When I need to guess: You'r CPU is an Intel with integrated graphics.

Thus chose the AMD video adapter.

I understand, the option should be there before you launch the game, eg. right click the shortcur for the game and see if you have the option to run it using a specific videocard.

That option is not available on every game .. if you are using amd or nvidia.. both have an application installed with your driver . Open that and check an option called switchable display
