Hi!
I upgraded to windows 8 and cannot make 7730M work when needed. I upgraded bios to A09, downloaded latest video drivers from dell support website.
After video drivers installation there is no Catalyst Control Center nor Switchable Graphics links nor menu items. Thereby I cannot set explicitly what video card will be used by what processes. Still I realized that I can play some games, e.g. Need For Speed Most Wanted. This game definitely uses 7730M since performance is high and AMD tools (http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/amd-system-monitor/Pages/overview.aspx) shows 7730M GPU load.
On the other hand, games like World of Tanks or Far Cry 3 rebuff using 7730M - performance is poor and AMD tool shows zero GPU usage.
Please help: fix drivers to get back Switchable Graphics OR give us options always use dedicated GPU OR give us registry key that will instruct system to use 7730M for particular process. Any solution that will give control over 7730M will be fine.
Thanks,
Stas
