Setting a default graphics card!!

Question

I just bought a new Dell 5520 with switchable graphics. It has 2 graphic cards: Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000, and AMD Radeon HD 7670M Now, here is my problem, whenever i try to run any game I have to switch to the ADM card. But some games ask to choose a Graphics Adapter at which point I can only select the intel HD Graphics Card and not the AMD one. I tried to set High Graphics setting with AMD Catalyst Controller but the game does not seem to detect it. What do i do?? Is there any way I can select AMD card as my Default Graphics Adapter?  Im seriously considering getting back my money!

Hi reds4eva8,

Congratulations for the new computer.

We need to manually add every game using the catalyst control center.

Find the below steps for AMD Switchable Graphics:

Click the Start button and select “All Programs”.
Click Catalyst Control Center.
Click Power and select Switchable Graphics.
Choose an application/game from the list or browse and select an application and assign the appropriate GPU.

Please reply if you have any further questions.

I am really dissapointed because you are keep telling us that the progam is with our sytem settings or with the CCC software setting. I think almost everybody can setup the CCC properly and install the latest video card drivers whitch came with the laptop or available on Dell's website.

The problem must be the Intel 4000 card driver which not supports Open Gl applications properly, however CCC seems supporting it.
