i have dell laptop (inspiron 5559, core i7 6th gen) which have integrated graphics called intel hd 520 and a dedicated graphics card i.e amd r5 m335 the problem is that when I play games on integrated graphics the fps are awesome. like in call of duty 4 on low settings fps are 200 constant and when I play on amd r5 m335 the fps drops to 80-90 and sometimes lower. and also the amd r5 m335 utilizes less memory barely 100mb and temperature also rises to about 70 to 80.
pLz answer me is the hd 520 better than amd r5 m335 or there is some problem with it??

I wonder how many people get suckered into paying extra for discrete graphics which are worse than integrated because they blindly believe that discrete cannot be worse or that manufacturers wouldn't bother including worse discrete graphics.

Whatever the case might be, yes, it does happen.
