how did everyone fix this? in bios I have no display option to fix it on amd. in direct x onboard is currently enabled. Hey bro I have the exact same problem as everyone else. Why even sell the models with the AMD GPU, if the Intel GPU surpasses it in every aspect if we're using the latest updates? Are we entitled to some kind of compensation from Lenovo, since the models with the AMD GPU cost more? There must be a huge issue if Lenovo gave us an update that made the AMD GPU literally useless. I tried reverting the bios version to version 1.13, which improved StarCraft 2 performance, making the AMD GPU better than the Intel GPU. I tried installing several different drivers for the AMD GPU, but it didn't help. ( Click here to see my Reddit comment with benchmark results) However, when I tried running benchmarks, the AMD GPU got better results (as it should) than the Intel GPU, despite performing worse in all games. In the game 'Osu!' the AMD GPU is used at 100%, but input lag is present and it runs at ~100FPS, while the Intel GPU runs it at >200FPS easily. In games like 'League of Legends' and 'StarCraft 2' the AMD GPU seemed to be throttled (either by constantly not running at 100% or having consistent, massive peformance drops every 3 seconds), despite NOT overheating (was running at 55 C). I tried all possible performance settings, but the Intel GPU always outperforms the AMD GPU in games. Same problem here, I have the Lenovo ThinkPad E580 with AMD Radeon RX 550. Hopefully someone will find a way to fix it! I have no idea who else is having this issue (it seems to me that it should have a simple fix like completely turning off integrated graphics). When I launch a game the performance is even worse and in task manager I can see that the RX 550 still isn't being utilised and is just sitting there. Messing with the intel or amd command center has no obvious affects aswell. I have tried disabling integrated graphics but with no effect. It seems that the integrated Intel GPU wants to bear all the graphics load instead of utilising the RX550.

Although I can't use the dedicated graphics, at least I get constant fps and can play decently as the integrated GPU manages better the heat. What I did in order to obtain decent performances was to disable Radeon's GPU drivers. Perhaps, in your case, your laptop is using Radeon graphics in-game but due to overheating it is constantly disabling it, so when you inspect resource utilization with the task manager it seems like Radeon GPU is idle.

However, this happened to me with very few games and is not what most bothers me. I also have experienced that with some games the laptop uses Intel GPU instead of Radeon without any option to switch.
