Hp envy 4-1054tx product B9K26PA#UFF

[jophil]

Hello there.. I just bought an hp envy 4-1054tx product B9K26PA#UFF. I searched throuth the net specs and as well as info on the box of this product. all the info stated that this product should have an amd radeon graphics card. I am very confused right now cause i checked on dxdiag the graphics and it stated i have an intel graphic card. could anyone help me out here?

this link i found to be the same as the others. i cannot find this additional info on #UUF in the product no. same info comes with the box.i have a switchable graphic on amd but what i want is to be sure that amd functions and not just the software. i run out of idea how to see if amd is running on my computer.

I'm suspecting you need to turn off the on-board Intel graphics in BIOS and make sure you have the correct ATI drivers installed

when the computer boots up, you sometimes see a message "press Delete or F2 now to enter BIOS" - or something to that effect. Press the key to ener BIOS and look for Integrated Video (or just Video) and Disable it

the drivers can be downloaded from here - http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
