6770m + Battlefield 3 Issues

i do, i tried repairing it but it didnt work

and i have the one with sandy bridge, that would be 6100 correct?

which HP driver should i try? i've tried some but i dont know if they were correct:/

 

I assumed u have updated your BIOS to F.1A. If not update it 1st.

1. Download this HP driver if u don't have it yet, ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54462.exe.
2. In AMD CIM, uninstall everything. Reboot.
3. Express install the HP driver u just downloaded. Done.

After that u can simple install AMD Mobility driver on top of HP driver, don't remove it.

Links: AMD Mobility Catalyst 11.9 | AMD Mobility Catalyst 11.10 | DNA-AMD GFX 11.8.3-prev

 

can i uninstall from the add/remove programs fully?

and i've heard 11.9 is the best, can you confirm?

 

Yes. For me DNA-AMD GFX 11.8.3-prev still the best. Your mileage may vary.

 

ok i did what you said, but when i was installing both the hp drivers and 11.9 it said installation complete(warnings occured during installation)

i clicked view logs there were no warnings, it should be fine right?

 

yeah i just got a blue screen saying the driver failed

what is going on :*(

 

yea it should be fine.. just need to reboot.

what u doing when it happened? browsing internet? playing game? watching youtube video?

 

i was browsing the internet

 

ok, i wanted to install 10.9 driver so i went into device manager and selected AMD 6770m and clicked on uninstall driver.


After that i just cant select the AMD card in the configure switchable graphics option.

Its almost like the card doesnt exist in my laptop, what do i do?

 

Xacid, do you use ready driver plus as is instructed on the DNA download link?

 

ok i used ready driver plus and everything and installed DNA 11.8.3 prev 2.

the performance is significantly improved now, im getting the same performance in GTA 4 as what i got with overclock at 875/950.


but the thing is, i cant select the integrated intel card from configure switchable graphics . ?

 

hey mate,

i'd go with the 11.9 AMD Mobility drivers, they work fine for BF3, where as 11.10 has issues with texture flickering

you can get this from

ATI Mobility Catalyst Display Driver 11.9 for Vista/Windows 7 Driver for Windows Vista / Windows 7 Free Download - Softpedia
(not sure if its 32 or 64bit version)

otherwise just do a search for AMD 11.9 mobility and you'll definitely find it somewhere.

The process I used to install was:

1. Uninstall AMD / ATI catalyst install manager from windows using the standard AMD catalyst uninstaller (i.e. from control panel, add remove programs..)

2. Install Driver Sweeper 3.2 from phyxion.net

3. Reboot into safe mode, Run Driver Sweeper and clean the remnants of AMD display driver

4. Reboot normally, and then Install HP latest official AMD display drivers 8.830.3.3000 (or a number something like that), downloaded from HP support website

5. Reboot, Install AMD Mobility 11.9

6. Reboot, and you're done!

The above process worked good for me, and eventually when AMD Mobility 11.11 comes out, I'll skip all that stuff and just try and install it directly over the 11.9 drivers.

Tho if that fails, I'll redo the above process with 11.11 at Step 5.

Hope that helps

 

hiya mate,

if you cant select intel card from switchable graphics option in CCC (catalyst control centre) you may have your BIOS graphics setting to "Fixed" instead of Dynamic.

If it is then switch it to Dynamic, in which case CCC should then enable you to switch the GFX, but it might mean in OpenGL games it wont use your 6770m but will use intel card instead (its a bug with Dynamic)

I prefer using Fixed as I always want to use my 6770m, because when its not gaming, it automatically downclocks to low voltage speeds of 100mhz/100mhz instead of 725/800

Anyway, hope that helps your issue

Btw, to access Bios, press Esc at boot up, then press F1 i think.

 

Guys.... I'm having the same problem with my screen when I had Bad Company 2.

When I play in full screen Battlefield 3, there is this 1.5 cm thick black bar on the right side of my screen.

It's freaking annoying how the hell do I get rid of it please helpppppp!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nvm I downloaded the 11.9 drivers and it fixed that issue DDD

 

What u mean u can't select? Does the switchable available but u can't switch it or the option for switchable is not there?

 

ok i downloaded the drivers but battlefield is still not playing like it was...im starting to think its somehting else, anyone have any ideas?

edit: when i right click on desktop and click configure switchable graphics or graphics properties nothing comes up...its like it doesn't register

any ideas?

 

Isn't driver sweeper known to cause a lot of problems? Are you sure using it is a good idea?

 

tried 11.10 WHQL today. notable increase in FPS but crashes sometimes

 

man when I used driver sweeper it messed up my lap!can't boot showing BSOD and can't get into windows at all..hardly got into safe mode and did system restore then it worked..I must warn u from using driver sweeper it almost killed the system donnu why,I use it all the time with Nvidia drivers and it ran well,now with amd not sure..take care

 

hmm in my experience its been fine and i've run it several times with no issues (tho only to uninstall AMD display drivers and nothing else)

im using the latest version - 3.2

but yeah, if other ppl have had problems, use it with caution or try to avoid using it unless u have to.

in my case i had to (graphics card wouldnt be detected by windows after standard catalyst uninstall), and coz i used it once and its ok, ive used it several times since

 

hmm thats no good mate, did u uninstall the AMD drivers first before attempting to use driver sweeper?

which version of driver sweeper did u encounter the issues with?

 

I'm starting to think something is wrong with my 6770m. My FPS in GTA and BF3 has randomly gone down to 10-25 fps now, and idk is wrong :\

 

i've use driver sweeper 3.1 and 3.2 many times since i got this laptop. didn't encounter any problem.

use GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner to check the GPU usage when u running the game. 99%?

 

i think im just gonna do a full system restore.

 

ya same here, used driver sweeper 3.2 about 4 times since i got laptop never had a problem

maybe newer vesions driver sweeper work quite ok, whereas older versions have some issues? im not sure but im quite happy to continue using it as i havent encountered issues yet

 

Tried this crappy game with whql 11.10 and here is what i've got:
bat3 bugs - YouTube

 

I used to have I-don't-know-what driver version and BF3 would just crash randomly and I would get this message "amd driver stop responding ..". Then I updated to 11.09 after reading this thread and I would still crash some times while playing BF3.
I thought it was a battlefield issue but I crashed while using photoshop as well... Does the bios have to do with anything? (F.13)

It's getting pretty annoying just disconnecting in the middle of a game... help?

 

Ok, I followed kharn's instruction and installed 11.10 (I don't play Battlefield 3, just want the latest driver). Now no monitoring programs can detect the version of my Catalyst, and the driver is still 8.830.6.3000 (in 11.10 it's 8.892...). Is that supposed to be normal?

Btw, in my CCC, the catalyst version is 2011.1012.1625.27603.

 

i installed hp drivers then 10.9 (just drivers no CCC) and it works fine. i think lower FPS but no crashes, driver halts, etc.

 

Meanwhile, with DNA 11.8.3.
watch?v=Oz8T4yZxDPU

 

AMD support sucks big time!no auto detect..and when I download anything newer and try to install it refuses claiming I have the latest driver and up to date!idiots..they'll never reach Nvidia's level..

 

from where u downloaded the driver? AMD website?
what is the current driver u're using? HP factory preinstalled?

You can't really blame AMD because its clearly stated in their website that..

 

Hi!
I have a Pavilion with switchable grapichs. I have been trying to find out how to change my computer to fixed. Because the latest driver from HP is crap, and I have to play Battlefield on low settings, and even then I have a delay in my movement. So can anybody please help me with the info/link to information so I can fully start bennefitting the power of my 6770m. Thanks!

 

Man I downloaded the 11.10 whql and installed it over the latest official HP from thier site,bad results,then I heard 11.9 is better,so I said let's give it a try,tried to uninstall and donnu what happened to the lap it got messed up!anyway I hardly managed to install it and it's even worse!so I tried to revert back to 11.10 and as I said does not accept..anyway BF3 is now not worthy,MW3 is really way better by every aspect,try it and u'll forget Battleshi...

 

This is the first time i heard about the DNA drivers. What is better to use DNA 11.10.1-prev2 or the official 11.10 drivers? Right now i am using the official 11.10 drivers, i do not have terrible results, but if i could get better why not.

 

Hey bobsev, you have to update your bios with this link:
HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

Make sure you power adapter is plugged in, and after you install the BIOS update, keep tapping F10 as your computer is starting up and it'll take you to the BIOS settings, there change your Graphics Mode to "FIXED." Then you can right click on your desktop and go to "Configure Switchable Graphics" and select the high powered gpu.

 

I say stick with official 11.10 if u have no problem with it. DNA 11.10.1-prev2 have problem running OpenGL application and u need to disable force driver signature to install it. The 11.8.3 in other hand, have proper driver signature.

Lmao.. show us some screenshots of the error u get and the source u downloaded the AMD driver so we could identify the problem and help you.

 

I have the official 11.10, the display driver is 8.892.0.0 Is that the latest.

 

^ officially? yes. unofficial? no.
You can google for leaked AMD v8.92/8.912

 

It is also clearly stated in their AMD Product Compatibility table that entire 64xx series except 6410D and the entire 67xx series isn't supported at all.

So don't be surprised if it is giving you trouble. You have to accept the risks for using unsupported drivers.

 

ok I reinstalled 11.09 again and I don't get crashes anymore, I do when I'm using fraps though.. Does this happen to anyone else? How could this be fixed? I don't think I'm running out of ram.. it the amd driver that stops responding anyway. help?

 

that is pretty weird. don't use fraps, use the built in cl_drawfps 1 console command in bf3 to work around the problem though

 

Hi mjl2116
Thanks allot for the help! I downloaded the BIOS and installed it. But when I tapped F10 in the startup I did not get any choices of changing my graphics. Actually I got quite few choices avalable... Is there something I'm missing? and might it be the wrong BIOS, I got a Pavilion dv6-6071eo, or doesn't that matter?

 

^ 60XX series only have manual switchable, while 61XX series will have both dynamic and manual after BIOS update.

 

Hi

I have an ati 6770m in an HP Pavilion dv6-6023tx notebook, running the official hp 11.8 driver release but i want to get the best performance for BF3.

So Ive looked at the guide from kharn83 but the link to the 11.9 driver is a 32 bit one i need one for 64bit windows, can anyone provide me with a link to any tested and working 11.9 drivers for my hardware mentioned?

Also is 11.9 the most stable leak or is the a 11.10 that's working properly around?

 

There is no leaked 11.9, this is Official 11.9 WHQL..

AMD Catalyst Mobility 11.9 Win 7 | Vista (64-bit)

 

I use fraps to record gameplay not only to show my fps though ):
Is there a reason why my card crashes when using bf3+fraps?

 

i use MSI Afterburner for overclocking, OSD, screen capture and video capture. all bundled in 1.

 

I'll give it a try. Thanks xAcid
