Acer :: SiS M760GX Integrated Graphics In Aspire 5002LMi
Dec 13, 2007
The one component of my Acer Aspire 5002LMi notebook that defies upgrade is the SiS M760GX integrated graphics. Otherwise, I've been very happy with the unit. Processor, hard drive and ram upgrades were easy. Is anyone aware of any tweeks that can be done to get the most out of this weak integrated graphics platform? Suggestions appreciated as I intend to keep the unit in service for a long time using XP Pro since the graphic won't handle Vista. Obviously, not a gaming machine but it will handle some older games.
Acer Aspire 5002 LMi: AMD Turion ML 37; Hitachi 80 gb 7200 rpm drive; 2 gb pc2700 DDR ram; Lugano M motherboard with SiS M760GX integrated graphics

Acer Aspire 3830TG-6494 crashes while gaming.
Crash symptoms:
-happens anywhere from within the first 15 minutes to several hours into a game (no link to graphic quality settings). No loss in performance leading up to the crash.
-screen glitches and goes black, with a brief buzzing sound. Power remains on and fan is still running, forcing a hard reset.
-Occasionally the sceen will freeze, ~1cm horizontal green lines will appear all over and a loud buzzing sound is emitted from the speakers until a hard reset.
-Rarely I get a BSOD or the computer will shut down and restart itself. Resulting DMP files show no consistent suspected cause.
-Crash will occasionally be preceded by certain in-game sounds cutting out. But not always.
-The only link between crashes is that I'm usually thinking a solution worked right before the crash. (Frustrating!)
-System will occasionally crash while watching videos or something, but only crashes consistently while gaming.
I have tried the following:
-Running games using only the integrated graphics or nVidia GeForce GT 540M GPU.
-Underclocking either the GPU(500MHz and 700MHz, from 672MHz and 900MHz), the CPU (seting max 70% power plan), and both simultaneously.
-Temperatures do not exceed 70C under heavy use, and crash does not seem to be linked to any temperature increases.
-Run both Windows 7 memory diagnostic and memtest86 (no problems found)
-Run intel CPU diagnostics and intel XTU benchmark which did not cause a crash.
-Upgrading all drivers to latest versions, as well as rolling them back to the versions recommended on acer download website. (Completely uninstalling graphics drivers before re-installing different versions) And making sure windows update was not automatically installing driver updates.
-upgrading BIOS to v1.12, it was stable for a weekend then went back to crashing.
-The system seems to be more stable in power saver or balance mode, but not by much. I also suspected the Ac power adapter because it didn't seem to crash on battery for a brief time. But I was wrong and it did end up crashing whether plugged in or not.
Aand cleaning it out w/ compressed air, obviously ... I don't game often, and usually play older games on lower quality settings. I'm not overclocking or streaming at the same time.

I'll be buying an XPS M1330 soon. The only option I'm still confused on is the graphics card. I'm not a gamer and battery life is important to me as I'm on the road every week for work. However, with Vista now - which I have no experience with - is it true that you need a discrete graphics card to efficiently run Vista (and I guess certain options such as Aero).
Specifically, my questions are:
1. Will an integrated graphics card impair the ability to use Vista in any way and, if so, how?
2. What's the difference in battery life when using a dedicated vs integrated graphics card? I.e., how much extra battery life will I gain by choosing integrated?
3. Will an integrated graphics card cause my system to just not operate as efficiently in general - just every day navigating even - since Vista relies so heavily on graphics? And, if so, how does any inefficiency manifest itself? Slower time bringing up screens? Computer running hot because of a strain using graphics?

I guess the first thing is, do I even have an integrated mic? My other Acer did, so I figured this one did being as it has the webcam. If it does, why is it not working? No, this is not a new laptop still under warranty. Previous owner is unreachable to ask. I have redownloaded realtek driver and still all it comes up with when I check out the devices is that the mic is uplugged? I am soooo confused. I LOVE my Acer, but am not feeling the love back at the moment.

For maximum battery life, can the Z run full 1080p Bluray on the integrated graphics card and not use the 'external' graphics card? This is query for both old and new Z.

I actually want the Intel Integrated graphics for the dv7t. This was offered a couple months ago but now the only options are for NVidia chips. Will the integrated graphics ever come back or are they gone for good?
Also, what happened to the regular edition dv5t? The special edition is nice and all, but I don't care about the fancy case. Are the new low-resolution 16:9 laptops taking over completely?

I have just recently purchased an HP 17-e049wm. This laptop has the AMD Radeon HD8650G integrated graphics with up to 4206MB of total memory. I understand that this graphics "card" uses the onboard memory to act as video memory. How can I increase or decrease the amount of memory allocated to the graphics? I don't seem to be able to make any changes from the BIOS. Is this something that adjusts automatically?

I have VGA and also HDMI cables.
How do I set it so that GT 650M is the main one and has it shown on dxdiag? Is that setup to be done in BIOS or can I do it on the desktop?

I have been speculating over this prospect giving the direction that Apple took with the starting price of the 24" iMac (upgrade everything else and downgrade the VRAM).
I mean, this is something I would like to see, but I wonder if it is a smart move on Apple's part given how much they make off the current MBP's with the so called Apple Tax.
And, if they made this move, one has to wonder if it still would be considered a Pro.

Acer Specs...(purchased in 2006)
Acer Aspire 5112WLMi
Turion 64 X2 @ 1.66 GHz and 521kb Level 2 Cache (the TL50 Processor)
ATi X1600 card with 128 dedicated and 512 (shared) total graphics mb.
This 'top' worked flawlessly for a year or so, meaning... I played fps games on high configs... but lately, i've been having some graphic issues...
The game runs fine for about 15 min and then suddenly the frame rate decreases to 1 or even 0.5...this continues for 20 seconds and then normal frame rates resume for about 5 min... and then the process repeats... the vent heats up like crazy...
Now I do own a PS3 and an XBox 360, but sometimes I do prefer classic games(meaning 2006-07) on good old faithful...

I've just got a 5920-6A3G16Mi. It has the Intel GMA X3100. All is good with this.
I've just been doing a little vista tweaking and noticed some NVIDIA stuff on startup.
What are these for. As far as i'm aware i have no NVIDIA hardware. Are these essential (I'm thinking not).
I've enclosed 2 pics of the offending items:

I bought my laptop last year around christmas time. Surprisingly the nvidia 7000m performed very well. I was able to run Gothic 3 on low specs, and also fallout 3 which ran well on medium specs. But about 3-5 months ago the performance deteriorated a lot. it got so bad that i cant even watch movies on it anymore. All the framerates, on games it ran fairly well before, are unplayable now. I just hope i didnt fry the gpu because it did overheat before, but i just thought it was normal. Ofcourse if i new about this forum before none of that might have happened. There many useful posts here...

I purchased an Acer Aspire 5100 using it mostly for busines and writing. Now, I'd like to watch some videos, have an webcam, and play games, however, the integrated video card handles none of this well. It's slow and will sputter on something as simple as a short 60 second video clip.
I maxed out the 4GB Ram, thinking that Vista was using too much but it did not help.
Then I discovered this:
Quote:
For gaming, the graphics speed is enhanced care of the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100graphics card, with 128 MB dedicated memory. The card can tap into an additional 384 MB from shared system memory, for a total of 512 MB.
I did some research and found that I could go into the BIOS and change the memory from 128 to 512. I tried it, found the setting, changed it, and thought I'd find success. However, Vista somehow read these actions as an error and a failure to start, and would not start........................

if it's possible to upgrade my laptop's graphics, because I'm attempting to play a few games on it, and it runs them sooo slow. I don't think the Processor or RAM are an issue, but surely the GFX card is. Another thought I had was maybe upgrading my RAM to 2 GB, which could possibly give it a boost because I think my vid card draws some memory from the system?

I've got an Acer Aspire 5315 with the Mobile Intel GMA X3100 in it as standard on the motherboard. Granted this isnt a great card for a lot of (or any) modern games, but I was wondering if it's possible to have another (better) graphics card put in it?..
Maybe a better processor too, because its got a Celeron 550, but the graphics card is priority at the mo.

This is my Aspire opened up
This is a close up where you can see that we can paste a MXM socket (230 pin's)
Now, if I paste a MXM soket it would look like this
But...
If I introduce a graphic card into this new port added by "me". Will my software recognice it?
The bios an windows can sopport it?
I know problems about heat (can be solved) but the important thing is the bios recognition and how to disable x3100 default integrated graphics right?

* Can the video be upgraded with the addition of a dedicated graphics card?
* Does it have a PCI-e slot of any kind for this?
I looked around and found some disassembly instructions, and even poked briefly inside myself but not seeing anything that specifically resembles anything like my previous Inspiron 9300 had as far as slots go.

I have an Acer Aspire 5585WXMi laptop, approx. 2 yrs old purchased in Singapore. It came with Intel's standard Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and I was wondering if there was any possibility of upgrading to the NVidia GPU? When I purchased the laptop I could have paid a little bit extra for the NVidia add-on but decided against (regretting now) so as far as I can tell it should be possible to add on the GPU module?

I have an Acer Aspire 7520 that is 2 years old, the system specs are:
- AMD Athlon 1.8GHz Dual Core.
- 17" WXGA+ CrystalBrite LCD.
- 4 GB DDR2.
- 500 GB HDD.
- NVIDIA GeForce 7000M.
It worked fine for a year but starting the second year, the sound card started to fail, and by that I mean that the sound sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't, but I solved this problem by buying an external sound card.
Two months ago I accidentally hit the laptop in the wall and after that incident the Graphics card can't process anything that requires high or medium graphics for example:
-When I play 720p videos the video runs very slow, it should be noted that I used to play 720p withouth any problem before the accident.
-The Windows Experience Index for Graphics went from 3.4 to 2.0 after the accident.
-Games that used to run at 30-40 FPS, now run at 2 - 3 FPS max.
- Windows AERO runs very slow now, so I if I want to use windows I have to run Windows Classic theme.
Things I've done:
1) Format my PC and tried different OSs XP, 7.
2) Flash the BIOS.
3) Change the Hard Drive with another one.
4) Change the RAM.
None of these things worked.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?
- screen went bad?
- Graphics card went bad?
or ?
