So I have a laptop and apparently I have 2 gpu, Intel HD Graphics 4600 (which I knew I had it) and Radeon R9 M290X Crossfire (which according to some pages my computer has it) and for what I have researched it's better, so my question is: Is it posible to make that my games run on the Radeon gpu instead of my Intel gpu?

PD: Sorry for my ignorance and thanks!

Specs (if needed):
Intel i5 4300m 2.6 ghz (3.3ghz with turbo boost)
8gb RAM
1366x768
Win7-64 bits

If your computer does have the AMD card, it should appear in the Device Manager. And also, to configure it, right click your desktop and click "configure switchable graphics", then select high Performance on the games you want to run better.

When I try to switch it says that the AMD Catalyst Control Center can't run, do I have drivers or something like that?
It does show the option to switch graphics btw

It may need drivers updated. I would recommend getting them from the manufacturers website and not AMD directly, as in the past when I have helped people with switchable graphics normal drivers didn't work.
