Eh? Why's the AGP option there in the BIOS then? Must be for the IGP then I guess. Anyways, change it to PCI and try again.

Can you try moving the card to another PCI slot?

I don't have any PCs with integrated graphics so I'm not sure where in the BIOS to look to disable it.

I don't think there is anything to worry about between S3 or S1. It's your preference. I usually set mine to S3.

Go into Device Manager and under Display Adapters, disable the integrated graphics adapter. That should do the trick, although I don't think it's completely necessary. Good luck and enjoy the new card!

thanks ^^ upgrading from intergrated has made me very happy. even though its an old card, it still lets me play css and hl2 without lag. =D the second slot did the trick, i think the first one may have been faulty. but its good to be able to game now ^^

I don't think you need to, just put your new card in and remove any drivers you installed for your integrated card. What I do think you should do is start your own post (if my suggestion doesn't work) and stop jacking this person's two year old post.

also, could someone give me a quick guide, just so as i can get it straightened out a bit in my head

thanks alot,lol. the guides on the net confuse me =[
Yes, you can have both cards being used at once.
Leave the one you have in now in until you're 100% positive the new card works.
Once you're sure the new card works, you can remove it.
Make sure you test the drivers.


Good luck!

Intergrated means it is built into the motherboard, the chip is set in the motherboard, if you remove it chances are you will fudge the motherboard.

You have to unistall the drivers for the intergrated graphics then restart the computer and disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS.

I'm not sure what computer you have but if you just keep pressing the delete button on your keyboard as soon as you switch the computer on you should get into the BIOS. Try and look for something called integrated peripherals in there, it should be inside there, something about onboard graphics. DO NOT TOUCH OR ALTER OTHER SETTINGS OR YOU CAN SCREW YOUR COMPUTER!
Actually, integrated means it came standard on that motherboard with all drivers already installed and updated. Doesn't neccessarily mean it's attached to the motherboard itself.

Most integrated graphics cards are part of the motherboard, as far as I know.

Some of the newer computers will say "Integrated graphics" on the box, but it actually has a graphics card in one of the PCI or AGP slots, possibly a PCI-E slot, I worked on one for someone that they said they never put anything custom in it and it was store bought from best buy and it had a AGP Graphics card. I'm just using this as an example.
