NOW AVAILABLE: ENVY 17-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7850M)

For the life of me I still can't figure out what is missing to get this working.

Switchable Graphics Setting


Unofficial OC enabled


Afterburner Settings (Kernal mode did not make a difference)


No dice


Catalyst 12.6 beta driver installed (driver version 9.0.0.0)

Profile set to maximum performance.

When I run Kombustor it properly uses the 7850m instead of the 4000.

For me setting it to high performance isn't enough. I have to open another 3d app for it to work properly. Did you try that? First open another app, then open Afterburner.

Here's Afterburner running AFTER I ran Super Meat Boy. You can see it's detecting the proper 7850m clock speeds on the right. I just can't set anything on the left. Still reads 0/0.

It the the APPLICATION in which you want to OC, that needs to be set to High Performance and started FIRST... Not MSIAfterburner itself... For my WinAmp example, you NEED to startup WinAmp and THEN the visualization BEFORE the 7850 takes control (merely starting WinAmp was NOT enough... I needed to actually start up the visualization). You can then start MSIAfterburner and it should work.

7. Disable ULPS:
Go to regedit (start > search programs and files > "regedit").
In drop down menu: find file > type "enableulps".
For ALL instances (keep pressing F3) change the "1" value to a "0".
Reboot PC.

That's exactly what I did. I started Super Meat Boy first. Then launched Afterburner. Afterburn picks up the GPU's clock speed correctly in my screenshot. I just can't adjust anything.
