    No "graphics boost" in eDrawings 2014 with FirePro W5000

    I may have answered my own question; there's a key in the registry that can be toggled (set to 0) to turn off software rendering in eDrawings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eDrawings\e2014\General\Software OpenGL

    No "graphics boost" in eDrawings 2014 with FirePro W5000

    This setting is greyed out in eDrawings. I recall having this same issue with my Radeon HD5770. For that one I tweaked a setting in Catalyst that enabled eDrawings to allow that option. With a SolidWorks-approved professional GPU and Catalyst Pro, I'd assume that "graphics boost" would be...

    HPE-510t does not boot with AMD FirePro W5000 (Windows 8.1)

    ...welcome, Gigabyte. I installed a new motherboard this morning (Gigabyte H77M-D3H), and everything's working well now. The installation was fairly easy (about 90 minutes); here are the only non-plug-and-play portions of the process: 1. Verified front panel power switch/indicator header with...

    HPE-510t does not boot with AMD FirePro W5000 (Windows 8.1)

    I finally was able to boot into BIOS with my old card, but only with the DVI-D cable. There were no UEFI features available. The card works in my computer at work (ASUS P8P67) with a DVI-D cable. HP has no BIOS update past AMI 7.15 (10/13/2011). The computer was purchased new in 2011 with...

    HPE-510t does not boot with AMD FirePro W5000 (Windows 8.1)

    However, ever since I installed Windows 8, I can't get into my BIOS to check. I tried F1, F8, F10, Advanced Options...which doesn't provide me with any UEFI BIOS anything. How does one access their BIOS on a HPE-510t with Windows 8 installed? I used to be able to get to BIOS. I downloaded...

    HPE-510t does not boot with AMD FirePro W5000 (Windows 8.1)

    Thanks, Ken! Long-time reader, first-time poster. I have the latest BIOS; it goes back a ways: Windows 7 x64: 2011-12-21 , Version 7.15 Rev. A, 3.02M Windows 8 x64: none I've heard of Secure Boot issues with this card, but since HP didn't post a UEFI BIOS update for my machine, I...

    HPE-510t does not boot with AMD FirePro W5000 (Windows 8.1)

    I just purchased an AMD FirePro W5000 (TDP = 75 W) to replace my nVidia Quadro 600 (TDP = 40 W) in my 2011 HPE-510t (i7-2600, 12 GB RAM). Dell U2913WM monitor. My machine will not start with the new card inserted. I upgraded the stock 300 W power supply to a 450 W Antec VP450F, but that didn't...
