers are old (v 11.4).
So update it manualy to 11.10 prev. 3, install 11.9 CAP 3.
In CCC there is new option in power menu - methode of switching of graphics cards. There you must set Switch manualy/by power surce.
(Sorry for my english, also I have CCC in Czech so the name of menu etc. could be little different )

After this I can play Rage on my Lenovo E520 with cca 50FPS :bunch:
