I7 4770k gpu capability

[atomic7431]

I have an AMD 290x which has gone wrong and is being RMAd.

I have the onboard gpu working currently and wonder if its working properly as there is no DX info avaialble and I can not start any basic games as i get an error direct 3d failed to initialize.

Spoiler

does this look normal for an intel 4600 gpu?

Have you switched to integrated graphics in bios and installed the display drivers required for your haswell igpu from the intel site?

Download the drivers from the Intel site.
When I was using my HD4600 I was getting very capable 720p gaming ; Batman Arkham Origins etc.

Make sure you've selected it in BIOS and got the drivers.

Thanks people it is selected in the bios and its the only graphics i have connected right now.
I have downloaded the intel gpu drivers off intels site and off the Gigabyte site to see if it helped but the screen shot i took shows this and shows IMO something doesnt look right?

This is the driver version off the intel site i tried, i even tried letting the auto detect feature pick up what driver it needed and same results.

Also have the intel chipset drivers installed again from gigabyte site and tried from intels site.

Those should be the right drivers.

So after you install the IGPU drivers from Intel and you go into the HD 4600 3D settings, what do you see?

This is the problem there is no settings available, nothing in the tray and nothing on the right click menu off the desktop

I have tried all sorts and i cant get the onboard gpu to work properly, only thing left is a re install of windows, but im getting usb problems as well, still think it motherboard related.

Imaging system now, going to do a quick re install of windows see if it changes any thing, clean slate and all.

Fresh install and the Intel 4600 is now picked up correctly as follows -

Only thing i can think of that has caused this is DDU latest version.

Not tested with a game yet but it is now being picked up as expected so presuming it will work as it was intended now.

Have you checked for a MBoard BIOS update just in case?

 

[atomic7431]

yeah i ended up sending the mobo back and its faulty and i have a replacement coming tomorrow

Those driver uninstallers always bork systems for me - really they should only be used as a last resort when the bundled uninstaller fails.

I remember years ago i used a driver cleaner and it caused problems, used to be on driver heaven as it used to be called.
Only reason i tried it was because of the amount of people recommending it on these forums but i shall avoid in the future for sure.
