Graphics card?

So, I just got a new laptop with Intel I7 processor and ATI Radeon HD 6770M Graphics. But when I look under display settings, I see that both the "Mobile Intel HD Graphics" and "Radeon HD 6770M" are listed there, and the Intel Graphics is the only one listed under the Dolphin Menu. What's going on? Is the 6770M one still being used?

Try to navigate in to the directory where Dolphin is, right click Dolphin.exe and you should see Run with graphics processor > or something similar. Check which one is set as 'default'.

Ok, I tried that, but that didn't work. I actually found a way to "configure switchable graphics", and I set Dolphin to "High Performance", as opposed to "Power Saving". I'm just not sure if my Radeon graphics are being used. Animal Crossing and Super mario sunshine run perfectly...does that mean its working?

you can use msi after burner or ATI vision engine control center(lol why did they rename this??? catalyst control center was fine) to see GPU usage.

That's just the thing. I set the Dolphin.exe to run on "High Performance", or in other words my high class graphics card. In the "Graphics" menu in Dolphin,, though, only the Intel HD Graphics are an option, no option for ATI Radeon 6770M...but again, Animal Crossing and Super Mario Sunshine run smoothly...does this mean it is working?

i dont know, integrated graphics tend to be shit, try going into your bios and disabling the integrated graphics.
