I already have the graphics card installed and the vga switch card on the secondary slot. I know you can disable it on the bios but when i'm in the igp controller i have no clue how to. Can anyone explain it to me please I'm dying to play some games
In your BIOS there may be a setting under integrated peripherals to use either the onboard VGA or PCIE, not all motherboards automatically disable the onboard VGA if a discrete card is plugged in.
In the IGP section, you probably have to use your arrow keys to highlight it, then press enter. After that you should be able to change the setting using the arrow keys again.
Bios's are still a black art...and I'd be amazed if that was why it wasn't working. Be warned, if you switch of the IGP and the graphics card isn't working, you are now into reset-bios territory, and there is no way I'm gonna explain that one lol.
It can't use the IGP if nothing is connected to it.
Take the HDMI cable out of the IGP slot.
nothing was connected to it. the card is a 768mb gtx 460 by galaxy. do you think the mobo needs a bios update to support the card because im guessing the gtx 460 came out after the the mobo or am i wrong. im banging my head now because of this
