Yeh that's what I thought tbh but after having it awhile now I am really disappointed in it. Even using auto detect on divinity original sins puts all setting on very low!
Just downloaded early access to Lego worlds and it only runs on low setting. I'm I doing something wrong? This feels like the biggest waste of money I've ever made...
Open up GPU-Z and run the render test. Then open up HWMonitor. You should see the m295x then.
Through there, play a game windowed (or fullscreen if you have two monitors) and keep track of the data on the r9 m295x on HWMonitor. You should also look at the CPU's speed as well (should be below powers).

It isn't recommended to take websites like system requirements literally. Just use them as a guide.
That said, the i7-4710HQ is better than the i5-2400. It's more comparable to the recent i5 desktop processors.

It should be fine.
Run on AC Power. Set Power Profile to High Performance (runs cpu at 100%-100%).
Be sure dedicated AMD card handles all programs (even the testers) and all graphics.

If I may ask, what speeds is your CPU running at? You can use monitoring software like HWMonitor to view this.
Monitoring software will also tell you if you are using the R9 m295x. Something like GPU-Z would be beneficial for GPUs.

I downloaded the HWMonitor, but im a complete noob about this sorry. I did notice that the R9 is not on the list, just the intel hd card.

I dont think so, I dont know why I would of. Do you think its worth doing a complete restore incase I did?
Im just about to download GPU-Z and run the render test now.

Open up HWMonitor during the render test. This will tell us if the GPU actually works or not.
If it does, then we may have to try different AMD drivers (Dell's AMD, the latest beta, etc.).

ok, im just downloading it now. iGPU, thats the integrated gpu. Is that because there was no load on the r9?

Hmmm.... that looks as if the iGPU is being used.
Can you run a benchmark for me? Say, 3Dmark (the demo version)? If only the iGPU is being used there, then we have a more difficult problem.

I ran Lego Worlds with the GPU-Z open. When I went on to sensors I was getting reading from it;
