OffBoard Video Card doesnt show up
#1
hi everyone,

My video card doesnt appear in the selection list.

I have Dell Inspiron n4050 with two video cards, one off-board and another on-board. I want to select the off-board, which is best...
but the selection list just let me select Default Hardware Device, Reference Device and Mobile Intel® HD Graphics.

I am using the sse2 version of the gs plugin, and my off-board graphic card is AMD Radeon HD 7450M....

should I change something... or the option Reference Device is actually refering to my off-board video card???

Thanks guys!!!!

Check your AMD control centre options, im sure theres an option somewhere to do with discreet video card or something (don't have an AMD so i cant check)

Do you have the latest drivers installed for your Dedicated(OffBoard) video card?

i wonder if he switched the onboard graphics off in the bios, whether that would help,

it's such a long time since i had a pc with one in that i've kind-of forgotten    

i do remember though that i had to switch mine off because it caused some serious irq problems

i'm sure switching it off couldn't hurt thoughSmile
Not sure what graphics card you have, it's memory bandwidth,
it's temperature, fan speed, what pixel shader it has
try TechPowerUp's gpu-z

Not sure what your cpu is try cpu-z
