I put everything in high performance except that there is only on my gpu2 the directX 12 and my R5 gpu not.

I think I'll go see a technician to check the connections inside my laptop.

 

Thanks for your help.

Spoiler
Ok so listen this carefoully

First of all, do you have an application called amd catalyist control center? if you do, go to power, powerplay and set everything to max (not always working) then "switchable graphics processor" and here you can select which gpu ur laptop is going to use, after that click apply and done, later on, tell me what driver ur running on and what version of the catalyst.

This is no longer handled by AMD with Windows 10. I showed you where to assign the graphics.

Look in Device Manager / display. Any yellow error marks?

Do you have a option for crossfire in the AMD control panel?

This is the latest driver for your APU...it is the only graphics driver you install. Is this what you used?

 That is strange...do your games play ok using the high performance (no matter what graphics it uses) ? And this 3core business...

They work less well than before when I had access to my gpu2

Try a previous driver.  Make sure you have prevented Microsoft from automatically installing drivers and empty the C:AMD folder of all driver versions. They are not needed and clear up some space. Clean install the drivers if the option comes up. Remember this is the only driver you install, it updates both graphics chips.

The only way possible is using AMD catalyst control center, then go to "power" and switchable gpu, here you can select the apps that will use the high end gpu and the apu ( R5 GPU). IF you can't find it, just browse on the "power" channels and you will surely find it, then add the file ( .exe) file you want to use with high performance and done.

J'ai eu un bug avec mon disque C: windows qui crash constamment alors j'ai changer de disque et j'ai du reboot un windows dessus.

Go to your computer 'Display' option, scroll down to 'Graphics'...there is where you assign the high performance graphics to a game or app.

You should also delete all previous drivers in the C:AMD folder
