how do i switch between them????
Haven't you received a manual with your product?
I'm sure you can find something in the index.
There are quite a lot of computers in the DV6 series. What is the full product number?
HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment Notebook PC series
If you obtained a manual, go to the index and look for keywords like (HDD, hard drive, etc...)
Dwarf,
Intel and Radeon HD 5470
Hardware t%l and 3D Problem HELP
No idea what he is doing wrong but have a feeling that Windows Update is still snaking in a driver update that it shouldn't, and that it is breaking how the switchable graphics is supposed to work. As for the actual model number of his laptop,
HP Pavilion dv6-3073ca Entertainment Notebook PC (XA667UA) specifications - HP Home & Home Office Products
Windows based drivers suck, you'll be better off using the manufacturers version, it unlocks the hardwares full potential.
If you wandering what im doing ill tell you the full story
Right the problem isnt hardware t&l or 3d i realised this because if i didnt have these the game im trying to play wouldnt even start because they are required
so i crossed that out
ive tried every driver possible so im certain this isnt the problem either
so im just trying diffrent things and this could be the problem ill keep it to one topic this time though.
Great usage of the process of elimination, if you identify the problem I might me able to help you.
Totally dude, make sure you get stable versions aswell, I don't really reliably trust beta drivers :P
