Question / Help Laptop(Changable video card)- Settings - Video Adapter

[crashzjee]

Hi there.
So basicly my problem is really simple i have a laptop (Dell inspiron 7520) With an AMD 7730M Graphic Card also, there is the Intel HD4000 in the laptop. All the drivers are installed and it works well.

BUT when i want to stream i go to settings->video-> Video Adapter and there i can't choose the AMD card there is only opportunity for the IntelHD4000. How can i fix this problem?

Close OBS right click anywhere on your desktop and click "AMD switchable graphics" browse to your the current OBS Directory then add the executable and set it to run on high performance mode, press apply and that should do it.

i did it but, still the same problem :/

Did you add the right directory ? there's one for 32bit and one for the 64bit platform make you pick the right directory.. if you usually launch obs from the desktop shortcut then you can add that instead.. What problem are you experiencing exactly?

Well, now i can see there is one for 32 and one for 64bit but i just added OBS from the destkop and there is still only Intel HD4000 as video adapter and cant change it. Even if i add it as 64bit and set High Performance mode even if i do the same as 32bit version... :S

Well, radeon based laptops are incredibly problematic, and you have to use window capture with "compatibility mode" checked. This is unfortunately not a super efficient capture method.

thanks, actually that helped. But uhm. So actually im not able to capture my monitor? I can only capture window? Just cuz i can't chose compatibility mode when i want to capture monitor and also i cant use my first VGA.?

Yea, unfortunately radeon laptops just have quite a few issues when capturing. If you're on windows 7 you can capture the monitor with aero off and "compatibility mode" enabled, but windows 8+ just often cannot capture the monitor at all. Game capture often doesn't work on radeon laptops either. The only real option is window capture with "compatibility mode".
