Can I do anything about PR using the low-power GPU in my laptop?

Currently having an issue with PR that other games don't have on my Laptop, and i wonder if anyone's got any ideas to deal with it.

the long-story-short is that PR seems to exclusively use my GPU0, a 2GB Intel HD Graphics 4600, rather than the far more powerful GPU 1, a 8GB AMD Radeon HD 8790M. On all more modern games on my system, it defaults to GPU 1, and i have all my power setting in Windows 10 set to 'best performance' and everything. PR2 never seems to want to use the AMD GPU, just the intel HD Graphics. any ideas? the laptop is a Dell Latitude E6540 btw.

1. Open the "Control Center".
2. Select "Manage 3D Settings" under 3D Settings.
3. Click on the "Program Settings" tab and select the program you want to choose a graphics card for from the drop down list.
4. Now select "preferred graphics processor" in the drop down list. (You can see what the automatic option is listed as global setting) If you want to use the dedicated graphics card, select High-performance AMD processor.
