Dell inspiron 15 3521 with AMD 7670m graphics, problem with switchable graphics in games like Flight Simulator X
So, i have the inspiron 15 3521 with 7670m and the problem was that "FSX" pc game didnt recognize the gpu, just the integrated graphics hd 4000. After a lot of research and looking for a solution in some forums,there seems to be a solution by using a different catalyst version provided by leshcatlabs. I tried to make a clean installation of these drivers with no success. Also i tried to install previous AMD catalyst version with no sucess too... Only the driver provided by Dell is installed correctly.
What should i do?
Bellow is the relative thread

Your best bet is to do a factory restore of the system. A quick look around says that game doesn't play well with switching graphics - to run it properly you need a high-end gaming notebook or desktop with true discrete video. There are many, many reports of it not working with mainstream systems using switching video.

No, not necessarily. This is about as low-end as a new system can be had. As would be the case if you bought an economy car to tow a trailer, it's just not up to the job.
You're not going to find a system capable of running FS well at this price point. It's a demanding game - a budget notebook just can't handle it.
