Hello, I have an HP ProBook 4530 with an AMD Radeon HD 7470M grapics card, yet whenever i install a game the installation exe says its using "Intel HD graphics family" as a graphics adapter. Does this mean that its using my AMD graphics card or just an Intel integrated card? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

you have to tell the computer to use the 7470m for the game....right click on the desktop and hit configure switchable graphics...then you find the exe for the game and put it to high performance....then when you load the game it will use your 7470m instead of the intel graphics.....what is happening is that your pc is using the intel graphics while installing the game to save battery...you can verify which graphics its using by getting gpuz its free download it and then play the game and look at gpuz
