Switchable graphics (AMD / Intel)

Hi!

I've recently purchased CoH 2 to run on the following machine:
Intel Core i7-2630QM
8 GB DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)

It has switchable graphics, which means there's two graphics cards (the other one is an Intel HD Graphics 3000), but for some reason, CoH2 starts running on Intel's graphics card, instead of AMD's one.

Play on Intel's one is awful, because this graphics card was simply not made for gaming, I believe. So I need to find a way to make CoH2 run on AMD graphics board.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You tried to manually add COH2 in your driver menu?

I know that in the same situation but with an Nvidia card, you could go into the Nvidia Control Panel and choose which programs ran on which video card.

I recommend opening up Catalyst and looking for a similar option in there. It almost certainly would exist.

another way should be deactivating the onboardgraphics in bios

That's a much more desperate move, however :) The Intel will likely give you the best power efficiency for non-gaming stuff.
