I have NVIDIA and Win 7. But I am also seeing my display adapter control panel listed under Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization, though I usually r-click on desktop to access it.
If you aren’t seeing anything still, have you gone to AMD to download?
No, maybe we got something wrong. i can see the graphic Adapter in the Control-panel-menue and it is installed but I can´t see which individual programme is using either the AMD Radeon or the Intel-grafic like you asked before.
…so i don´t think i have to download anything, do i?
Then can you open the Radeon control panel and does it look like the image starting with this post Components aren't cooperating - #16 by rboppy? If so, scroll down that thread to see more image and suggestions on getting to the right menu page. The menu design isn’t very user-friendly.
That’s why I wonder if the Radeon software is installed. The computer may only have the Radeon driver. You may need to download the controlling software from AMD. I don’t know if it’s possible to control which graphic adapter the computer is using without it.
download the latest AMD driver for your TP E460 provided by Lenovo from their support page or use the probably pre-installed Lenovo support tool ‘ThinkVantage System Update’ for updating drivers and applications of the system.
I couldn´t reply for a few days, because I had to change the pc - there was a problem with the ventilator. Now I got a new TP E460, already installed the latest AMD Driver (non-whql-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.3.1-win10-win8.1-win7-march16) and finaly have access to the Radeon control panel like we have seen above.
Yes, it is:
The SU-sub-menue (I know it´s in german, but I hope it´s helpful anyway - I think some of the terms are quite simmilar in english or even inherited):
I received the PC today and havent had much time to try it out but until now and after a few minutes using SU, i have to say that i have the impression that it isn´t running so smooth than before (it stutters and jerks a little bit). Do you think it might be because of the new driver version?
What sticks out is the setting for OpenGL-Dreifachpufferung. Ideally, the OpenGL work should be done by the AMD card when running SketchUp. It’s disabled?
There is a known problem with a 64-bit AMD crimson graphics driver. If changing the OpenGL setting in the AMD Radeon control panel doesn’t help, the “fix” to get around the 64-bit driver bugs that affect SU is to install the 32-bit version of SU.
When installing SU, r-click on the SU installer and choose “Run as Administrator.”
