Dell Inspiron N4050 ATI Radeon is not detected
After using my Dell laptop for sometimes, i just found out that my laptop should have the AMD ATI Radeon HD6470M in it, so i tried to install the graphic driver for it. I acknowledge that there's more than one version of Dell Inspiron N4050, but i have the one with Intel Core i5-2410m in it, which it should have the AMD ATI Radeon HD6470M in it. Looked up the Device Manager only to found out that i only have the intel HD 3000 Graphics which is not compatible with games nowadays, even those games that requires a little on VGA. How can i get the AMD ATI Radeon HD6470M in my Dell Inspiron N4050.
Thanks in advance.

If you have an Intel GPU, you have only that - it's either-or -- either you have Intel or you have ATI/AMD. The AMD GPU was optional at purchase - it can't be added other than by replacing the system board with one that has the AMD GPU. You'll also need to replace the heatsink assembly -- and if you have a 65W power supply, you will need a 90W or 130W replacement as well.
