  1. Can I enable my laptop to use 1 GPU for everything? (Laptop has 2)


    If I go down to taskbar notifications (down by the clock) and right click Catalyst Control Center, I get a "Configure Graphics" and a "Configure Switchable Graphics" option. The configure switchable graphics option takes me to a screen where I can set what App uses what card. The other option takes me to the main CCC page. There are so many settings in there dealing with switchable graphics that I have no idea where you start. The Power Global setting I guess. If I go to Performance > AMD Dual graphics there is a disable option. Indications are though, that locks me into the APU, not the GPU. The green arrow points to APU when I select disable and GPU gets greyed out.

  2. Forgot to mention, device manager lists both adapters under display adapters. It lists "AMD Radeon HD 7660m Series" and "AMD Radeon HD 7660G + HD 7600M Dual Graphics"

  3. The deal with different manufactures is, usually, you need the graphics driver provided by the manufacturer of the PC. They do up a custom driver to handle the two different GPU's. Installing an Intel driver, and then a NVidia driver doesn't work so well. The switchable graphics don't work as intended. Mine being AMD/AMD means I can just install the latest catalyst from right from AMD and it works. I just run what windows update gives me though, which works just fine, switchable graphics too.

    This seemed to work (It's telling me it'll prioritise performance) I'm going to mark this as solved now. Thank you *Smile.
