Here's how to use AMD switchable graphics. Power Saving will use the chipset, the not so good GPU and High Performance will use the dedicated, or better GPU.
When an application launches which requires the additional power of the high performance AMD graphics card, systems with AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics technology seamlessly switch over to that graphics card, and then turn it off when no longer required.
The switching to the AMD graphics depends on application profiles. If an application has no such profile, you can assign the graphics card manually:
- Right-click your desktop, and select Catalyst Control Center.
- From the Power drop-down menu, select Switchable Graphics.
- Click Browse and navigate to select the program.
- Click Power Saving or High Performance to select the graphics card to use for that specific application.
