That is correct! You have 21 days from delivery date to return the product to HP for a refund. If you paid for shipping...you will not get that back...but you will get purchase price and tax refunded

What are the alternatives for dv6 or dv7? Is the AMD Llano worth replacing this?
-
Yesterday my friend gave me the starcraft 2 demo, and without changing any drivers, I ran it on ultra settings pretty easily, which probably means that my Radeon had kicked in.
I'm new to this whole issue, my laptop delivered about 4 days ago, but how do I tell if this issue is happening to my computer? Because I can easily run SC2, but is that a game that switchable graphics work on?
Also, is the Oblivion/Bioshock bundle affected by this same issue? Because I was looking to only have 3 games on my laptop for quite a while, just SC2 and oblivion/bioshock. If these 3 are supported by the switchable, then I suppose that I am fine. But does anyone know, are they supported?
Thanks for the help. -

Thanks for the reply. I suppose that is why Starcraft worked easily...
But damn, I guess no Orange Box until they get a fix... I was kinda looking into that too?
Has hp released anything on this? This kinda seems to be an awful business move for them... -

For the 100th time - OpenGL is the only thing that does not work with switchable graphics.
90 % of games are DirectX. So most gamers will not have problems. The only people who have problems are generally modeling/3d graphic program users, minecraft, and older games. -
Source engine is DirectX
-
-
I may play Heroes of Newerth or Dota map of Warcraft 3. Looks like these games won't be using the 6770m right?
-
No. Both of those games use DirectX. The 6770m will work. And I learned that by googling it.
-
The Windows Experience Index score of my graphics is 6.6 but it shows up as Mobile Intel HD Graphics in the score details. On notebookcheck.com it says that the graphics score of the 6770M is 6.9 and I saw a Youtube video of someone with a 60xx model with a score of 7. Also, on SystemRequirementsLab, it's saying that I'm using the Intel graphics even though it outlines the features of the 6770M. Is there a way to get them to show that I have the Radeon card?
-
Thanks jiggawhat. So as long as the game support DirectX and OpenGL at the same time, it will run. Only pure OpenGL apps will have a problem with switching.
-
Hwinfo32 reports the Intel card as GPU 0 and the AMD as GPU 1 as well. Go figure...Also attaching a screen shot of Hwinfo32. Right now...my machine is running on AMD.
BTW...the HD6850M scores a 7.1 on Windows Index...so you look about rightAttached Files:

If you want to know if your game will correctly switch on the 6770, read this:
If the game is Minecraft, the 6770 won't work.
If the game is not Minecraft, the 6770 will turn on. -
So for a simple test, we just need to run Minecraft if switching will work. I think it's fair enough.
-
@sonyco - your laptop is in the power saving intel HD graphics mode. since you can't manually switch it, I'm not sure if you can get it to recognize the 6770m. but rest assured that the 6770m is indeed a 6.9 or 7. try recalculating windows experience index, and see if it changes. until we get manual switching im not sure what to tell you
my guess is that it starts out with the intel hd graphics but after the Windows experience index calculations start ramping up it switches to the 6770m and so you get a weaker score (6.6) than what it should be. -
1 more thing. I believe quake live is another game that uses OpenGL. But Quake Live is so old that it should run more than adequately on Intel HD graphics.
-
So all of a sudden I am hearing a different take on this switching problem. The list that was posted of all the programs that will not run on the dv6 and dv7 notebooks is not correct after all?
-
That's not a list of programs that won't run, it's just a list of programs that won't use the 6770M. If you read through it, you'll see that most of them are wallpapers, old games, etc. etc for which Intel's graphics is perfectly sufficient. The main problematic programs are MineCraft and various content creation tools (e.g. most of Adobe's suite).
-
Many thanks again jiggawhat. Then this model is more worth it than the AMD A8 as of now since there are also driver issues on A8. I will be sticking to the i7 with 6770m config from best buy.

Just because a game uses OpenGL doesn't mean the game exclusively uses OpenGL.
List of OpenGL programs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list is NOT A LIST OF games that won't run on the 6770m. More than half of these games will run properly.
There are only two popular games I can think of that will not run and they are Minecraft and Quake Live. And both of these games will run, it's just they will use the HD 3000 graphics - which will run both comfortably but not at the highest settings. -
-
Well I guess my 6770M is working the way it should. According to Notebookcheck.net I should get a score of 1357 on 3dMark 11 on Performance....
..just wish AMD/HP would get this sorted out. CUPID Monitor Pro doesn't even show my 6770M...is something wrong?
-
Actually it seems to me notebookcheck says you should get 1490 overall, and a 1357 graphics score.
By the way someone with a 6750m + llano just benchmarked his machine in crossfire and it got a 1750 in 3dmark11. -
-
-
Also, don't forget that notebookcheck is testing with the cards at full settings. Example...my 6850 is supposed to be clocked by default at 725. HP modded it to clock at 650.. -
860/920
-
-
so i am using it, but its not modded by anyone else. its stock drivers.
-
We are also forgetting Amnesia: The Dark Descent- that does not work
-
-
Explorer has GPU acceleration - but lets be real you don't need it for either applicaiton
Amnesia the dark descent is a good one though
we should make a list and sticky it in this forum -

Well after having a Dell tech probe every orifice of my DV7t he determined my 6770 wasn't "working like it should". I ordered an XPS17 and when it gets here the DV7T is going home never to return. My speaker grill is dented anyway (which they paid me for) but it still looks ugly so back to Dell I go. The XPS is costing me $75 more after all is said and done so w/e. $520 off the XPS...can't go wrong. See now that I did that... AMD will fix the issue for you all within the next 8 days..
-
I'm considering buying an XPS 17 as well. Cost is more but less problems, and slightly better build quality
-
-
-
PLUS...the switchable graphics works great on the Envy. I expect that somewhere along the line the switchable on the Pavillion will get fixed...but I can certainly see the frustration...
I purchased a Pavillion for my son...so far, delivery is late...will see
Also...if you want XPS class with better machine...try the new Toshiba Qosmio x770 / x775 models....Those look superb! Nvidia GTX560M, and a lot of new configurations...
I have had Dells. I have dealt with Dell tech support. I am not gonna pay extra to talk to someone stateside for tech support. -
So, completely out of curiosity, what would happen if you just disabled the integrated GPU through device manager? Would it just turn back on, or would it force the computer to use the 6770m?
-
-
I really have no idea what to do anymore, can we get some more opinions in this thread? Dell XPS 17, dv7t, HP envy....what the hell do I buy?
I'm not rich so I can't afford to make a bad decision -
ok i got a dv6-6135 and noticed yet another problem with the graphics
In Google earth, when you set it to use the Radeon gpu, it will not scale..
you will notice there is a black region on the right part of the screen, even clicking on photos in google earth is not working 100% the are shifted (you have to click half a cm on the right of the icon)
there is no setting for SCALE in CCC... there is a setting in the intel but it does nothing when using the radeon
whe using intel it works OK..
this will be a huge problem for games that use a standard resollution (eg. 800X600) -
