AMD 530 is not usable .. i can't use it
my laptop is lenovo ideapad 320 MBD: Lenovo 81BT Core i5 8250U , intel hd620 , amd 530
CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Mobile Kaby Lake R)
HDD: WD WD10SPZX-00HKTT0 1TB
RAM: Samsung M471A5244CB0-CRC 2x4GB


i have the driver of my amd 530 installed correctly clean install using Radeon Software Version 19.4.1
but actually i cannot use it .. all games use intel hd .. all benchmark tests dont even see the amd 530 ..
i paid some more $$ to buy a laptop with a dedicated GPU and now i cant even use it and it's completely useless i dont even know why they put it ..
am i doing something wrong ? or what's wrong ??

Why did you do a clean install of graphics drivers, was there a problem?
I'd suggest going to the Lenovo website and downloading graphics drivers directly from them only.

You need to use the driver from lenovo period.

Also make sure you have the chipset driver from them and the igp driver for the cpu too.

What about this tab?

That switchable graphics tab too...

i meant to say this because everytime i got an advice to reinstall the driver a clean install .. this time it was a new windows i just installed it ..
now i downloaded the driver from lenovo official page and it's older driver .. AMD and Intel ...
nothing changed it's the same and i lost some tabs in the software ..
userbenchmark test still skip the AMD GPU
and Novabench just ignore it ..
Pes 2013 just thinks that my GPU Vram is 128mb.

A sad story , bro !!

Drivers for laptops are proprietary, ask lenovo for assistance.

*Used to be at least for older AMD. They are finally jumping over OEMs and slowly but finally providing mobile support in their regular package for current products. I may be slightly ahead of myself but this is the way it will be moving forward.
