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.I tried going to hp support and getting driver. I tried getting 6490m 3rd party driver. I checked my bios to set default gpu no advanced option closed bios.

When upgrading windows 7 to windows 8, it's recommended by MS to update the BIOS. This should solve your problem.

I will try what u suggested but read below and read everything.

I just got a driver from here: Link Removed

The system recognizes as a proper 6400m card catalyst is there but when you open catalyst you can do nothing no settings like switchable graphics and stuff and battlefield 4 says hd 3000 gpu and doesn't work and still only direct x9 in game options.

You need to visit your PC's website and follow there instructions...as each PC vendor updates/installs BIOS differently. Now days it's a more universal and less problematic and catastrophic.

Hi
Before you install would reecommend to un-install the AMD radeon drivers restart the system.
STEP #1 : Install the Intel drivers for your System
STEP #2 : Install the AMD Radeon Drivers
