Yes. In most games there should be an option to what GPU you want to use, then use the dedicated one.

oh nice . but can i disable the onboard gpu completely from the bios or any thing like that . and just use the dedicated gpu ?

thanks for the reply

No, i don't think you can.

Someone with more expeirience with apu might be able to answer you though

It's possible to do it through th AMD Catalyst drivers but honestly it has some problems with game in my experience with my APU machine. The onboard Video can be crossfired with the onboard Video under the CrossfireX option but can also be disabled not copletely wiped from bios
