How to use my dedicated gpu instead of integrated gpu?

[Gpu4]

Hello, my laptop has 2 graphic cards one of them is Intel Integrated graphics card other one is “Amd Radeon HD 6700M Series”, i was wondering how can i use my Amd gpu instead of integrated graphics? In Device Manager i tried to disable the integrated graphic card but then my amd graphic card doesn’t render and it uses some kind of Microsoft Driver?

Hi:

Unfortunately, not with W10.

There are no drivers for the AMD/Intel switchable graphics which is why the AMD GPU is not working properly.

If you can still install W7, that would be your best option if you want everything to work as it is supposed to.

So i can just downlod windows 7 and the drivers i need from amd/intel then i can easily switch between dedicated and integrated graphics card?

If you have or can find a W7 64-bit operating system and product key yes, that will work.

I don't believe that you can download W7 from anyplace anymore.

You have to use the custom Intel/AMD driver for W7 which can be found on your notebook model series' support page.

That driver is this one since there are multiple graphics drivers listed:

AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver

8.882.2.3000    (339.0 MB)

This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.
