So I have a laptop with two graphic cards on it - Intel Graphic HD 4000 and ATI Radeon 7670M. I do know how to "force" programs to use ATI Card by using the Catalyst Control Center but this "magic switch" don't always work. Some programs even when forced will just run on Intel. This goes especially for games.

For instance The Sims 2 will show on log that Intel graphic is used even after changing settings on Catalyst Center. Which is more confusing for me - games which allow to setup graphic before run (like Deus Ex: Human Revolution) don't recognize the ATI card. They just don't see it.

So I want to ask if this is normal and is there any way to force software to see the ATI card?

I am using Windows 7 (x64).

  • The simplest way. Don't install the Intel drivers and/or disable it in Bios. – Ramhound Jul 30 '14 at 23:28

  • @Ramhound I tried to disable it in Bios - I can't. There is no option for it. – Infero93 Jul 31 '14 at 09:57
  • @Infero93 - I actually provided two ways. The simplest solution to avoid having both GPUs be used is to NOT have drivers that support switching between the two devices installed. This can be acomplished by not using the OEM drivers and instead use the AMD/Nvidia released drivers. – Ramhound Jul 31 '14 at 11:10
  • @Ramhound Will try to remove drivers for Intel – Infero93 Aug 01 '14 at 08:53
