Problem: im unsure that CCC is using AMD card instead of Intel's, i have encountered several issues since updating to 8.1 and i don't know what to do
What happened:
Installed 8.1 patch first day
After 1 minute of use, BBSOD, windows never loaded again
System restore wouldnt recognize 8.0 restore points
i did a system reset to windows 8 since the laptop was only 3 weeks old
System Broke, it did restore to factory BUT kept the registry almost intact, i had to install almost everything again, since the factory drivers where working with the updated one's registry and several problems
CCC Broke too <-
What i've already done
Installing new drivers on top of old ones didnt work, so i used AMD uninstaller first
Uninstalled and Re-installed Intel's HD Graphics Driver
Tried to install mobile center, but AMD told me that it wasnt compatible (even if thats the only driver that they provide via their page as seen Here)
Tried to use Auto-Detect, couldnt install driver because card was disabled because it didnt have the drivers... (see what they did here?)
Had to use a workaround with Samsung Update, the driver didnt appear as download so had to use search and downloaded the driver manually.
Now the graphic card appears on device manager and catalyst but as 8800 series (not exact model), and cant check the card with neither dxdiag/GPU-z/HWMonitor
when right-clicking on CCC only Intel card appears
launching a game and using as "high performance" would speed it up a little but i cant be sure
How to verify its working properly?
HWMonitor wont show AMD card even when set to high performance
Latest GPU-Z wont work because a problem with Intel's, and legacy
ones wont either
what can I do now? I don't even know if I fixed my problem or not, and i also want to to use Adobe Premier with it, and its locked (the option to run it with the amd card not intels)
Edit:
now it seems to work, but cant change the setting for adobe Premiere and other programs that i Need to
