Hello,

I recently took delivery of a 16inch MacBook Pro with the 2.4ghz i9, 64 GB of ram, and the the Radeon pro 5500M graphics with 8GB of ram. I set up the Mac OS side with my normal array of CAD and adobe products, and then downloaded the image file so that I can do the windows partition and download through boot camp.
I ran the boot camp process and was able to successfully get windows running. However, I am running into the issue where windows doesn’t seem to recognize the Radeon graphics card as being installed in the MacBook. When I right click on the home screen, I don’t see any AMD catalyst option pop up, and when I go into the devices manager through the control panel, the amd card isn’t showing under the display hardware, just the intel graphics.
I have tried to find solutions online, but to no avail. I’m a landscape architect and I’m trying to run Lumion on my MacBook Pro given that the 5500m is comparable to the dell XPS I just got rid of, but that program only runs on windows.
Please help!
 
I'm no expert but it sure seems like bootcamp didn't install the amd driver properly. What I would do is boot back into macos and open the bootcamp utility. In the menus there is an option to download the windows support software. Download that to a usb key or other device that is accessible in Windows. In the downloaded package is the amd driver for windows. Try reinstalling it.
