HELP with dual graphics drivers

[hatsamshuz]

I've got an AMD A8-5550G with an integrated HD 8550g, and a dedicated HD 8670M. I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall the original graphics drivers (the res was the same during safe mode boot, I think) and I also deleted the AMD folders. Once it was finished, I installed the Catalyst 14.4 drivers. The 8550G seemed fine afterwards but the 8670M shows as 8600M series with incomplete details.Is this a problem, and if so how do I fix it?

Looks fine to me.

You should also check in the Catalyst Control Center, under performance, and make sure the CrossFire is on to utilize the dual graphics capabilities, if you haven't done so already.

I have it on when I'm not gaming. The GPU-Z report of the 8670M was done when Dual Graphics mode was enabled. Isn't it supposed to show the bus interface, transistors, pixel fill rate, texture fill rate and such? The device manager also shows it as 8600M series, not an 8670M.

I am having the exact same issue. Performance has drop since updating to the catalyst 14.4 driver. Some help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running an Asus R510dp-fh11 AMD A10-5750m radeon HD 8670m 2gb version

I have recently refreshed my pc to windows 8, installed the catalyst 13.1. With this I do not have to enable crossfire or configure the switchable graphics. I am experiencing quite a boost in gamin performance. Titanfall averages about 44 fps in 1600x900 @ low settings with textures set to high. I guess I will just wait on mantle!!!

@Mayhem: How much fps do you get in games with Catalyst Control Center 13.1 drivers compared to 14.4?

I averaged about 30fps with everything on low at 1280x720

With the 14.4 mantle, i got about 15 fps on bf4, as well as titanfall... just overall horrible performance!

Yeah, I expected to play Far Cry 3 on low on buttery smooth framerates but nope, didn't work. I should have tried the original 13.1 drivers before updating to the new 14.4 driver.
