Question about AMD graphics card

[mattieboo]

Hi all,

Not too knowledgeable with laptops and AMD so was looking for some insight.

I recently bought a AMD laptop from Dell, which has the laptop version of rx460 4gb. When i go through dxdiag in the search option however, the graphics card just says "AMD Radeon R5 Graphics." Is this what it is supposed to be showing? (On my previous computers with intel & nvidia, it always displayed the exact name such as GTX 1050ti)

Thanks!

Yeah usually AMD won't display the exact version of your GPU in dxdiag, not even on its own drivers. You can use GPU-Z to make sure which graphics card you have.

Right click on your desktop...select "AMD Radeon Settings"...once it opens select the "System" tab.

AMD provides ALL of the info on your card...GPU chip type, BIOS version, memory clock, memory size, and even the driver version along with a bunch of other info...no need for GPU-Z unless you want to run it for another reason. This has been the same on pretty much every AMD GPU I have owned including laptops.

Hey guys thanks for the quick answers. So I see the RX460 4gb and the integrated graphics. The integrated graphics (AMD Radeon R5 Graphics) is set to Primary at the moment. To make the RX460 my primary, would I be able to do so in the Radeon Settings?

Thanks.

Generally you select the first GPU to boot in the motherboards BIOS...
