Hello, I've recently purchased the HP ENVY 15z -j100, with the discrete Graphics card option.
I've looked into the "Dual-Graphics" Technology that works similar to Crossfire, and uses both the APU and Discrete GPU to provide maximum performance in games. I have also read, however, that when the technology doesn't work on a game, for some reason, it defaults to using the Lowest power GPU, in this case I think the APU is weaker.
I've Played Battlefield 4, and it definitely works seamlessly, but I'm worried about games that cannot use Dual Graphics, I'd rather it default to using the Discrete than the APU. (Which I assume a game called "Vindictus" does not take advantage of this technology because I can easily run it on Ultra with a GTX670 on a Desktop with 60fps but Battlefield 4 only gets 40-50fps ULTRA.
How do I change it so that the default Graphics card is the Discrete?
