    How do I know if my additional graphics card (AMD Radeon R9 M265X) is actually doing any work?


    Hello,

    My laptop seems to have 2 graphics cards (one as part of the Intel CPU I believe, and a second one by AMD).

    How do I know if my additional graphics card (AMD Radeon R9 M265X with 2Gb dedicated memory) is actually doing any work?

    How can I know if it is functioning ok?

    The fan in the laptop is often running very fast, so I wonder if there is a problem.

    Thanks.


    For background info, my laptop was bought in June 2015. The spec is:

    - Toshiba Satellite L70-B-130 installed originally with Windows 8 (I immediately upgraded to windows 10 when I bought it).

    - Intel i7-4710HQ quad-core 2.5GHz

    - 8Gb RAM

    - Intel HD Graphics 4600

    - AMD Radeon R9 M265X (with 2Gb dedicated memory)

    - It was bought in Luxembourg, settings and control panels comes up in English (as selected during this latest reinstall), and it has a “Belgian (Period)” azerty keyboard.

    :)

    AMD Radeon R9 380X


    (For those thinking of getting an upgrade for 1080p gaming this Christmas... How do I know if my additional graphics card (AMD Radeon R9 M265X) is actually doing any work? :) )

    AMD Radeon R9 380X review feat. Sapphire: The best graphics card for 1080p gaming, priced to fight

    AMD's Radeon R9 380X fills a gaping hole in the world of graphics cards, and it's competitively priced, too.


    With the launch of the new Radeon R9 380X, AMD’s stepping up to fill a massive hole in the graphics card universe, between the “it’s solid for most games at 1080p” Radeon R9 380 / GeForce GTX 960 tier at roughly $200, and the “This rocks for 1440/high” R9 390 / GTX 970 at roughly $300.

    AMD Radeon R9 M265X. Software issue. Windows 10

    I've finally found a solution!

    For people encountering the same issue, here's what I've did:

    - Removed Windows.old folder using Disk Cleanup

    - Used DDU to remove all the software related to my AMD graphics card

    - Downloaded the latest version from AMD website.

    So, that's what I have now:

    Driver's name and version as shown in Device Manager: AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series 16.200.1025.0

    Radeon Software version: 16.6.1

    Everything is working fine now.

    AMD Radeon R9 M265X. Software issue. Windows 10

    General information about my laptop:

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P55-B5162

    Operating system: Windows 10

    Display adapters as shown in Device Manager: AMD Radeon R9 M265X and Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600



    Problem description:

    My laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8.1. Everything was functioning properly. I had the graphics card driver installed as well as the Catalyst Control Center. Then, I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 choosing the option to keep all the files and settings.



    After the upgrade, the graphics card driver was installed correctly. However, the CCC is not working. It's only found in C:\\Windows.old\. (Not showing in Control Panel - Programs.) It's clear that I cannot switch the graphics and I can't use the AMD software.



    I emailed the issue to AMD support. They advised me to use DDU to uninstall everything related to my AMD graphics card and then make a clean install. They recommended me to contact my manufacturer for the needed software.



    I downloaded DDU and chose to delete the driver and everything related to my graphics card from C:\\. However, after the restart, I noticed that the CCC is still present in Windows.old, but the driver was deleted. After that, Windows - through Update Center
    - automatically downloaded for me the missing driver. So, I did nothing...



    I contacted Toshiba and explained for them the issue. They didn't provide for me the needed support for free. Also, on their Support website I didn't find everything related to the AMD software, only the driver, which I already have.



    So, I hope you can help in finding the best solution to my issue. In two words, I want to be able to use the software for my AMD graphics card on Windows 10. Also, do you think I must delete everything related to AMD from Windows.old. If yes, please, explain
    how?



    Thank you.
