Right, well this has been on for a while now so I wanted it taken care of.
The problem is my HP Pavillion dv6-6155se is fit with AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1GB GDDR5 dedicated) graphics, and Intel HD graphics. I'll provide screenshots of different programs used to find out the cards, but the issue that comes out of this is that my video games (first one that made me find out about this was Amnesia) won't work because of this. I've asked for help on the Gaming forum on This thread and all I've gotten through with is I've reset my options in Catalyst Control Center to high preformance at all times, but Amneisa still won't work. Is the Radeon Card not good enough for Amnesia to run itself or have I set it wrong?
Help?

What exact message do you get? The 6770 is sufficient for this game. Dynamic mode may be convient for easy transparent switching between Intel and ATI but many games have issues and lower performance. I suggest you turn on fixed mode and change which graphic card you want to use manually.

Amnesia is an openGL based game. OpenGL applications don't run on the dedicated graphics card (the radeon) if you are set to dynamic (graphic card) switching. You need to update the latest BIOS for your laptop then go into the BIOS and set your graphics settings to Manual switching. This way you can set it to always use the Radeon card instead of making it switch on the fly back and forth for battery and power conservation.
This is currently the only way to get openGL applications to run on the dedicated graphics card in our laptops.
