Back to school!!
Hey guys, now, a lot of you(and me) has recently purchased intel cpu+amd gpu based laptops but don't get the driver support from our manufacturers, if we somehow manage to install mobility from amd, we end up losing switchable, so we go the custom way, presenting you Leshcatlabs UniFL drivers for intel+AMD laptops:
First, go through this manual thoroughly:
UnifL Manual
Then: Download the latest whql:
Leshcat
This guy is so fast he even has Catalyst 13.2 Beta 5 available as well:
*leshcatlabs.net/index.php/2013/02/leshcats-catalyst-13-2-beta-5-unifl-public-testing/
Recommended to go with WHQL.
While installing, if you have ivy bridge(3rd generation intel cpu) use modern intel driver, else if you have sandy or older go for legacy drivers.
These work 100% on my Dell 15R N5520 with i3(HD4000)+7670m, tested with AC3, ran flawlessly, switching is done seamlessly and best of all inbuilt profiles pick the GPU even for high performance apps for which a decision has not been made, I checked switchable using GPU caps viewer and HWInfo64, during games the GPU clock speed got doubled and temps also rose to ~55c and in AC3 I got pretty good frames, recommended you try this out once and see the change for yourself, also powerplay works just fine, in battery mode my GPU clockspeed is bound to 400MHz instead of the max 600MHz which is reserved for plugged in mode(user choice)
The manual should answer all questions, but if you get stuck I'm here
PS: Even Anandtech promotes his drivers: *www.anandtech.com/show/6689/addendum-regarding-amds-mobility-catalyst-131-drivers
