    Hi guys

    I cannot set the graphics settings in The Settlers 7 (the right pane settings) to medium or high - they are greyed out for me. I can only set it on low.

    It says this options are unsupported by my graphics card! i have the 6770M and it is a very well performing gaming card. I can max out Starcraft, BFBC 2, COD Black ops....all at playable settings.

    I have the HP Pavilion DV6-6096 with switchable graphics (YES the AMD card is the active one while playing not the Intel card) and the 8.83.6.2 driver for 6770M downloaded from HP's website.

    I heard people having similar issues with their 6970M card and this game.

    Any thoughts?

    Contact the developers. Tell them to stop being idiots and have a manual switch some where.
