Hi there!
According to HP Support Assistant, my pavilion (ab141na) is equiped with dual gpu.To be more specific here is a screen grab of the assistant.
I tried several games without any luck. For example Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper is giving me no more than 5-6 fps. Sherlock Holmes Crimes and punishments is even worse. I used the amd system monitor and i realise according to the output (csv) of the application that the game is always playing using the APU and not the GPU.
I dont know, its the first time that i have a dual gpu laptop and i dont know how to use it properly maybe.
Any help would be appreciated.

I grasp that when you try to play games you are getting a low fps. Please review this document for assistance. HP Notebook PCs - Green Screen and Other Video Playback Issues (Windows 10). Here are two links to help you understand how switchable graphics work and configuring them.
