    Hmmm, strange how PhysX is showing up xAcid9 in your screenshot, that`s an nvidia feature, and it`s greyed out for me, is this a bug? , or can you get it to work with AMD now.

    Do these drivers have the ability/option to switch between GPUs (Power Saving/High Performance) like the one Lenovo supplies? I'm talking about "Configure Switchable Graphics" in the AMD VISION Engine Control Center.

    I apologize for my lack of understanding.

    IIRC, AMD driver officially support switchable graphic in Fusion APU. You don't need to rely on OEM driver.
