Hello,

I have about 4 gigs of ram, core i5 its a "Dell Inspiron 7520 Special Edition" Laptop, the graphics card and other details are right below:

Its really annoying, sometimes you can't even see the enemies in a dark area.
This laptop has switchable graphics and uses the amd card when the game is launched.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I have the latest drivers for my GPU.

I know switching to Direct 9 fixes the problem for the vast majority of users, but your chip is direct 11. Still worth a shot.

Plan B: Update integrity of game files on Uplay. Steam has something similar. This solved the problem for my playthrough.

I have HD 8870M with same problems,i have newest drivers,also tried DELL drivers, i can play anything such as Crysis 3 ,BF 4 in med/high settings with no problem ,Far Cry 3 runs also great on high settings but i get those "boxes"

How do you enable the GPU manually, I dont understand this..? tried switching it from menu when it starts dxdiag to high performance but doesnt work..it still sees only the integrated Intel HD gpu.
