Question

How do you get DirectX 11 to display both video cards?

by Jan 7, 2012 9:27AM PST

I have a HP Pavilion DV7T... It came with 2 video cards, an intel integrated card to save battery life, and a kick $%^ Radeon card for games.
The problem is, when running Skyrim the game looks for the video card listed in DirectX. My Radeon card is working, but not showing up in the dxdiag.
Anyone know how to get the Radeon card, or both, to show up on the dxdiag?
I have unistalled and re-installed the card. I have the most recent drivers, and tried older ones. Both cards show up in the Device Manager, the integrated card is listed first.
