SB i5 Graphics not 3000?

[aquitania]

When I look at CPU-Z it shows that my Sandy Bridge i5 2500k is running HD 2000 graphics not HD 3000.
Why is this? How can I get the 3000 up and running?

Cheers
Dan

I'm pretty sure it's just a specific case with your CPU. Maybe the person you bought it from will give you a exchange. However, do not rely on Intel's HD graphics. A decent 40 disctrete graphics card will give you more power.

If you truly have a 2500K it would be HD3000. The 2500K and 2600K are the only two desktop CPus with a HD3000 IGP.

Post a screen shot of your CPUZ please.

Don't forget the i3-2105 and i3-2125.

^Ahh I didn't think about those.

 

[aquitania]

Sorry guys, could you tell me how, kinda new to the forum thing
and it's for sure a 2500k

You do a Print Screen, open Paint, do CTRL-V and then save it. Then go to something like imageshack.us , upload the picture and in here you would take the URL from the picture and put it like this:

Of coruse replace what I put inbetween the tags with the URL.

AFAIK cpuz hasn't updated to say hd 3000, but it does show the correct number of shaders so can still tell if you have hd 3000 vs 2000 (12 v 6).

 

[aquitania]

There it is, sorry bought the quality and the windows media player background!

here's another

well its definately a K, and non-K wouldn't OC like that. Nice OC by the way.

Trying backing it off a bit, drop a multiplier and set the bus speed back to 100. the 3000 is 2x 2000 I think, you might have stopped one of them from working? Can't see why CPU-Z would pick it up though.

Strange, I would contact Intel.

 

[Zenthar]

Very strange indeed. Could you try running GPU-Z and give us the results as well?

BTW, ALT+PRINTSCR only takes the active window screenshot

 

[IntelEnthusiast]

Yea that is strange give our technical support a call at 916-377-7000. I have never heard of a Intel® Core™ i5-2500K showing up anything other then the Intel HD 3000 Graphics. Restore the processor to stock speeds before you give technical support a call.

Gave GPU-z a try, here's the result. Doesn't really tell me anything though. All I know about the integrated graphics is that it should be 3000. Anyone have a reference?
and thanks for the Alt hint, that makes things neater!

 

[13thmonkey]

isn't HD 3000 12 shaders and 2000 6 shaders? and GT2 also points to 3000?

 

[aquitania]

I loaded in the "optimized defaults" or whatever they call them. It's still the same.
Here's the computer details though, I probably should've added at the start:

Cpu: i5 2500k
MB: Asus P8Z67-v pro
Mem: 2 x4gb g. skill rip jaw ram
Heat sink/fan: cooler master 212 plus
HDD: WD 500 gb black
case: Antec 100
no discrete GPU for now, waiting for the cash... that's the only reason I care about the intel HD.

 

[k1114]

It is a known issue for cpuz and gpuz, there's still the shader count as I've said.

Searching this forum gets multiple people posting the same thing. And apparently furmark will say hd 3000.
