      When the game is launched it will consistently use the lower powered "Intel HD 530" (Confirmed in bottom right of F3 menu) graphics processor instead of AMD GPU. All drivers have been fully updated and checked. All optimizations such as AMD's "gaming evolved app" and "Crimsion" have been checked, although Radeon's settings does not recognize Minecraft as a game automatically and when the "Javaw" file that is the running game according to task manager can be added manually, it is recognized as "Starwars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" for some reason (lol), still doesn't do anything different. All throttling settings such as power consumption and saving as well as thermal has been confirmed not to be the issue. I have attempted modifying open GL or Cl I can't remember to force usage on the AMD graphics processor, did not work. Although game is playable when running on 8 cores on an i7, I'd prefer to keep other things open such as my voice chat or google chrome without having stuttering in game and be able to run at max settings without lag.
