Modified ATI Catalyst 11.2 Switchable Graphics Driver

Thanks V-FrIeNd, your driver works with Vostro 3450. However, I still can't use OpenGL on my 6630M
Has anyone been able to get OpenGL to work on Sandy Bridge laptops using modified drivers? I'm still struggling...

 

Although i have the same card ati 5470 which is in these models . ATI_11.6_W7x64_Alien9_switchable_v3.exe
didnt work for me . my laptop model states that i have switchable graphics but hp ati driver didnt work for me :bang: this is what i find in my inf file

[ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.1]
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470" = ati2mtag_ManhattanP_PXAI, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68E0&SUBSYS_143A103C
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6370" = ati2mtag_ManhattanP_PXAI, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68E4&SUBSYS_143A103C

Dropbox disabled your link. Any mirrors?

 

It works again now

 

Update 11.7b For Dell Vestro 3450 4110

Install driver from dell first.
http://ftp.us.dell.com/video/R302028.exe

and restart.

Install driver from my colo (11.6 8.862.0)
http://202.172.16.151/@OCZ AMD Zone...O Pack/AMD_Catalyst_Driver_11.7b_AIO_Win7.rar
mediafire > http://www.mediafire.com/?nbrl5yium37h77e

and restart.

It's work for me, no warning in device manager



(If you use 11.6 now, you can install only 11.7b not need to remove older versions)

 

are you guys gonna upgrade the drivers anymore `?

 

Please make switchable drivers with 11.7b catalyst and CAP3
In original drivers from manufacturer I have also one extra file - CCC-profile-mobile, but I didn´t find what it is.

I have Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520 with Intel i3 and HD6630M.

Thanks a lot

 

Any thoughts about getting this working on a Lenovo W500

Latest manufacturer drivers at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-73641

I actually missed this update as it's badly labelled as bios! It isn't - it's video!

Hardware IDs are:

ATI (ATI FirePro V5700 (FireGL))

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9591&SUBSYS_212617AA&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9591&SUBSYS_212617AA
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9591&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9591&CC_0300

Intel (Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A42&SUBSYS_211517AA&REV_07
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A42&SUBSYS_211517AA

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A42&CC_0300

 

OK, yours drivers doesn´t work on Lenovo TP Edge E520. It can´t install ATI display driver

So how I made it:
Install original Lenovo drivers
Install new mobile CCC , but don´t install ATI display driver! (custom installation)
Update drivers manualy in hardware manager

Also you can install CAP3

 

Can someone explain to me why we need to remove Intel Management Software? In my Remove Programs this goes by the full name "Intel Management Engine Components" right ?

I read about it and what it does, it's basically a remote prog for network admins to get into my laptop right? So I don't really need it?

Thanks for any info.

 

so,
on my laptop, lenovo y560 with an ati 5730 and intel hd graphics cards, icant install the 11.6 version. it is also telling me that i have no switchable system.
any idea why?
also, the method mentioned by TwL also didnt work. :|

 

Just because you have switchable capable doesn't mean you have one. Contact Lenovo and ask if your model supports it. This is something laptop manufacturers have to implement, often they choose not to.

 

Try my method. It works OK on my Lenovo TP E520
I have now 11.8 WHQL drivers.

 

i will try it.
i must mention that i have lenovo's drivers installed now, and i saw that they are 11.7. and switching works, of course.

P.S.
yeeey i have the latest drivers!

nope, still 11.7 but the date is back to 2010. how can i mnually install the latest drivers? where to get them?

P.P.S.
this is very annoying. i managed to install 11.8 catalyst version and crysis 2 was no longer playable. now i just can't go back to catalyst 11.7. i uninstalled everything from ati, used driver sweeper and ccleaner and still the catalyst version is 11.8. any idea how i could revert to the previous version?

 

reinstalling windows. i managed to wipe everything, installed the stock drivers from lenovo, reinstalled crysis, and still the game is unplayabe. 10-15 fps. before i had 30-40 fps.

 

Hey Alien,

If you have some free time would you mind updating your switchable driver?

Cheers.

 

nonyhaha: When you reinstall drivers manualy, it works, but CCC show old version. When you look in to GPU-Z you can see true verison

 

I have a HP dv6-6128ca

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...-core-a6-3400m-black-dv6-6128ca/10171280.aspx

This has the 6755G2 so basically its a graphics card with the 6550g and 6750M

The 6750M is supposed to be the dedicated. However ive been trying tons of drivers and i really only think the 6550G is running. Will these drivers solve my problem?? Or do i need something different.

(im only getting 20-25FPS abolute minimum graphics setting in Rift i think i should be getting more then this)

 

Hi all.

Once I've seen this work I realized it was very valuable.
Right away I tried to contact Alien9 in order to create a dedicated web-page, and possibly share its knowledge.

Even so, all my attemps to reach him where in vain.

For what I understood, Alien9 has reached a point where he doesn't have time to keep up with this work.
It seems to me that he is going to abandond this one-man-ship.

I can only hope that he shares some of what he learned with us.

Thanks for your work Alien9!

Kind regards.

 

I have been working with Nvidia switchable graphics drivers for quite a while now. My girlfriend recently got a Vaio SC from best buy so I got my first taste of ATI/AMD switchable graphics. Needless to say I have been looking into the procedures ATi/AMD uses for their switchable graphics and have quite a bit of it down. Expanding Alien8s work wouldn't be too difficult of a thing it is unfortunate though that many who seem to be modding ATI/AMD switchable graphics drivers do not go about documenting the process or their findings much. One thing that I have noticed about ATI/AMDs approach to switchable graphics is that its use of a proxy allows for separation of the Intel and ATI/AMD drivers. This is beneficial for us because using separate Intel and ATI/AMD drivers, as windows expects, allows us to use the security catalog for each resulting in no driver signing needed.

The real difficulty in a universal switchable graphics driver for ATI/AMD is the various approaches to switching and the various techniques used to do it. We have both multiplexer and non-multiplexer based switching, on top of that we have hardware switches, software switches, automatic software switches, etc. Its a grand undertaking I understand well because I tried it on the Nvidia side.

I have looked at Alien8s driver package and I like a lot of what hes done but there are a few areas that could be improved.
