my friend has a laptop . the model is NP300E5V-S02IN with win 7 64 bit ULTIMATE.
It has two graphics chips. One from INTEL and other from ATI.
From the provided software by SAMSUNG i have installed the AMD GRAHICS DRIVER. But it is coming as follows.

CPU-Z shows the following

and GPU-Z Shows this

when i am trying to open CATALYST CONTROL CENTRE(CCC) from Desktop it shows:

why is this happening. On running a CRYSIS 3 7 WONDERS VIDEO pics are not upto the mark. it is becoming slightly pixelates in full screen mode with 1366x768 resolution. Any suggestion? i have even tried to install latest driver from DEVICE MANAGER but it says it has already the latest driver.
Samsung must have provided an utility called Software Update with the laptop(if not pre-installed then download from Samsung site). Use this utility to find the latest graphics drivers.
Don't download the ones from Samsung or AMD site. The one on Samsung's site is outdated. Switchable graphics won't work if downloaded from AMD's site.
Yes the given CD with the laptop is SOFTWARE UPDATE where all the required software are given. There are two graphics software.
One is "Graphics Software" and the other is "AMD Graphics Software". I have installed the later with internet on.When it gets installed i found the 1st PIC in Device Manager with the yellow mark. In Tom's HW someone has written that Samsung has disabled the AMD graphics. In BIOS(phoenix) also nothing has been given regarding GRPAHICS CHIPSET.
I read from somewhere(probably Tom's, don't remember exactly) that there is an actual application called "Software Update" that comes as bloatware on Samsung laptops with Windows. Use this application to find and install the latest update. Don't do it from the CD.
the lappy comes with FREE DOS. So i have to install OS SEPARATELY. So the only option left is CD. and when i am running this my internet is on so that it can draw the necessary things from there. The software update version is 2.1.15.1
Is there no user of SAMSUNG lappy with this graphics chip in TDF!!!

Go to the above page. There should be 2 tabs on your left namely "Manuals" and "SW Update". Click on "SW Update" and click on the blue "Download" button that appears. It should download a 21 MB file. Install that and then using that update your video drivers. It should solve your problem.
Also make sure that you install both the AMD drivers and Intel HD drivers, otherwise switchable graphics won't work.
thanks for the info. Now what should be the order of installation for the graphics?
1)INTEL
2)AMD
OR
1)AMD
2)INTEL
the process i am following:
1) unzip SWM
2)install SW UPDATE
3)Install GRAPHICS DRIVER.
4)RESTART
5)Install AMD GRAPHICS DRIVER.
RESTART.
Thanks. while installing should my internet remain on?
its not about HARM or NO HARM, i am just confirming the process. ok, i have started. will let u know once it is finished.
installed. following are the updates:
1)

now what to do? i mean how to activate the AMD GRAPHICS?
Status updated
Well now it seems to be working so congrats! To use the AMD GPU kindly click on "Configure Switchable Graphics". Browse and select on the *.exe of the program you want to run and make sure it is set to High Performance mode.
Thanks for the support.
So that means it will not always use AMD GRAPHICS by default from START to SHUTDOWN for everything like a desktop.
Yes that's how most laptops operate these days. Switchable graphics from AMD and Optimus from nVidia. They help save battery life and power consumption and prevent heating by using the GPU just for the things that require a discrete GPU.
ok. thanks from my friend's end also.
No problem. Glad I could be of help. If possible do post some gaming benchmarks.
bro i am interested in buying this same laptop which your friend has but couldn't find any review

the option for vista is disabled, checked "run as admin".

OP, please make sure you have installed DirectX 9 latest runtime (June, 2010) version and all the Visual C++ versions (both x86 and x64 versions). And regarding switchable Graphics, it should automatically activate the dedicated GPU once any graphics intensive task is fired. However, in the AMD control panel, under the Configure Switchable Graphics option, you can manually add the executables and assign any of the the available GPUs (either HD 3000 or HD 8750M) to it to make it an obvious thing. For any games, it should be the dedicated GPU, to be selected under that configuration to make sure it will always run on AMD GPU.
However, these mobility versions of the Drivers actually disable a lot of features available in their desktop version for compatibility and stability issues as different vendors use different settings for same mobility GPU. For Intel CPU + AMD GPU based Laptops, there are plenty of Modded drivers available which can unlock all those features and provide better performance.
Leshcat’s Catalyst UnifL Catalyst drivers are currently the best for Intel + AMD GPU combination. Download the latest 13.6 Beta 2 Modded driver form here: *leshcatlabs.net/
