Hello,

sorry for my bad english, I am from Germany.

I have a problem to select the right graphic card. I have a Laptop with Two graphic cards:
Intel HD Graphics 4000 and AMD Radeon HD 7970M. I have the newest driver installed.

OBS only find the Intel 4000 graphic card and not my main graphic card.

Can you help me, how i can select the AMD card?

Thank you very much.

Cheers

above is the main thread for switchable graphics, but being you have AMD, you might have to check if there is a tool to add programs to work on the AMD card.

if that doesn't work you will be stuck using window capture with compatibility mode enabled. whcih means only being able to cast windowed or windowed-noborder games.
 
Hello dping,

thanks for your fast answer.

I added OBS.exe in a list and set it on "top performance" i think thats the english translation for Höchstleistung.

And? check back in the video tab of OBS, what does it show? you might also have to add the 64bit version of OBS located in c:\program files\OBS. the 32bit version is in program files (x86)\OBS.

It showsonly the Intel HD 4000 graphiccard. :/

Any other idea, maybe?

Thanks for your time and help.

Well something isn't right. go back through all the different things you did and ensure everything is pointed and done properly. dont assume, you might be changing settings in the wrong spot. Maybe there is some software that switches the graphics other than the AMD Catalysis Control Center
 
The AMD card will never show on laptops that use the switchable graphics system. Your only option is window capture and compatibility mode checked in it's settings.
