How to get 7970m to kick in?

[TranceCommunity]

Having a bit of a problem here.

When i look at benchmarks for the 7970m on Starcraft 2 i see 90fps etc on Ultra.

When i play it i get 15fps on Ultra. Pretty sure its using the Intel 4000 graphics.

How do i get it to use the 7970m instead.

This happens across a lot of software. 3Dmark, Windows experience etc..

Laptop first came with a program that i think could do it but ive installed Windows 7 and cant find that program again.

Thanks in Advance.

edit - Solution in second post.

I figured it out.

Install VGA section from CD BUT go to custom install and untick the box for AMD drivers. Install all the other software.

When you run a Game for the first time just quit it and there will be a popup asking what Graphics card you want to use hidden behind.

Put the game to High Performance and it should be good to go.

So basically install newest Drivers from AMD website but all other software from CD.

Install AMD's new driver, then once installed click on the catalyst control center and where it says switchable graphics select "application settings". Then use the control center to select games and software you want your 7970m to run. High performance is the one to choose for all your games Here's the link for the new driver:
