    hi

    i wanted to ask some q's about 6770 in the dv6 6080 and i hope some experts help

    1- is the OpenGL problem in the gpu 6770 or the problem in the laptop itself ( hp's mistake )
    2- is that problem does exist in dv6 6080 ? or it is in the other series ?
    3- if doesn't exist in it.. so dv6-6080 runs photoshop and sap and the opengl programs on 6770 gpu all the time without any problem and in it's normally full speed.. am i right ? as it will be my main use so it is meaningless to use the intel gpu !!

    thanks in advance

    You see that sticky at the top of the page? It's there for a reason.

    You don't have any OpenGL problems because your laptop is a dv6-60xx.

    It has a mux, unlike the dv6-61xx.

    Yes

    The 6000 series have "mux" switching which means you can totally disable the onboard graphics, or the dedicated graphics if you want.

    The 6770 will support open GL.

    I have the dv7 not too sure on the model how do i find out?

    Do some dv7's have mux? Cause when I look up my graphics info in AutoCAD it shows the integrated.
