Problem with graphics card

[kalpesh]

Hello friends,
I bought HP dv6 6154tx laptop before 5 months
config:
intel core i5 2430M
ati radeon hd 6490M (GDDR5)
740 gb hdd
4gb ram (DDR3)

I was playing some graphics hungry games and they were running fluently
but problem starts arising from last month
I use catalyst control center to switch between on board and discrete graphics
after switching to discrete mode, sometimes games run smoothly and sometimes frame rate becomes too low to play game, really frustrating
any solutions for this?
does the catalyst control center unable to switch properly?

Can you specify which game it is and which version of drivers are you running?

Can you specify which game it is and which version of drivers are you running?

battlefield 3, COD MW3, DIRT 3, Skyrim (every game I play)
I've updated my graphics driver before a week
