HP 15-af156nm how to use better graphic card?

[Gavro]

Hello, I have HP 15-af156nm laptop with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics + AMD Radeon R5 M330 2GB. 

I have the problem when I wanna play some game, the games use my integrated video card, not better AMD Radeon R5 M330. I know for Configure switchable graphics in AMD catalyst but I'm not sure that something is better. Is there any way to solve this problem, to switch to AMD Radeon R5 M330 2GB and use this better graphic card? Thank you

My computer is in dynamic mode, I add exe of some game in AMD catalyst, I wanna play and I set high performance but I'm not sure that game use better graphic, I check in game options and I still have 1gb of graphic card to use not 2gb from better card. So, I checked and I can't change that in BIOS for my notebook model.  So? Thank you again!

Hello @Gavro,

Thanks for the update.

I understand it is not choosing the 2gb card, but are you facing any type of performance issues while playing the game? Are you facing any lags or anything as such?

Ideally, the dynamic mode will choose the better option / resource to allocate to the processor as per the need.

So please let me know if this is causing any type of performance issue while playing the game so that I can assist you better.

Thank you!

Good luck 🙂

Thank you for reply 🙂

I'm not sure I see some better performance in the game when I'm playing in optimized mode and when I change to high performance mode. If you have some other idea how to use maximum performance of this notebook, that would be very nice. There's no any other idea how to use max. performance of this Radeon R5 M330 graphic?

Hello @Gavro,

I think you will be the better judge of your computer performance. From my personal experience, I would suggest you try playing some high-end games to check the graphic card performance.

If there is an issue, the game will lag or stuck while loading the graphics or while playing.

Hope that helps. Thank you!
