Usually the laptop will switch to only using the Intel chip if it has no power connection, this can be switched off by going to power settings and changing the power plan to high performance. I'm sure there must be an option for AMD cards too. There is a way with NVIDIA cards to force a specific program to run on either GPU. If you want to know what GPU a game ins running on, just look at its performance, the Intel chip will just fall over. You may notice in some games (Bathesda and Valve titles tend to do this, but I've seen it in several games) under the graphics section it will say it is running on the Intel card, ignore this, these multi-gpu setups confuse games. They will then switch over to using the more powerful GPU when a game or other demanding program starts up. Double-click the Display Adapters list item to expand it. I am by no means an expert on this, but I have set up multi-gpu laptops before, so this is my two cents.īasically, you DON'T Want the AMD card as your primary.īecause GPUs are relatively high power devices, and laptops have batteries, most use the low power Intel chip for basic stuff like browsing the web, of which it is more than capable. Press Windows-X and click Device Manager to view the Device Manager window. Ok, I know this question is old, so you've probably fixed this by now, but I'll answer anyway to help anyone who stumbles upon this.

Or just a way to switch to using it instead of the intel graphics. A yellow exclamation point in device manager means that there is an issue with the device such as missing driver or the driver is not installed correctly. So what this boils down to, is can I make my AMD display adapter my primary one, permanently if need be. My AMD card drivers are up to date using the amd-catalyst-15.7.1-win10-64bit. It just keeps coming back like a virus or something! Also just disabling it didn't seem to do anything either.
Which I tried to do through device manager and through the "Uninstall program" way. I could care less about the the Intel HD graphics and wouldn't mind making it disappear forever. In my laptop I have two display adapters, one is the Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 and the other is an AMD Radeon HD 6630M. 3.5 and the Bios Version is R1031H4 (This bios seems minimal) I'm using a Sony Vaio VPCSA23GX (I've read the articles of delayed driver support for Vaios) With an Intel Core i5-2410M CPU.

You may also need to visit the manufacturer's site if Windows can't find a newer driver version after you click "Update Driver" to try to update it. If you’re using an older laptop, that site might have a newer improved driver that you can download for free.
