This is the answer to the present question. This also confirms the comments made above by Ramhound on using the OEM drivers. As stated in the comment, I used the 64-bit AMD driver and the Intel Win8 32-bit driver on a Win 7 32-bit system. So, the driver and the CCC application that I had to install were those modified by HP (downloaded from here). As for the Intel card, the 32-bit package for Windows 8 is compatible with Windows 7 as well." Make sure to uninstall the current driver, restart, and then install the one provided by HP. Despite the fact no 32-bit driver seem to be available, the 64-bit package actually contains both. (See - How To Find Unknown Device Drivers By Their Vendor & Device ID) The advice was to find first the harware's id. Thanks to the advice given by and31415 (in the comments under other question) I was able to install the Catalyst driver and the Catalyst Control Center (and the rest of the Catalyst/AMD suite). The installation procedure has these stages:īut the folder C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies is empty!Ĭan this be because of the Intel Graphics and Media Control Center which is installed? I cannot run it, although it looks installed in add/remove list. To sum up, the AMD Catalyst Install Manager can be installed from here (called "Latest AMD Catalyst™ Drivers for Radeon™ R9 200, R7 200, HD 7000, HD 6000 and HD 5000 Series") but then it looks useless to me. The Win8-32bit manager installs on the system but then reports that it cannot find any drivers. When I try to use the AMD Driver Autodetect (from here), the same error happens (although for some reason this utility chooses the 7xxxM series instead of 6xxxM series).įollowing Ramhound's comments, I searched specifically for an OEM driver (AMD driver modified by HP) and found ( here only 64-bit version for Win7 and Win 8 versions. I searched here for the Catalyst Control Center utility (the one presented here)īut when I try to install the catalyst_mobility_32-bit_util.exe, I get this:


One discrete card (an ATI/AMD Radeon HD 6470M in your case) for rendering.The system works fine in windows, but sometimes the cooler gets noisy for minute tasks and I guess that is because the discrete card is used: I want to be able to control the way this works. I gave up using Linux on that PC but now I want to have a bit more control in Windows (7). I had some graphics problems with this VGA card in Linux and I found ( here) that I have this double-VGA type of GPU (if my terms are correct). I have a ATI Dynamic Switchable Graphics on a HP Pavilion g7 (hp pavilion g7-1246ef).
