AMD Radeon hd 8750m - Can't configure switchable graphics

[Kroq]

Hello there!

I recently bough a Samsung series 3 laptop (NP370R5E) with Windows 8 (64 bits). The computer has two graphic cards: a Intel HD Graphics 4000 and a AMD Radeon HD 8750m. Both cards are shown in Device Manager, however, in (for example) HWinfo it only shows my Intel card. And in Catalyst Control Center, I am not able to "Configure Switchable Graphics" (nothing happens when I click on it. It is kinda annoying if games etc. run with the Intel card instead of the AMD, seeing as the latter is better. My Device Manager tells me the drivers are updated on both cards, but I can't find the AMD 8750m drivers anywhere (if this is the reason why Catalyst Control center is not letting me configure).

So, my questions are:
1. What might be the reason why Catalyst Control Center won't let me configure switchable graphics?
2. If drivers might cause the problem, is there anywhere I can find the updated AMD driver (can't seem to find it on amd.com)
3. Is there any other program that can show me which graphics card is used when gaming? (I've tried GPU-Z, but it wouldn't open for some reason)

Thanks in advance, Kroq.

well the Catalyst Control Center opens configure switchable graphics automatically when u use closs your game/program it ask to run on high performance or power savings (HD8750m / intel hd 4000) then you can select and in Catalyst Control Center there is an switchable graphics option at the last of list you can change your settings from there also.

the driver updates are found here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
just fill that 4 options for manul driver downloading

but its best if you go here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx
it will detect and install the new driver update available. if this doesn't work try the manual one.

The HD 8000 series is out already?

@power2233: Yes, I am aware of this feature. However, I am not able to use the "configure switchable graphics" as nothing happens when I click on it.. The AMD Driver Autodetect doesn't work, and I can't use the manual installer as there is no option for the 8000 series.

@huilun02: My device manager tells me I have a AMD Radeon HD 8750m graphics card, so I guess so.
