Using AMD Graphics Effectively (optional)

PowerXpress is Switchable Graphics technology that selectively enables either the internal or external graphics chipset depending on the program to extend the battery life time while maintaining the graphics performance.

This technology uses the internal graphics by default to reduce battery consumption and switches to the external graphics when the user uses some program functions that require a high graphics performance such as games and playing videos.

•• This description is only for Windows 8 and models with AMD PowerXpress technology.

•• If Windows XP is installed, you can only use Internal Graphics.

►Adding programs for PowerXpress graphics technology

You have to register the program to run some functions of a program using the external graphics chipset.

Some programs are pre-registered. To register more programs, complete the following steps.

•• Unregistered programs will run using the internal graphics chipset.

•• You can register executable files (EXE) only.

Right-click on the Desktop and select Configure Switchable Graphics from the popup menu.

Click the Browse button and register the software and click the Apply button.

From now on some of the functions of the registered program that require a high graphics performance will run with the external graphics chipset without additional configuration.
