HD 4200 series amd

[slynks]

Hi, i just wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas if the ati catalyst 13.9 is rly the newest driver for this card? Or is there another one. Amd site suggest 13.9 though. Rly want to keep playing Fallout 4, but im 99% sure that its my graphic drivers fault, that my game isnt as smooth, it stutters.
Thank you.

Thank you for the info, didnt know its intel. So ill start googleing again to find a solution.

Hmm, maybe anyone has any ideas how to make sure that the PC changes correctly between those 2 graphic cards?

I cant say anything more specific but when you go into your gpu controlpanel there should be a way to force the computer to run your main card always

Yes, amd has a detecting app, it says 13.9 is the freshest driver for me, but actually the newest is 16.1, but not for my graphics card. But i rly think that 13.9 isnt the newest, maybe there is like 14.4 etc etc. And also cant get catalyst prog to work with 13.9.

doesn't matter. 13.9 is the last version that supported that old crusty series. nothing newer is going to work with it, period.

Well, one this is going to be the graphics card, so it isn't the game, but will be no doubt the card. Me? I am useing a Vision Tek 6450 1gig card on the game and its working fine for what I need to play. The game requierments for the card is what you really need, the requeriments isn't a suggestion, its what you must have or tech support will not help you. You could try this, and see if this works, some lines I had to put in, some lines exsisted so I just adjusted... The only thing I do not get is the lock picking screen, but no matter how I adjusted, its the one screen I can not get... with over 100 hours Everything else is fine..

For my card In the FO4ini file under display I put this in/adjusted or double checked..

iLocation Y=5
iLocation X=5
bFull Screen=1
bNvGodraysEnable=0
iSize W=800
iSize H=600
bIgnoreResolutionCheck=0
fSAORadius=0 ;108.2
fSAOBias=0 ;0.6
fSAOIntensity=0 ;7.1

in the FO4prefsini file under display I put this in/adjusted or double checked..

iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=1024
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=2048
iShadowSplitCount=2
iShadowMapResolution=1024
iVolumetricLightingQuality=0
bVolumetricLightingEnable=0
bVolumetricLightingForceCasters=0
bTopMostWindow=0
bMaximizeWindow=0
bBorderless=1
iNPatchNOrder=0
iNPatches=0
iLocation Y=5
iLocation X=5
bFull Screen=1
iSize W=800
iSize H=600
bIgnoreResolutionCheck=0

This help make it work better for me because I am limited on my cards Core clock which is 625Mhz and the memory clock which is 667Mhz. So the lag I do get at times is pending on location is understandable considering my card. Now I am not going to say this is going to work best for you. My card may be 1gig mem but this vision tek card has the ability to expand memory useage from 1gig to 10. Now I have a 4350 Vision Tek 512mb card, but even though it can expand to 1gig, it would never run this game worth playing...

Good luck...

So basicly this is a intergrated video on a laptop? Because I can not find a listing of this card as in pci express card. And you have just 4200 series is all you have listed. No matter the upgrade of the catylisty is not going to matter pending of the limitation of the video unit. A lot rides on what type of card you have.. is it a Radeon 4255? MSI Radeon 4250? Dimond Radeon 4250? Vision Tek Radeon 4250?

Not all cards are equal, and it being a 4200 series, I am guessing its only 512mb, maybe expandable to 1gig, and in this game you need atlest 2gigs. I am sound thinking, the 4200 series is the problem, is not enough..

[slynks]

1 card is ati mobility radeon hd 4200 series
2 card is amd radeon 6600m and 6700m series.
But you are missing the point, the prob is that the PC doesnt change from using hd4200 to using 6600m, 6600m handles this game somehow.

Yet another person who cannot be bothered with reading even the first page of posts...

You also need to start reading better and paying attention to the info given.

You have a laptop with daul graphics, meaning an Integrated INTEL HD4200 with a dedicated AMD Radeon HD6600/6700m (not both a 6600 and 6700, either or).

You are correct that your main issue is the IGP not hanind off nice to the dedicated card. I would offer advice on that specific issue, but I have never owned a dual graphics Laptop. My knowledge of them is limmited to the "i know what they are, how they are suposed to work, and what their most common failure is" area. This is their most common failure.
