I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6121se Link Removed i recently upgraded to windows 8 pro and my games got slower and in game options i could only select directx 9 until later i got battlefield 4 and it says gpu cant buffer frame and it said gpu was intel hd 3000 i checked system info and saw it recognized my hd 6400m series card as 7400m series this wasnt right because i had 6400m as hp said in its page and in win7 the catalyst software was there but it is not there now. so i downloaded win8 driver from this page Link Removed but nothing worked.

Can you enter the bios and see if there is a setting for making the add in card/GPU as default or turning off the graphics on the CPU.

Normally laptop drivers are provided by the manufacturer. I notice on your lappies support page only Windows 7 driver is available. I would still give that a try though but first right click it, choose properties and then compatibility. Change to win 7 and hopefully you should be ok.

Ok I will check and I forgot to say in the catalyst software I can't do any settings it only says display no other tabs like power switchable graphics.
