i need help with my inspiron 15-5576. I tried to play GTA V on my laptop, and i noticed that it was running slow, even on low graphics, and apparently its using the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated. i don't know how to fix it, I've looked on different forums and even amd has some out of date help. I've tried changing the power plan and graphics settings, but it doesn't seam to show up. on the picture it should show up as rx 560 for the high performance GPU. Even going into the BIOS doesn't help because the display or PCIE options are not there. I read in another forum about amd graphics software having the switchable preferences, but the new Adrenalin software doesn't. All drivers and BIOS updates are up to date.

Does the catalyst control centre still exist on the latest version of adrenalin software? If so then through there you can configure everything you'll ever need

Ah ok, can you check your power plan in the windows settings, it should look something like this if it's set out right (under the advanced settings):

Make sure you set the switchable dynamic settings to maximise performance and then the ATI powerplay settings to maximise performance too
