Sheesh - if I could avoid windows 10 I'd do it at ANY cost - it's just that Alienware is cramming the exact same hardware in their laptop as in their desktop - it's a screamin fast rig when I get the kinks worked out.

Today I found an Intel Graphics control panel that also has custom profiles - and the AMD Radeon has a asterist next to it with a system report that it reported an error and has been disabled.  So i'm going to get on the phone with Dell dedicated support and see if they can get it worked out.  Will report the changes and steps.

Many thanks to all for the answers that are leaving here, are very useful to be able to make a decision on whether or not to install this plate

In my last Windows machine - yea I could set the graphics card from the card driver source - there doens't seem to be a setting from the "AMD Settings" app. 

So I went to the device manager and right click - disable - and reboot.  After reboot - Adobe Premier shows the OpenGL card - but won't play any video in preview or timeline - flat white screen!

i think there are a few threads with the white screen problem, no clear solution from what i have seen.

Adobe Premier Pro CC showing White Screen

several possible solutions in that thread, but this one looks like it helped a few people Re: Adobe Premier Pro CC showing White Screen

some issues with dual monitors too Dual Monitor in Premiere Pro CC

you could also try FAQ: How to clean media cache files?

too many bugs with premiere for me to follow all of them, if those don't help you can also search the main premiere forum for more possible solutions   Adobe Forums: Premiere Pro - query=white+screen​

    I just purchased an Alienware laptop with the AMD Radeon™ RX 470 8GB and I'm getting a greyed out playback engine in Premier  - and the no-effect timeline...any pointers on where to correct Premier?

        the rx 470 should be compatible with adobe software. as far as performance, i've seen some posts and youtube video's where people are comparing the rx 480 vs gtx 1060, and the rx 480 was able to keep up with the nvidia card fine. so the rx 470 (which is a cut down rx 480) should work ok too. the rx 470 is one of the best cards for value, the gtx 1060 is 50% more but no where near 50% faster. one consideration is if you have any cuda only software, which will require a nvidia card.

          Were any of those comparisons CUDA based?

          as far as i know/remember, the amd cards were using opencl and the nvidia cards were using cuda...

          Until some one test it, it is hard to know how good or bad it is.  It apparently supports OpenCL 2.2 which Adobe Premiere probably can use, we know it supported 2.0 and I tested one of those so in theory OpenCL 2.2 should also work, maybe even better.  But the memory clock (1650 MHz, 6600 MHz effective) and memory bandwidth (211 GB/second)  are on the low end of current cards.  For only $70 more you could have an absolutely great GTX 1060 (EVGA 06G-P4-6163-KR) which runs the CUDA software which is faster than the OpenCL software and I am running (overclocked) at 9600 MHz effective and a memory bandwidth of 240 GB/s   And it works great
