7970m & Intel HD 4000

[mercilesskiller]

Hi All,

Just got the P170EM Laptop with the 7970m within. Installed Windows 8 and the latest Enduro drivers.

In device manager its showing 2 devices, the 7970m and the Intel HD one. I believe this means its operating in the basic Intel mode. If I run a game will it automatically switch to the 7970m ONLY mode? If so, how can I verify this

Thanks All!

Hey - Looked in the BIOS and doesnt look like you can disable on board graphics.

Just ran counter-strike GO on all high settings and got 5fps. Looks like the Radeon isn't getting enabled. Any ideas?

I'm not sure where to look in CCC but not sure where to look. If I right click on CCC from the bottom right it just has:

1. Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000

and no other adapters. In device manager there is the Radeon adapter however.

And yes CS GO was full screen

Just installed the Enduro driver latest that came out this week. Restarted, and now it seems to be working! Odd

The only other problem I have is I can't get the bloody hotkey app to work so can't change the backlite to the keyboard
