How can i choose the HD7970M card insted of the Intel HD 4000?
or do they work together in a way? tried a bechmark test but just the intel card shows up...?

go to the graphics card settings by right clicking the desktop and choose your 7970m to be used every time or when you play games.

i can only chose high for one program at time, how can i make it use my card all the time?

Anders sounds norwegian?
Anyways thats my problem to..
Tried the device manager but if i turn one of them off the format goes wack.. and i cant do it in the bios either it seems.

Norsk ja! :D

vi hjar det samma problemet skjønner jeg :) ser ikke ut som om 7970 kortet dukker opp noe sted uansett hva jeg gjør..

ikke for meg heller, får ikke satt til å bruke 7970m må liksom gå in på hvert eneste program noe som er veldig tongvint!

pussig det der.. må da gå ann å velge.
var inn på bios for å se om det gikk ann å slå av en av kortene men ser ikke ut som om der er mulig der.
inne på enhetsbehandlig så går det ann men da blir oppløsningen feil.

Was going to help...then couldn't understand. :)

Props to you guys for finding similar languages, but if you still need help, post another English reply here haha.

yep stil need help, we cant set it to run as the 7970, we cant find any other solution than changing each program to even high or low setting, pleas help.

Sry about that :)
well havent found an answer to the problem yet so feel free.. it seems that the Intel HD 4000 graphic card is the "Master" card if i cant put it that way.. and the HD7970M run as a slave card only when u ask it to.. i want to run the 7970M fulltime. right click on desktop dosent give me the option to do so.

There should be an option in the BIOS to disable the HD 4000, unless Dell alienware did not make that an option.

No option in the bios as far as i can see.. no edit options on that page besides date etc..

No, there is no option to completely disable intel 4000. Try pressing Fn+F7 or another function button to switch between graphic cards. Thats basically all you need to do. Make sure it is in high performance graphic mode.
For that to work you must be plugged in, gaming on battery power is not an option.

Seems like it did the trick.. thx :) just have to ajust the resolution.
