GPU-Z is not recognising AMD Radeon HD 8850M

I have a Dell laptop with an AMD Radeon HD 8850M (Catalyst Mobility 13.11 beta 9.2 x64) GPU and Intel HD Graphics 4400 (with latest drivers installed), and this is what I see in GPU-Z:



I set GPU-Z executable to run with high perfomance in Catalyst Control Center, in order to try to force activating the GPU instead of integrated graphics. In Power Options, I created a "Perfomance" power scheme, in which "ATI PowerPlay" and "High Perfomance" varaibles are set to "maximize perfomance":



Is there anything I can do to have GPU-Z correctly identify the GPU or is it an issue inherent of AMD drivers? Thanks in advance.

Info:

notebook: Dell Inspiron 15R-5537
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
CPU: Intel core i5-4200U
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8850M GDDR5

This is really weird, it should be supported. I'm sorry but I have no real idea how you should fix this.
Maybe install a non-beta driver (though, afaik drivers don't have anything to do with it...)
Main thing why I post on this thread is a bit offtopic, but I'm looking to buy (almost) the same laptop. Would you be so kind as to post/pm a small review or some FPS results? Thanks in advance! :D
