please check this driver.

I have returned win 7 back. and i have a g62-b16st with hd5470 and hd3000 graphics. If anybody tries this driver and it works, i'll install win8 again.

Please check this driver and share your experience. 😄

In fact, you should check whether your hardware IDs exist in the driver's INF file. If they exist, you can surely install the driver successfully, "try" is not needed.

How do you check the inf file? Thanks in advance!

As this:

In this picture you can see that the Line 119 matchs the Hardware ID which is displayed on the right, that is "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6760&SUBSYS_166E103C", so this driver will surely work if I upgrade my OS to Windows 8.

Good stuff. Thanks!

Thanks for your attention my graphic card id is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68E0&SUBSYS_143A103C but i cant find in the inf file. So, i cant use this package for my computer. Win 8 is just a dream for me 😄 I can use it on my old ASUS laptop. No problem occurs. but the switchable graphics is the main problem.

Just saying, Lenovo released drivers for Win 8 + switchable graphics today.

The worst thing is that topics concerning Win 8 + switchable graphics are being ignored by HP experts. Not even one of them wrote sth like: "We know about the situation and we are sorry for inconveniences. We can assure you all that by <for example> 15th September you will get proper drivers."

totally agree with what you wrote ...

Mr Ashkan, I had an e-mail from microsoft stating windows 8 enterprise has finally been released for trial, that's official as it's the final release, I guess microsoft know better, wouldn't you say so ?

I am actually waiting for a response from HP on the subject. Experts with green avatars are not HP employees. We certainly cannot promise anything on HP's behalf.

I didn't jump into the fray because I had nothing to add on the subject at the time.

Frankly speaking, I did not feel like getting flamed for not knowing how to help owners of the switchable graphics notebooks. We ll know that the anonymity of the internet tends to give some people the courage to behave as brutal as children with only the slightest reason that may be  only perceived by them. 😉

  I am currently doing some experimentation with my loaner HP Envy17-3002ea notebook and Windows 8 Pro x64 (Technet edition). After I am done, I will post the results here in this thread. The loaner notebook does have  switchable graphics.

Now I gave them my specs and card types, so who knows where this one came from.
