A message keeps popping up says that the game can't recognize my graphic card. I installed Windows because I wanted to play Sims 3, but the game is dark and lags all the time. My screen doesn't go black, but other things go dark (and text and apps are very, very small).Īnother thing that concerns me is that neither my Nvidia Geforce 650M or intel hd 4000 are visible in my Device Manager's Display Adapter.

I have issue like this as well, but still not quite like it. wish there was a better/more reliable solution. i avoided getting one of the Iris Pro MBPs because of the cost and non-upgradability but this isn't a much better situation either.Īnyway, just saying that i'm in the same boat as everybody else. it's not a primary machine or install, but it really irks me nonetheless. still have no sound either, but at this point i'm giving up. then sometime later i had the occasion/need to get the Nvidia 650m working in Windows, and like doofus i went to Nvidia's site and downloaded the driver which black-screened just after starting installation.Īfter agonizing hours recovering from that (basically trying to time the F8 Boot menu keystroke on startup when booting it (it's on an SSD), but not impossible to do - just really really tricky), i removed the driver files, then i went and downloaded the latest BootCamp version mentioned previously, which then also black screened during install.Īfter several more agonizing hours recovering and wiping every trace of that previous driver install via Regedit and other tools, i tried installing the older Bootcamp, that at least didn't black screen but the NVIDIA driver failed install (refused) even doing it manually after the fact. the install was previously BIOS based using Windows 7 and then upgraded to version 8.1 and transferred uisng Winclone to a external EFI boot drive, which boots fine. I think i am also in the same boat (mid 2012 rMBP 15' with Intel4000/650M).
