    I'm doing this from memory, but right click desktop, choose Catalystl Control Center (or whatever they call it these days), choose Enduro or switchable graphics, find the EXE for the game and set it to use the 7970m.

    We need this and Optimus stickied in every single forum here at NBR. It's asked a dozen times a day I bet.

    I already do this, and continues the same problem, even if i put the .exe in Catalisty control center.

    still using the Intel HD3000

    There is another Solution?

    not 100% certain but I believe that the card listed will be the intel no matter what though it will be using the 7970. Not saying it is in your case but I believe that even working properly it'll say that.

    What is the score you're getting and which version of 3D mark are you using.
