    Hello, I apologise in advance if this is the wrong area to post in but i disparately need help!

    i have a Hp envy 15-3005tx and have recently updated my bios to the newest f.09 which fixed a few issues i had been having with my laptop eg. keystroke issues, "cool-sence" issuse.
    Ever since the update i havent had any keystroke issue or coolsence hogging cpu BUT ive had a huge issue with my graphics card. I cant be sure if its exactly my grapics card but when i play any decent game (FarCry3, BF3) it has massive frame rate issues.

    Now ive been troubleshooting for three days straight. So far ive uninstalled all my graphics cards drivers as my system has "switchable graphics cards , intel 3000 and AMD 7690m". Ive managed to keep swicthable graphics and ive been able to update Catalyst control center and my amd to the newest drivers .

    It still hasn't worked and my fps is still horrible. Ive also tried 3 different bios versions with all the different amd drivers each time.
    Before i did the bios update everything was great and i could run BF3 on ultra settings. Ive also tryed the stock drivers for both the intel and amd and its still same issue.

    I dont even mind if i have to update to a compatable driver that will ruin my switchable graphics. i just want to be running the amd and fix the fps issue. (also ive tried updating to a Driver and Catalyst control center verson that didnt support switchable graphics and still had the same issue.)
    Can someone help?
