Using switchable graphics (select models only)
Switchable graphics allow you to switch between Performance mode and Power Saving mode.
To manage your switchable graphics settings:
1. From the Windows desktop, right-click on the Windows desktop, and then select Configure
Switchable Graphics.
2. Click the Power tab, and then select Switchable Graphics.
Switchable graphics assigns individual applications to either Performance mode or Power Saving
mode, based on power requirements. You can also manually modify the settings for an individual
application by locating the application under Recent Applications drop-down menu, or by clicking
Browse, located below Other Applications. You can switch between Performance mode and Power
Saving mode.
NOTE: For more information, see the switchable graphics software Help.
Using dual graphics (select models only)
If your system is equipped with dual graphics (two or more added Graphics Processing Units
(GPUs)), you can enable AMD Radeon Dual Graphics to increase application power and performance
for full-screen applications that use DirectX version 10 or 11. For more information about DirectX, see
http://www.microsoft.com/directx .
NOTE: Dual graphics systems only support automatic selection based on power requirements
(Dynamic scheme), and automatically assign Performance mode or Power Saving mode for individual
applications. However, you can manually modify the settings for a particular application.
To enable or disable AMD Radeon Dual Graphics, select or deselect the check box in the AMD
Radeon Dual Graphics section, which is located in the Performance tab in the Catalyst Control
Center.
NOTE: For more information, see the AMD software Help.
