    Hey guys, so its been over a few months that ive got my hp envy 15 3012tx model laptop. Its been running fine until I encountered a problem when I started playing Shogun 2 total war fall of the samurai today. It seems that the game wont recognise my HD 7690m Graphics card and instead detects and uses the intel hd graphics card. Does anyone know how to get the game to use the 7690m? I really want to play this game at a decent level.

    Thanks

    Turn off dynamic graphic card switching in your BIOS. Set it to Fixed. Then you will have control on your graphics card.

    Or, you can keep dynamic, but then you need to assign the AMD card to your game to be used.
