Asus N551ZU - Dedicated video card not working

[VladHD]

I bought recently a notebook (Asus N551ZU-CN010D) with FX-7600P and R9 M280X 4GB GDDR5 video card and i have this major problem: no matter what i do,i cannot choose the r9 to run as primary card. In BIOS i don't have the option to disable the integrated chipset,and i tried every single option in catalyst control center,i put everything on High Performance and still not working,still integrated card runs primary. I disabled integrated card from Management,but after that it says that no card detected and it runs on VGA. I tried everything but nothing seems to work.
So please if anyone knows how to solve this,i'll be gladful.

Hi,

Start by doing a clean install of the AMD graphics card driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the AMD graphics driver.
- Do the same in Programs and Features, uninstall anything related to AMD graphics.
- Download and install the latest driver from AMD, just do the automatic detect and install.
- Here's the link: http/support.amd.com/en-us/download
- Reboot your laptop once the latest driver has been installed.
- After the reboot make sure to set it to High Performance again so it would use your graphics card for your games and software that requires your graphics card.

I have the exact same problem. Did the suggestion work?

yes, it will only shows R7 as the primary device, because i think the R9 M280X is not a hardware but only and extended driver (ghost device). i tried playing call of duty : advanced warfare and it shows me at the video settings that i use R9 for the video card and suggests me with mostly mid to high performance in most of the options. i guess that as long as you keep everything on high performance at control center and at windows power options, the 4gb r9 m280x will work, seemlessly
