Hello,

I have AMD RadeonHD8650G(in the APU) + HD8670M 2GB(dedicated). I want to disable the HD8650G but there is no such an option in Dual Graphics. It can only disable the dedicated one.

My catalyst ver, is 13.12 which supports 8000M series burt not supports 8000G series yet. (ver. 14 will do it) I do not want to setup the beta yet and I will wait until it stabilizes. So, is there a way to disable APU graphics and just use dedicated?

Note: In drivers section of system management, there are Dual Graphics driver and HD8670M driver. If I diaable Dual Driver from system management can I only use HD8670M?

Maybe you can turn off internal graphics in the bios?

Oh, my ASUS BIOS does not shoe any graphic cards except the one in APU. I called technical service and they told me my PC's BIOS does not show it. So I cannot use BIOS for my GPU.

It's because you don't have any card. Graphic card on mobile computer are, for the most, just GPU so you will not really get more performance.

I see. It is true that there is a giant leap between Laptop and Desktop graphics. However, I want max performance that mine could do. I believe it can do better because I saw it doing in another laptop which had not had an APU,
