Hi there.

So i have a HP Pavilion 15-po46na notebook.

This comes with the AMD A8 6410U Cpu which has an AMD r5 Graphics card - Okay i get this.
This also comes with an R7 M260 Dedicated graphics card.

Thinking now it has an R7, and which HP states this laptop runs at dual graphics, meaning for games and heavy load uses BOTH graphics.

So this means, this laptop apparently used the R5 and R7 at heavy load or with games...
Now please tell me why i at some nice combat on starcraft i get a whopping 0FPS... all the time.

I hear the fans going off nicely telling me something happening. When going into GPU-Z it displays usage of the R7 Graphics card.

From the picture you can see that only the R5 is being used... even on the settings panel it doesn't even display to use the R7, nor show there is an R7, but from what i know and have seen, there is an R7 in this laptop.

Please help, i can't stand this lag anymore :/

Thankyou.

The R7 is the laptops dedicated graphics card... Search the laptop online and look.
Along with the APU R5 Graphics.

I can only see the R5 being used though.
