Thanks again for the responses and I hope they issue a new driver soon! Maybe the driver is sending the wrong temperature signal which create the problem? Anyway these are speculations. I used GPU-Z to check if I could identify the problem and weirdly the AMD card temperature reported by the driver is constantly at 511degC !!!, compared to 41degC for the Intel card (measured by a sensor). But it must be trying to use it somehow (and failing) since it is actually slowing the game down compared to when the card is deactivated. Interestingly I installed the AMD System Monitor to check how much the card was being used when in 'high performance' but I found that the card usage always stays at 0%. That way it doesn't try to use the AMD card, similar to what you propose Someday_7. In the meantime I have managed to play the game successfully by setting the graphic settings to 'power saving' rather than 'high performance' in the AMD catalyst control centre. When I uninstall the driver, it automatically download the latest one, before I can even install one I have saved on my hard drive. I was starting to think I would have to do something painful, like reinstalling Windows or sending the laptop back to the manufacturer. Thanks nikoli707 and Someday_7 for your answers! I am kind of glad to know there is nothing I can do and I just need to wait for a new driver update. using the Intel card only), everything works fine as long as the resolution is not too high which makes sense, but as soon as I enable the Radeon card the games become very slow, even at the lowest resolutions.Īnyone has experienced this before? I thought the problem was due to some Windows/driver updates as it appeared overnight but I could not find out what could have caused it (I am on Windows 10 by the way) and updating/reinstalling the drivers did not solve the problem and Windows tells me the card is working properly. When I disable it or run in power saving mode (i.e.

It seems to be the Radeon card causing the issue. Basically the problem is the same for all the games I have tried. I did a lot of checks, including, drivers, various games, switchable graphic settings etc.

But overnight I noticed games like Skyrim became very slow. I never really paid attention to it since I could play most games I wanted without problems. I have a Toshiba laptop with AMD radeon R7 M260 and Intel(r) HD graphic.
