To increase the operating time of mobile computers without connecting them to an AC network, two video cards are installed in these devices. To install the correct drivers, you must correctly identify the model of both video adapters.
Necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - Everest.
Instructions
Step 1
Install the Everest software. It will allow you to get the most complete information about the status and characteristics of the devices installed in your laptop. Run the program, wait for the system and device scan to complete, and open the "Display adapters" menu.
Step 2
Find and remember the model of both video cards. In the event that your laptop runs on an Intel processor, visit the Russian version of the official website of this company www.intel.ru

Now select your operating system and download the appropriate driver kit (software) for your integrated video card. Please note: switching video cards will be done automatically and only if the integrated video adapter cannot cope with the load. If your laptop has an AMD processor, visit www.ati.com
Step 5
Go to the "Support & Drivers" menu. Now in the Component Category, select Notebook Graphics. Now, in the Product Line column, indicate the series of your video card, for example, C-Series APU. In the next menu Product Model, specify the model of your integrated video card, for example, C-50 APU. Select the operating system installed on the laptop and click the View Result button.
