    Hi guys,

    I've a problem with my laptop, basically when i go into my settings on a game, my radeon 7470m graphics card isnt listed as an option. I've tried installing all latest drivers but it's still not working.

    My card is listed as up to date on device manager too.

    I'm terrible with anything to do with technology so if any of you know the answer it'd be greatly appreciated :)

    I'm using a HP pavilion dv7 series and a radeon 7470m graphics card.

    Thanks in advance

    Tom

    It'd help if you specified which game.

    Quite an old game

    It's giving me a list of two;

    Intel HD graphics family
    or
    Primary Display Driver

    So, where AO is such an old game do you think downloading an older driver will help?

    No matter what i do, i can't seem to get my card to show on the list of available cards to use under settings
