How to switch from integrated intel video card to ati radeon video card in inspiron 14Z (5423)?
HI all!
i did it in device manger but the ATI video card doesn´t work properly. in fact it says there are no display drivers for the selected Video card.
Also i tried to download the latest drivers from AMD, but it shows me a message saying that my video card isnt supported.
any tip or workaround would be appreciated.
thank you in advance.
Marco.

Hi Macro,
You can update AMD driver from the link mentioned below:
In case you do not get prompts on the screen for instructions, then
There are two modes in Catalyst Control Center: 'Power saving' and 'High Performance'. If 'Power saving' is selected for an application, then it uses Intel graphics card. If 'High Performance' is selected for an application, it automatically uses the AMD Radeon graphics card. You can configure it according to your preference. It is advisable that you choose 'High Performance' for application which uses more memory like games etc.
Here’s how you can configure it:
The below mentioned applications only work with Integrated (Intel) video card. It is an expected behavior of AMD graphics card :
For more details, you can also refer to the attached file http://en.community.dell.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/3519/7848.AMD-limitations.pdf
Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Appu,
That is a wonderful guide. But even after switching the application 3DMark 11 to High performance, the application is running with Intel HD graphics 4000. I don't know why this is happening. I tried running the application with battery and on power plugged in, It gave me the same result. I tried rebooting the machine after non battery mode.that also did not help.Please help. I bought the laptop 2 weeks back.
Thanks in advance,

hi.. if you wont to be sure that ur AMD GPU is already running go to device manger and disable it and try to open a heavy 3D game and u will notice that the game will not open,
there is just a problem in figure out this GPU in the such 3DMark or the Subscore test
i have the same problem and i asked my self the same questions but when i search a little bit i found that the Intel 4000 HD graphics cant open the Hitman Absolution even in the low settings in the time i play it in the medium high settings.
and you can download the game-debate game checker from there website ,, this little program know every thing :)

Hi Heqmatyar,
Inspiron 5423/14z is shipped with an integrated Intel HD graphics or an optional discrete video card. The discrete video card needs to be selected at the time of purchase. If you chose ATI Radeon card at the time of purchase, it will show up in Device manager. If you didn't choose the discrete card, then it would only show as Intel HD graphics in Device Manager.
You can check the system specifications online. Click on this link http://dell.to/11iojrK -> type the service tag of the computer -> click on System Configuration -> Original Configuration. Look for the Radeon or Intel.
Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Heqmatyar,
Dell does not support or recommend overclocking for this system. Overclocking may cause irreversible instability to the system. You may try to overclock it at your own discretion.

Hi Dell-APPU S,
I too have the 14z with Intel HD Graphics and I was wondering if it is possible to just buy the ATI card and install it now... or is the model which you order with the ATI card altogether different?
Thanks
