Graphics Card Problem

[AngusFitz32]

Hey, I'm having some trouble with switching from my integrated graphics on my laptop to the graphics card I want to be using. My laptop is currently using Intel® HD Graphics 4000 when the card I want it to be using is the AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series. I'm currently running windows 8.1 and all my card drivers are up to date. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Newest drivers? 

It should switch automatically, make sure skyrim is full screen.

Isn't there an option when you right click on the shorcut of the game that says run with amd graphics.

You can also disable the intel one.

U can do that but it is configured that way to lower energy consumption...why change it mate when it automatically switches to dedicated when needed...

What is your laptop model?

What is your laptop model?

HP Pavilion G6

Make sure you have the power cord plugged in and set your laptop to high performance mode in battery management,

I believe there's an option in the Catalyst control centre to disable the Intel card.

Try disabling the intel driver so the Amd is the only one that is left.
