HAHA cheers guys, slight problem, when I go to system requirement labs and check a game I fail as I have no "dedicated video ram" Im assuming this is because the intergrated graphics are on but I dont know how to change them to my graphics card, any ideas?

You should have a setting in the Bios. Select PCIE as your main graphics output.

I cant find anything in bios that states it's for graphics, I did go into 3d mode and click on the pci and change it but didnt seem to work.

In the Bios, go to Peripherals and scroll down to Init Display First and select PEG .

And your monitor is connected to your graphics card and not the mobo. Just checking.

And the card is in the right PCIE slot. PEG should have made the PCIE 3.0 x16 slot your first graphics output.

Ya it's in Pci 3.0. I only downloaded 1 driver update ( the latest) do I need to download them all?

Idleman · 29 Sep 2012 at 15:54

The latest AMD driver is all you need for the Gpu. When you selected PEG earlier, you did save the settings when you exited the Bios.
Just making sure you hav`nt overlooked something.

You could try that.

That didnt work, Ill post a thread in graphics forum, under display adapters it just show either the intergrated graphics or "standard VGA graphics adapter"
