    Whenever I run either of these, they use the Intel graphics instead of my 6770m. What is the fix for this?

    I use 3D Mark 11 Pro and if it simply runs on the "Performance" Settings it's using the 6770M the Intel HD won't even work with it on "Performance". You can download the trial and ummm make it Pro by various means that can't be discussed here.

    I am using 3D Mark 11 Pro as well. I ran it on performance and it still showed the "Intel HD Graphics" as the graphics card in the benchmark summary. One weird thing is that it says the manufacturer is ATI Technologies, but I assume this is because the driver is from them.

    I only ran the first graphics test to see if it would detect the 6770m, and I was only getting about 2fps on the performance setting. Is this what you guys got?

    I have the Envy 17 3D with the AMD HD6850. When I run 3D Mark11, the summary also says Intel HD Graphics...but it runs the test. I score on average, depending on drivers, around 1900. If I switch to the Intel graphics, 3D Mark 11 refuses to run...so if it is running on your machine...it has to be the 6770. Also...don't run 1900 x 1080 or your scores are going to be minimal. Run default settings
