Theproblem I have is as follows:I connected the graphics card to one monitor first with DVI and a second one through a DisplayPort to DVI adapter.The computer has a Standard VGA adapter and an Intel Graphics HD card embedded, and when I connected the second monitor it worked, but it was duplicated. Going to the monitor settings there was not possibility to have a second monitor detected, albeit the output was there on both the monitors, in the sense that it was exactly duplicated.My OS is Windows 7 Professional, if it may help.

Actually the computer was a friends' one and the problem was so simple: I don't get why, in fact the drivers of the Graphics card, ATI FirePro v4800 HD or so, was not installed and it seems that the default one provided by Windows doesn't let you extend the display.


What i need help with, is display drivers. I installed the RTX 3050 Ti driver using NVCleanInstall (which lets you add support for other hardware IDs) and also installed the AMD Radeon Graphics APU driver (thanks to this source: [Solution] Win 7/Win8.1 x64 Ryzen APU Video driver )


I have an issue for a long time on my Acer Spin 5 SP515 laptop, with NVIDIA GeForce 1050 dedicated video card along with integrated Intel UHD 620 video card on Windows 7. I thought this comes from the Intel video driver, but I tested a lot and found out that when I disable the dedicated NVIDIA card problem goes away. I simply get black screen at various moments, I think when the dedicated video card needs to be used for extra acceleration.

Since all your reported graphics driver problems seem to be caused by the combination of 2 active graphics adapters (1 iGPU as part of the processor and 1 external graphics card) and hopefully may be solved by a very similar procedure, I have merged your posts and gave the thread a short, but meaningful title.

If it should turn out, that each reported problem needs its own specific solution, please let me know it. Then I will split the thread again according to your demand.

Good luck!


I have developed a small card game like Spider Solitaire. I want to deploy for lower configuration devices with inbuild VGA. Problem is my game running properly with updated system but running very slow on lower configuration devices. animation running really slow. Mainly those system where Standard VGA graphics adapter is installed. Devices have 4GB RAM, P4 Processor, Intel 915 Chipset. I want a solution to rum my game on these lower configuration devices.


The performance of that driver is abysmal even on potent hardware, it only exists for the user to boot up into Windows and be able to see something on the screen. Usually to be able to download and install a proper graphics card driver. The VGA driver will never run any game at adequate speed.


This system may have a GPU on the motherboard (I cannot remember P4 ever having built in GPUs) for which you should try to locate and install a driver. The GPU may be an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 on the MoBo though - just a hunch but if true, it will still not perform well.


Thank you for the answer. Yes, the GPU is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and I want to deploy on this low-end graphics. My game is really small and there is no huge animation. Please suggest if there is any way to make it work, by reducing framerate or quality etc.?


It may be better to find a way to detect whether the system is running the default VGA driver and in that case, print a message alerting the user to performance issues and advise to update or install a graphics driver.

OpenGL is an industry standard 3D graphics API. OpenGL 4.1 or later is required to run CityEngine 2022.0. For more information, refer to the CityEngine system requirements. OpenGL drivers are usually installed together with the rest of the graphics driver and support software (such as DirectX).


Should you encounter a scenario wherein your system fails to detect the graphics card, such as when the graphics card is absent in the Device Manager or only displays the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, kindly refer to the ensuing common troubleshooting methods.


For users employing gaming laptops or desktop computers, it is advisable to inspect the graphics card mode settings within the Armoury Crate application (Armoury Crate > Device > GPU Power Saving > GPU Mode).


Note: For notebook models TP420IA and UX425IA, do not remove the power adapter; perform CMOS clear with the adapter connected. If you're unsure about your computer's exact model, refer to this article: How to find your computer model.


After restoring the BIOS to its default state, if the graphics card remains undetected within the BIOS settings screen, it is likely a hardware issue. We recommend seeking an assessment at an ASUS-authorized service center.


If the issue started recently and you have previously created a system restore point or if the system has created an automatic restore point, you can try restoring the system to a point in time before the issue occurred. Learn more about How to restore the system from a created system restore point.


If all troubleshooting steps have been completed but the issue persists, back up your personal files and perform a system restore to return your device to its original configuration. Learn more: How to Restore (Reinstall) the System.


VGA was the last IBM graphics standard to which the majority of IBM PC compatible computer manufacturers conformed, making it the lowest common denominator that virtually all post-1990 PC graphics hardware can be expected to implement.[6]


VGA was adapted into many extended forms by third parties, collectively known as Super VGA,[7] then gave way to custom graphics processing units which, in addition to their proprietary interfaces and capabilities, continue to implement common VGA graphics modes and interfaces to the present day.


The color palette random access memory (RAM) and its corresponding digital-to-analog converter (DAC) were integrated into one chip (the RAMDAC) and the cathode-ray tube controller (CRTC) was integrated into a main VGA chip, which eliminated several other chips in previous graphics adapters, so VGA only additionally required external video RAM and timing crystals.[9][10]


Unlike the graphics adapters that preceded it (MDA, CGA, EGA and many third-party options) there was initially no discrete VGA card released by IBM. The first commercial implementation of VGA was a built-in component of the IBM PS/2, in which it was accompanied by 256 KB of video RAM, and a new DE-15 connector replacing the DE-9 used by previous graphics adapters. IBM later released the standalone IBM PS/2 Display Adapter, which utilized the VGA but could be added to machines that did not have it built in.[12][11]


Unlike the cards that preceded it, which used binary TTL signals to interface with a monitor (and also composite, in the case of the CGA), the VGA introduced a video interface using pure analog RGB signals, with a range of 0.7 volts peak-to-peak max. In conjunction with a 18-bit RAMDAC (6-bit per RGB channel), this produced a color gamut of 262,144 colors.[15][16][17][18]


All derived VGA timings (i.e. those which use the master 25.175 and 28.322 MHz crystals and, to a lesser extent, the nominal 31.469 kHz line rate) can be varied by software that bypasses the VGA firmware interface and communicates directly with the VGA hardware, as many MS-DOS based games did. However, only the standard modes, or modes that at least use almost exactly the same H-sync and V-sync timings as one of the standard modes, can be expected to work with the original late-1980s and early-1990s VGA monitors. The use of other timings may in fact damage such monitors and thus was usually avoided by software publishers.
