What kind of Grahpics card does my HP Pavilion have?

[cooperator]

Hi

Product Name dv6-6093ex

Product Number LM610EA

HP community claim that the graphics card installed on my system is an AMD Radeon HD 6770M (1 GB DDR5).

However, I think that it is an ATI Radeon HD 6770M (1 GB DDR5) since I have noticed  ATI Radeon on the results  when running a hardware reading program:

First:: If my Graphics installed were AMD Radeon HD 6770M, then why The CPU-z program showed me ATI Radeon.

Also, in the existing package in the screen shot below, there is ATI Display Adapter

Second: If my Graphics installed were AMD Radeon HD 6770M, then why The Windows 8 Upgrade assistnat program showed me ATI Catalyst Control Center

@cooperator ,

Hello and welcome back to the HP support forums.  I would like to help you out here but I would need for your question to be a little more direct.

Are you asking do you have an ATI radeon graphics controller? 

Here is your service and user guide link it will show you what you have and as well as your spec page.

These links contain  all the answers you will need.

I hope this helps.

Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

Thanks a lot,

I think that my question has been  far too much more direct to be rephrased again.

However, I would be saying that I have that document called 'HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC Product Specifications'. And yes, my Graphics Card is AMD Radeon HD 6770M (1 GB DDR5). in that document.

Yes, I've been asking about  if I have an ATI OR AMD radeon graphics controller?

 If you could  have seen my screen shots well,  you would understand me well since you would be seeing there were no thing mentioned about AMD Radeon, however, ATI Radeon is mentioned.???( I have resored my System from HP Factory Partition to be quite sure that all drivers, and application software are the original HP ones.

However, as said before, I think that it is an ATI Radeon HD 6770M (1 GB DDR5) since I have noticed ATI Radeon on the results when running a hardware reading program called CPU-Z.

First:: If my Graphics installed was AMD Radeon HD 6770M, then why would the CPU-z program show me 'ATI Radeon.' as shown in the screen shot below, instead of 'AMD Radeon'.(Please see the arrow in the screen shot below)

 

Also, in the existing installed package in the screen shot below, there is 'ATI Display Adapter'

This screen shots for Integrated GUP(Intle):

Second:  Also, If my Graphics installed were AMD Radeon HD 6770M, then why The Windows 8 Upgrade assistnat program showed me "ATI Catalyst Control Center" in the program might need to be reinstalled when I upgrade from Windows 7 into Windows 8. I have not thing about ATI as you claim, then why I have seen ATI in many places, such as this one'ATI Catalyst Control Center' which Windows 8 showed me

@cooperator ,

Thank you for posting back.  I can not comment on what a 3rd party program is showing.  What i can tell you is if you look into the device manager and open up the question hard ware.  You will see what is detected.  As well you will find the supported drivers and software for the notebook on the HP support page for your system.

Sorry for any confusion on asking for any clarification.

Have a great day and thank you for posting

Thanks a lot,

Yes, I think that Manufacturer is 'ATI' which is the company making the AMD Redeon Graphics.

Could you please reply to me to finish this post and mark it as solved?

@cooperator ,

Hello and thank you for posting back.  I am sorry I didnt realise that you where not aware of AMD being the parent company of ATI. 

AMD bought out ATI.

This was done almost ten years ago here are some links to this information.

AMD buying ATI for $5.4 billion

Products We Design

AMD Radeon™ R5 Series Graphics

So depending on what was burned into the chip when it was built it could say the old school ATI lable or it could have the parent brand AMD.  bottom line is that when you are working with your system you will want to run the supported graphics drivers that are provided by HP for the best response.

I hope this clears things up finally for you.  Have a great day.

Hi,

That is good idea. Thanks a lot,

Then you think this is why I am keeping seeing ATI on the hardware-reading software. CPUZ.

@cooperator ,

Thank you again for posting back.  I think what is happening is that the 3rd party software that is showing the ATI graphics is using some kind of preset code that looks for certain identification in the chips.  Basically what it was designed to do is if you see Chip Identification "A" it is a graphics card. If you see Chip Identification "B" it is a sound card. 

Then when it determines what kind of hard ware it matches a second set of information.  So if it sees "C" this must be "Intel"  If you see "D" you see ATI.  And this is probably based on some older information that was used when creating the software.

Now that AMD owns ATI they still use the ATI design presets so the software sees this and marks it as an ATI Chip.  Even though it is AMD.

I hope this was helpfull.  Have a great day and thank you again for posting.

Thanks a lot,

I really have used another hardware-reading software, and it explicitly showed me :

ATI Radeon, and it didn't show me ADM Radeon.
