oh, btw, in the BIOS i changed the power to s3 from s1. it says s1 was safer but drew more power. should i worry about this?

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! :grinthumb

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.

ok, i need a bit of help here. i got a new graphcis card and i want to install it. i already have intergrated graphics but i got a pci card. the thing is, i know i have to uninstal the old card, but what if the new one doesnt work? i dont have the old drivers. and do i have to remove th intergrated graphics or can i just leave it there on the motehrboard to save a bit of hassle?

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!

NO!! DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO PHYSICALLY REMOVE THE INTERGRATED GRAPHICS!

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.
