I have HP-DV6 3110tx laptop with Mobility Raedon 5650 dGP. Initially when i installed Win8 only the iGP works then after googling the problem i found a updated driver. After installing it ,dGP works but again a new problem arises that I cann't switch back to iGP.

I'm using http://www2.ati.com/Drivers/mobile/12-10_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql_net4.exe

I found it here:http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-drivers-software-forum/486908-drivers-hp-dv6-3xxx-dv7-4xxx-envy-17-1xxx-intel.html

But this doesn't really fix the problem because the reference drivers do not include an Intel counterpart. In my case, that means that brightness controls do not work and i can't switch back to IGP.i.e. it runs dGP only

From reports on the internet it appears there is no support for switching IGP and discrete graphics on Windows 8 yet.One work-around for NVIDIA Optimus is to install IGP driver first, then the GPU driver.Boot into Safe Mode and disable the discrete GPU within Device ManagerReboot into Windows- activate the GPU whenever you need it within Device Manager- deactivate the GPU before shutting down Windows** otherwise your screen will stay black on next boot and you need to go into Safe Mode again to deactivate the GPUMaybe the same works for IGP and ATI combination

Yes, I am currently using this method to switch ..but with ATI my screen doesn't goes black on next boot if i leave dGP or iGP enabled. To use dGP i have to enable both and to use iGP i have to disable the dGP.
