Precision 7510 Owner's Thread

thank you @karman , hoping dell will give me a 7710 and igzo, I will ask again / update you.
ciao!!

 

Sucks when you buy your second 7510 for $3400 usd and they forgot to include the nvidia graphics you bought, only shows Intel 530 but somehow they managed to install nvidia software without the part, logged a ticket w dispatch

 

It is not about hope. If your order UHD display for 7510 or 7710 it will have to be IGZO technology display.

No offence, but probably you are totally wrong. Do you have NVIDIA Quadro at your bill?

NVIDIA Quadro graphic cards support Optimus technology for many years. Probably both cards (Intel and NVIDIA) are installed, but Quadro is inactive. It would be under load. You can disable Switchable graphics in BIOS and try again.

So, before you criticise Dell, check it correctly.

 

Thanks a lot I did that same thing on my Lenovo p50 but both cards showed up in device manager prior to disabling. I will try that in morning

 

Device manager in Widows is the most idiotic way to verify the hardware configuration. Windows does not support and recognise many devices in proper way.

Download Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop, make a Live USB (instruction: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows), start Ubuntu in Live mode and use lspci command in terminal. There you will get all devices connected to PCI bus, even disabled, suspended or without drivers.

You should get something similar, but with Intel and NVIDIA instead of AMD.

Probably you hardware is hundred-percent correct, just Windows sucks.

 

It would be far easier to use some Windows tool like e.g. Aida 64..

 

Yeah, but all Windows tools have limited access to hardware, limited by Windows. Linux ans UNIX tools could get raw access to hardware layer.

Of course, jasonj566 can start with some Windows tools like AIDA64.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if something is amiss here and the Quadro is actually present... but every machine I have seen with switchable graphics has shown both GPUs in device manager.

 

I'm pretty sure the Nvidia card would show up if present... it's possible the MXM card is DOA, or maybe unsealed from its slot.

Also, it's not an idiotic thing for Windows to have a layer between it and the hardware, it allows for easier integration with more types of hardware, and there are literally unlimited combinations of hardware configurations that work. Been that way sin Win95....

Should be able to check in BIOS in the video card is recognized or disabled.

 

I disabled switchable graphics in bios now all I get is a damn black screen showing on display before I disabled on graphics info in bios was just showing Intel
