Running PCI graphics with onboard graphics

[Deland02]

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to run a PCI graphics card from a PCI slot with an onboard graphics card built onto the motherboard?

If youre referring to onboard graphics on your motherboard, and having a PCI-E slot on your motherboard as well, can you use the PCI-E slot? Thats how they all work. The answer then is yes

 

[Deland02]

By PCI-E do you mean PCI Express?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

yes

 

[Deland02]

Perfect, thanks for that.

Yes, depending on your motherboard. If theres the option to run both onboard and pci in the bios then yes. I have an ECS black edition 8200A that allows me to - At the moment I am running both the onboard Nvidia 8200 and a Radeon HD 6870 PCI E video cards problem free. You must instal display drivers for both and enable the option to "both" in your bios.
