If I understand you correctly, you're trying to use both your integrated graphics chip and your add-on GPU card at the same time?

That won't work because the the integrated graphics chip is automatically disabled when you install an add-on graphics card, this is necessary to prevent a resource conflict between two similar devices which perform the same task.

That is, unless your BIOS has a setting which allows you to use both GPUs at the same time, a feature found only on certain motherboard models.
