If you have 2 monitors you will be able to use both graphics cards separately. Meaning, that you attach each card to a monitor. And this works in Windows 7. As far as using them together, that is called Crossfire (AMD) and SLI (for Nvidia). They have to be the same graphics card in order to use both. I want to make sure, this is a laptop? The specs on the laptop doesn't
show a radeon card. It only uses the video graphics from the CPU. Mar 2, 2011

Yes this is a laptop. It does have two graphics cards. One is a Intel HD Graphics Family, which I'm sure is the bad one. And the other is a Radeon HD 6770M. It is mine. Sorry forgot something with the name... Its not just a hp pavillion dv6 6136... its a hp pavillion dv6 6136TX. That
is where your confusion is JKatwyopc. You will probably not find this computer on any internet searches as I'm pretty sure its a model that is only for shop I bought it from. I couldn't even find it when trying to search it in the support part of Hp. Please help I've been searching around everywhere for answers on why my computer is *** when playing games. I've gone all the way from system settings to faulty graphics card and to this in the past 6 months! Mar 19, 2011 2,437 0 20,160 178
Check to see which video graphics your laptop is using. On the bottom left click on Start->Right-click Computer->Click on Properties->Click on Device Manager->Click on the little white arrow next to Display Adapters. Tell us what it brings up. For example mine says AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series, because I have a HD 6870. If it shows a 6770M, try
updating your AMD drivers laptop version. Aug 16, 2012

I've done all that. I know it's using the intel graphics card instead of the radeon. And the drivers are updated. Also it shows both but when I go to start-> search "dxdiag"-> display it says it's using the intel one Mar 19, 2011 2,437 0 20,160 178
Can you boot into your BIOS and see if you have an option to switch off the intel graphics?

ive tried but when i do that it didnt come up with the options.... wasnt it that when you boot your comp you press F10 and navigate thru stuff then change the graphics card from dynamic to fixed... when i did it there was only a box to write in...? Mar 19, 2011 2,437 0 20,160 178
Yes you press F10 to get to your BIOS. What does it say when you look at your graphics options, you said dynamic or fixed. Has it been this way ever since you got your laptop? or have you changed any options?

Hello, If u havent found the answer
already then here it is if u right click on the desktop then you will get the option of "Configure switcable Graphics " click that then a window of amd will open and you can see which one is in use then there are 2 option one the intel the other the Amd if the AMD is not already in use the click on the amd button and the screen will flash in order to change the gpu so dont worry hopw it helps
If you cant get it done, or you dont have the option of conf switchable graphics, you need to let windows update download the right driver, most of the times its an older driver, but it seems to be the only way to get it installed proprely.
Like i said if you cant find those options, better check the windows update for that driver, there is no need to unnistall the amd.com driver, just click to install the old driver from windows update, restart. And thats it... Jun 27, 2013 1 0

I have a similar laptop (dv6-6165tx) and the way you do it is very easy, just follow these steps - 1. You have posted about fixed and dynamic so I assume that you know how to get there, set it to FIXED. Save and exit from bios. 2. Now on your desktop right click anywhere and you will get the option to switch graphics card, do it to the more powerful one (hd 6770m). That is it. Status Not open for further replies.
