pavilion g6 switchable graphics 1139tx

I recently brought my new laptop and the specs : core i5 2430m , ram 4 gb , radeon ur 6470m

I realize that the switchable graphics won't work and there is no BIOS option also . I already have up to date drivers but when select it on high performance and power saving , there is.no difference .

Please I need help because contacted local HP engineer but I think they don't have interest in my prob. And now I think that I must return it.

Thanx in advance .
Archit.

before returning it you must know that every i core processor(amd processors too) has integrated graphics and thus,switchable graphics,unless hp comes with a bios tool for g6 as well,not just dv6 and envy,you cant switch permanently to radeon.

 

and there is a difference,i am playing lineage 2 and before assign it to High Performence,everytime i started the game i had a message that my "AGP" is not connected,followed by in-game laggs.

after i assigned it to high performance,the message and the laggs dissapeared.

 

after you installed a game,enter it,then exit game and go to configure switchable graphics and assign the game to  high performance.

 

atm this is the only solution,unless HP does something to change this.
