    I just bought my new Acer Aspire 7750G laptop.
    When I try running games on it the Graphics Adapter option only displays the Intel HD card and not the 6650M Radeon card.
    The laptop uses switchable graphics. Does anyone know a way around this?

    Manufacturers like Acer quite often have varying vendors when it comes to the hardware inside your machine. So if a popular machine is touted as having Radeon graphics then there is a small chance that It's a particular variant of a model. This is why I always check specs on computer hardware before purchase.

    Unfortunately it sounds like yours has the lesser Intel graphics instead of the Radeon chip you wanted. In laptops It's pretty much impossible to upgrade the graphics and CPU, so you might want to return it as not as advertised in the hope of having it replaced with the Radeon variant. If It's a PC on the other hand, you could always upgrade the PCI-E graphics to something better
