AutoCAD 2017 not using Dedicated AMD graphics processor

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 15:21:29 GMT

AutoCAD 2017 in my notebook shows video card "intel Graphics 5500" instead of AMD Radeon R7 M260X.

AutoCAD 2017 gets very slow in 3d drawing and modeling modes.

Please guide me how to configure AutoCAD 2017 to Use AMD GPU instead of Intel.

The high performance setting in AMD Switchable Graphics didn't work. The performance is still the same.

Change your Laptop power setting to "High Performance" and see if that helps

I have already changed the AMD Settings to max performance but it didn't work.

one thing worked though. In the BIOS I changed the "video memory size" to 256 MB.

AutoCAD now works better now but is still lagging in performance.

I tried the "High Performance" battery settings along with the "Max Performance" setting in the "AMD Additional Settings" window but the performance stayed the same as the video card in graphics performance window is still Intel HD Graphics.
