I bought a laptop a few weeks ago with 2 gpu's. One of them is complete CRAP (it's integrated) and the other is EPIC. but the problem is, is that even with "crossfire" enabled, only my crappy one runs in minecraft. Some games, it runs - some games it doesn't. IT'S SO ANNOYING. I went into the catalyst and enabled it - no avail. I went into the BIOS and there's no setting for that.
Please help!
(btw, I have the dedicated 6650 and the integrated 6520)
I even disabled crossfire, didn't do anything/no change in FPS.

Bah. Someone posted a workaround for this a few weeks ago but I'm pretty sure it involved a firmware setting, something to do with "dynamic". I can't recall exactly

If you right click on any game shortcut/launcher you should have an option "Run with xxxx gpu".

Uh, all laptops have a CPU, and most have an APU. I have the Lenovo Z575 12992PU.
And that's weird, I can't see anything like run "with ____ gpu" nothing.

Talked my friend with a laptop with 2 GPUs to send me a screenshot of how he does it.



You have no such option?
