I know theres alot have been asked out there but none really answered as I ask in tittle, instead they answered things at people's description.

Basically I bought this laptop and it has Dual Graphic Card, one is AMD Radeon R7 and another is AMD Radeon R5 M230 Series. Right now I have R7 with only 512mb size while R5 has 2048mb.. Dont know how does that make sense but yeah right now I have the R7 as Primary and the R5 as Linked. Question is : How Do I Change R5 to Primary and R7 to Linked / How Do I Change R7 to Linked and R5 to Primary.

Extra Question : Which is Better, Radeon R7, Size 512 MB, Memory Clock 800 Mhz, Core Clock 686 Mhz & Total Memory Bandwidth 12 Gb/s

Or

Radeon R5, Size 2048 MB, Memory Clock 900 Mhz, Core Clock 855 MHz & Total Memory Bandwidth 14 Gb/s.


Question is : How Do I Change R5 to Primary and R7 to Linked / How Do I Change R7 to Linked and R5 to Primary.


Thank you so much, Would really appreciate your help. Would mean alot to me.

So far i havent found a way to do this but Im guessing your CPU would be an AMD a-10 or Fx
if so the Radeon r7 GPU is in Actually part of your CPU. In AMD's Radeon Settings Crimson go into gaming settings but click the game you want a higher fps in and disable most settings but enable shader chache and Put Crossfire in 1x1 mode Not Default, the default setting might as well be named " Disabled". And In additional settings Disable Dual Graphics(if enabled) Its The worst thing i have ever used, I tried it for cs:go and saints row both had worse gameplay after enabling it. With dual graphics: Cs: Go Was Slower and the Textures flickered so bad that the player models were only visible every half a second, And Saints Row IV Was slower with the option enabled. Sadly you cant enable Crossfire 1x1 In global settings so if you have problems with most games then you would have to do that with each game. Along with that in Crimson you Can basically Overclock your gpu without voiding warranty. If your computer isn't normally Too hot i would try to overclock it. Also in game If you play at the highest Resolution I would suggest If you have a 1080p screen that you play with 1280x 720. hope this helped
