Hey guys!
A few days ago I bought an HP laptop with an A8-6410 APU. As some may know, it comes with an R5 intergrated graphic card on the APU. There is also a dedicated card available inside my laptop.
It's an AMD Radeon HD 8570M (i've already managed to change the settings for gaming inside CCC, but i don't know if it only play games from the APU with the intergrated GPU, or in combination with the dedicated GPU).
My question is how to let the two work together so i can get more power to play games etc. (I heard that you have to set your power plan of your laptop to high performance so the dedicated GPU in combination with the APU would work because there is much more power when set in high performance). I already contacted HP and AMD by phone ,but they didn't really help me, so i hope someone from this support site can.
I've tried re-installing the GPU drivers through HP's website (since it's an HP G081 notebook), aswell as installing the drivers from AMD's website but it didn't fix a single thing.
I figured out that there is this 'high performance-mode' (right-click desktop, second option AMD) and that makes games more playable but the experience still is anything but good.
I think that the 8570m should definately be able to play older games like Assassins Creed Revwlations, since it's comparable to Nvidia's GT540, on which the game runs fine, even with medium-high settings.
What's going on here?
