Hello,
I just bought a Lenovo IdeaPad G510, with AMD radeon R5 m230, but when I use CPU-Z it shows me that my graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 4600, How to use the AMD R5 m230?

Thanks

Go to your task bar click hidden icons there is a nVidia button (should show no activity when you hover over it) click it then you will see a box choose customize which program uses the gpu, click it, you will get to your 3d manager choose the tab at the top (global or program) you can set it always on or just choose your games and then if your not gaming it will automatically switch back to intel to save power hope this helps

Ok, I added for example Chrome browser to the list on "High performance" settings (Assuming I want the AMD card to work while watching YouTube), does it really work? Because I don't know how to check whether it's currently working or not.
