Hi:

Most likely your notebook only has the Intel graphics adapter, as most of them do.

The amd driver is there for the 8470p notebooks with the optional AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

If you go to the device manager, click to expand the Display Adapters device manager category, if you only see one graphics adapter listed there (Intel HD), then that is all you have.

Notebooks with the AMD/Intel graphics adapters will show two adapters listed there.  Intel HD and AMD HD.

Yes You Right But What Can I Do For Games? I Must Switch Them And If Not Maybe Intel Cannot support Heavy Games Have a Solution For This???

THANKS

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to improve the Intel graphics performance.

If you plan on playing heavy games, you would have to purchase a notebook with better graphics.

Ok I Agree with you,but can i change my gpu? for example send it and pickup old gpu and replace with new one?

Not without replacing the entire system board with one listed in the service manual for your notebook that has the amd/Intel graphics, and that would be expensive and labor intensive.

And now those graphics are rather dated anyway.

That is why I suggested you invest in a new notebook with better graphics and trade in or sell the one you have now.
