[sagarsoni]

i have recently bought HP Pavilion G6-2206TX. it has 2gb ATI/AMD Radeon HD 7670M. but when i checked my compatibility of GTA 4, it showed "not compatible".
also it showed my graphics card as Intel HD Graphics 3000. here is that screenshot:

please help me. i purchased laptop for radeon 7670m not for intel hd graphics 3000.

Because that your graphics card..Intel HD Graphics 3000, GTA4 and Crysis are incompatible with it. You were probably misinformed about the 2GB 7670 card.

EDIT - Just checked the specs of your laptop, and it does show its got a 7670m, try updating the graphics card drivers.

That's weird. What's GPU-Z is showing?

 

[Nerevarine]

your laptop has dual graphics.. see the ati control center to enable your HD 7670M

 

[gameranand]

Install the latest GPU drivers of AMD and you are good to go. It automatically switches between those two GPU units.

^^ Hey

In war, Victory. In peace, Vigilance. In death, Sacrifice.

[gameranand]

Yes its from Dragon Age Origins. Its Grey Warden's motto.
One of my favorite games.

Set gta4 to high performance mode in catalyst control centre after installing new catalyst drivers.

heating can be the issue....

connect to AC and play game. If game is properly patched, discrete GPU will kick in. You'll know this if the game is playable.

I had to disable my onboard graphics from the device manager.

Try that ?

 

[cyborg47]

Man..these kind of problems would scare the s-hit out of me, after spending thousands of rupees on a device only to realize that its got the wrong specs, scary!!

@OP : download the latest drivers for your GPU and check if GTA4 works properly
i had a similar situation with my Laptop where all the games were running on HD 2000,then i downloaded the drivers for my GT540M from the nvidia site and it fixed the problem

 

[NVIDIAGeek]

I think it's Windows 8 doing something fishy. I recommend you to install Win7 and install latest drivers and the laptop'll be worth the money. Windows 8 << Win Vista.

GUP Z does not work. it shows logo and hangs. then i have to end it from task manager. i am download all latest drivers from hp website. it will take 3-5 days to download.

^ Have you tried GPU-Z with compatability option?

 

[gameranand]

Don't download GPU drivers from HP site. Get it from AMD site, HP may have older one.

 

[Jripper]

Jesus :\


Go to my computer=> right click=>manage=> Open device manager=> Display adapters.
There should be two adapters there. One for hd 3000 and another for hd 7600m series or something.

Check this first and report back.

 

[gameranand]

Well as per specs his laptop has that GPU.

Bro Afaik There is something called Enduro!! which is just like optimus .. Head to GPU settings and select a option similar to "Run on high performance GPU" And yeah Install latest patch 1.7 or 1.4 will do.. 1.7 will enable u playing MP
And yeah as the Experts ^^ above told.. Update the GPU drivers !! BTW you need to run GTA IV in compatibility mode select Win 7 for that !
