If anyone could help me that would be much appreciated.

My issue is that when i boot fallout new vegas, fallout 3, oblivion, etc.

It shows amd radeon HD 8650G instead of my r9 m290x and doesn't give me the option to use my r9 m290x. This pretty much makes these games unplayable to a degree.

I have tried everything to to fix this going to into bios to turn off integrated - No option to turn if off. Disabling integrated - Makes it so my r9 m290x doesn't work. deleting everything amd on the computer and reinstalling it - Only made my SSD stop working properly.

I have tried just about everything and cannot get it to work but here my specs for a little more info

(Also all my other games use my main gpu so it is only these bethseda games)

Specs:
Computer-MSI GX60 Destroyer
Graphics-r9 m290x
operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
BIOS: E16FKAMS.D0K
Processor: AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
 


This is a laptop. I am guessing it is an issue with Zero Core Technology (where the discreet turns off if not needed).

Yea i've checked any my computer completely turns off the r9 m290x while not in use so im guessing thats why when i open the launcher it doesn't give me the option to choose it since it isn't active but i have tried setting the launcher to high performance too to no avail it still only shows integrated
