Hi,
I have recently bought a Lenovo G505s latop with AMD A8, Radeon Dual Graphics, 4GB RAM, WIndows 8. I bought it for everyday use and a bit of mid level gaming(mostly simulator games). I installed Euro Truck Simulator in it and added the game app to high performance mode in AMD Catlyst Controller. however, i can see still there is lag in performance.(1320*768). Please help me out here whether i need to install, update any settings or any help to boost up FPS/gaming performance..

Appreciate your help.

When you buy a laptop dont expect your games to run on high quality with some sort of performance impact. Laptops arent meant for gaming. There are no driver updates for EuroTruck because its not a big title that warrants...
You'd have to play with the games quality settings.

Driver updates might help a SMALL amount. For laptops I think you need to only get them from that laptop's site.

Also, run a benchmark with 3DMark2001se and record the default test score (don't change settings). This allows you to see if something goes wrong as it often can when you have dual-graphics setups. I've seen lots of people end up using a single GPU though I'm not too familiar with Dual Graphics other than the fact it needs LOTS of improvement from AMD.

There are no driver updates for EuroTruck because its not a big title that warrants AMD to make a drivers with that game in mind. Your only option is set quality to low or medium to get rid of the lag.
