My friend has recently bought inspiron 7520 (win 8)with radeon 7730 and intel hd4000. Now each and every game which he is running on his laptop runs on intel hd 4000 not on 7730. I've already selected high performance i switchable graphics. Please help. Also see the below links. Many others are facing this problem

Can you try this?
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks/170077-custom-drivers-intel-amd-laptops.html

This worked with my Dell 15R. Try the 13.1 Cat V2.1 drivers and see, its better if you reinstall windows and install this driver fresh.

PS: No guarantee it will work, it worked for me.


BTW, what's with the 'Begging you' man? We're here to help, no need to beg, just ask :)

I chose high perfor,mance in the switchable graphics menu. Didn't work. And so it didn't for many more out there. Check the links bro.

Wait, after installing the default, you right click desktop, select switchable, and when the panel opens, you add the executable and select high performance on them, did you do that?

Yeah bro already did. Now I'm thinking if degrading to win 7. I've downloaded all drivers. But another bone in the neck is that I need to convert GPT partition into MBR :mad: Well what do you suggest??

Got it!! Win 8 was the culprit. installed win 7 and everuthing is working like charm.

Good.

Its not Win 8's fault, AMD enduro has lots of issues, and some of them have not yet been ironed out, like the fact it still doesn't work with my 7670m.

That's with a hardware switch, alienware still uses them, these however are muxless designs, all video data is routed via the internal GPU, the discreet GPU kicks in when needed, just like Lucid Vertu on desktop.
