Open Catalyst Control Center. Set the games to run on High Performance. They should run fine.
If still a problem, try to change your BIOS settings, from Dynamic to Fixed for the graphics card.

This computer had so many issues. They told me that my computer did not have "switchable graphics" i ended up returning it. i purchased an Asus G53sw-XA1 for 899 in late december. This thing runs circles around the dv6t quad. the graphics card is superior to theirs, plus the asus allows for 2 hard drives (although its a bit more complicated putting a second one in) and comes with a 1 year accidental damage protection warranty by default.
