I might be wrong, but since when can people change their default video card inside a game?
You have to launch Steam with your AMD card from the beginning.

I dont know if your meant to "change" it in the options but it does show a graphic adapter option.

Well, that's not common.
But don't forget, SteamPlay works through Wine, so it probably won't see everything on your system as they are. Start the Steam client with the AMD card and it should work this way.

How do I go about doing that.

Open Terminal: DRI_PRIME=1 steam
This should do the trick.

This does make the game see my Graphics Card. But its still running at like 5 fps, if that. My laptop should have no problem running the game spec wise(and didnt have any problems on windows). Any performance ideas? Also That command has to be entered every time I start steam. Any way I can make steam launch automatically with those settings without putting the command in the terminal?

Also, when I try to close the game it freezes up my computer. I have to CRL ALT DELETE and logoff to fix it.

Skyrim always freezes on close, though it's never frozen the whole computer for me. I just switch workspaces and start up system monitor or the terminal and kill it from there.

Well, you haven't told us what graphics card you have and what system you use. Low FPS and freezes can mean many things.

I tried but my mouse also disappears. So im only able to log off with using arrow keys.

Yes sorry about that here are my specs.

OS: Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa x86_64
DE: Cinnamon 4.0.9
CPU: Intel i7-3635QM (8) @ 3.400GHz
GPU: Intel Ivybridge Mobile
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8750M
Memory: 4174MiB / 7861MiB

First thing to do would be to use Padoka Mesa stable ppa. If you know how to do it.
