Hello, I have Intel HD graphics family integrated card and AMD Radeon R7 M260 2GB card on my laptop. The problem is that I can barely run games on low/medium because they seem to choose the Intel HD graphics card and I cannot overrule this choice(or can't find). When I got Fallout 4 I was crushed to see 10-20fps on lowest settings, while others with way worse PC settings got up to 50 with low/medium. While tinkering with Config files I found out that Fallout 4 had set Intel graphics card as default, I just changed the words manually to AMD, and I got smooth fps on High settings. The problem is that all games seem to set Intel graphics card as default, and I can't seem to change that, not every game has such detailed config files where I can just change the graphics card. I heard that you have to set "High performance" Power Setting and the better card will be chosen. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I can't seem to play anything besides Fallout 4 decently because of this, is there any way to choose which card I want to use manually or Fix my situation? Thank you in advance
P.S. My drivers are updated and Power Option plan "High performance" should run on High Performance irregardless of whether the battery is charging or not. And in "switchable graphics options"(AMD driver software option) I have marked my games to run on "high performance"
