I bought a lenovo G50-45 laptop with AMD A8 6410 APU and R5 230m 2GB graphics. I see no option in Catlayst center for dual graphics while AMD has confirmed that A8 6410 supports dual graphics. My primary display adapter is 512 MB iGPU while load is transferred on dGPU when iGPU is 100% loaded. I can't switch my primary display adapter(No option in BIOS)

What can be the reason for no dual graphics option? Is there anyway to enable dual graphics?

I'm not sure laptop varients of cards are compatible with dual graphics, has you checked to see if the AMD A8 6410 can do dual graphics with that exact card?

Yes I have checked with AMD and they said that its possible. They are saying to talk to manufacturer and Lenovo might have disable it through BIOS. I had a talk with lenovo too and they said that by design they have done it. Now is there any other way by which I can enable it?
