A game I'm trying to play won't detect the R8 profile and thus won't list it among the available options (in-game menu).
I first opened the AMD Radeon control panel, went to System > Switchable graphics and set the game in question on "high performance". The game still wouldn't detect the (then) R7 graphics, only the R5. I looked the issue up and saw many people suggesting to update the drivers first, so I did just that: R5 was already ok, R7 was automatically upgraded to R8.
Still, the game won't detect it. On top of that, after such upgrade the "Switchable graphisc" tab has disappeared from the AMD Radeon control panel.

Thanks in advance for your time and availability.
