    pari have been researching this online for hours now and cannot find a solution someone please help

    i have been playing wow on my alienware m17x r3 and framerates are just horribe compared to other peoples with similar hardware im getting max of 20fps on ultra while other people are getting 60+
    i was going to try and update my drivers for my graphics first but cant because if i download the driver from amd website it says something about not compatible
    if i download the driver from the dell website that is compatible then its still out of date and im not gaining anything. i guess something to do with the intel graphics and amd graphics that you can switch between is screwing this whole thing up. if needed i dont care at all about the intel graphics i think its stupid and would rather see that option of switching graphics go away, (i understand the point of it but it does not benefit me at all).

    any advice on either updating drivers or maybe something else that might be screwing with my fps?
