    Updating graphics drivers on switchable graphics


    HP DV6 6121tx
    AMD HD6770M
    Windows 7 64bit

    I just reinstalled Windows and I want to update my graphics drivers to the latest ones (13.1). I'm runnning Dynamic mode.
    So at first I installed the latest HP provided AMD Display drivers from HP's website
    AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver HP Pavilion dv6-6121tx Entertainment Notebook PC | HP® Support

    Now I thought I'm supposed to install any new versions of HP drivers *over* this since this HP one contained drivers essential for dynamic switching. But if I run the 13.1 installer and view the log, it skips over the display driver part and just updates AMD install manager and some other useless components.


    How do I install 13.1 without messing up dynamic switchable graphics?

    Unless HP decides to release an updated driver, you're basically stuck with what you have. As you found out the driver from AMD won't install. That is because it doesn't include/support the switchable graphics.

    Now with that said there is this modded set,

    Leshcat

    that includes both the latest AMD and Intel driver, and is modded to work with most laptops with that combination.

    You could go to the ati website and download their free driver auto detect run it and it should fix the problems if you run it it should install over the existing install it should work. Try it
