    My laptop has got two graphics adaptors :

    1 INTEL HD GRAPHICS 4000
    2 RAEDON HD 7670M

    I downloaded the 64 bit version of the dolphin emulator and checked the graphics settings. It showed that the adaptor being used was INTEL HD 4000. The pull down menu showed no sign of RAEDON HD 7670M.

    Is there some problem ? If yes, how can it be resolved.
    I do not have much knowledge about these things . So please keep the explanation as simple as possible.


    THANKS!!

    Two ways you can address this:

    1. Right-click on Dolphin executable, and see if you can select an option similar to "Run with Radeon HD 7670M".
    2. Add Dolphin executable in AMD Catalyst utility under Switchable Graphics, and assign the Radeon to it.

    Having the integrated graphics show up instead of the dedicated one in some applications is normal and even occurs for nVidia's Optimus setups as well, since the dedicated card only takes over once the system detects 3D APIs being called. Even though Dolphin may show the Intel IGP only, chances are the Radeon will kick in once you start the emulation.

    What you need the 7670M for? HD4000 is more than capable of processing 95% of all the games in Dolphin
