I recently bought Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2 game which requires a minimum video card properties of 128 MB Direct X 9.0c-compliant video card, Shader 3.0-enabled video card (this is exactly what is written on the game pack under minimum configuration). My Dell laptop has two graphic cards - Intel(R) HD Graphics Family (I guess my laptop uses this one as the primary card) and AMD Radeon HD 8850M (I could play Modern Warfare 3 comfortably). During the installation, a system requirements detection screen popped up and stated "Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family is not compliant with the minimum requirement of the game. You should look at the details to know which requirements are not satisfied and upgrade it".

So, why isn't the game detecting the much more powerful AMD Radeon card and complete the installation? What can I do to make my system utilise the AMD Radeon card instead of the Intel card? Kindly requesting help. (P.S. I really want to play this game) Thank you.
