Using the computer
Using AMD Graphics Effectively (optional)
PowerXpress is Switchable Graphics technology that selectively
enables either the internal or external graphics chipset depending
on the program to extend the battery life time while maintaining
the graphics performance.
This technology uses the internal graphics by default to reduce
battery consumption and switches to the external graphics when
the user uses some program functions that require a high graphics
performance such as games and playing videos.
This description is only for Windows 8 and models with •
AMD PowerXpress technology.
