Correct way to install graphics card?

[lee1101]

Evening,

This is probably a very silly question, but what is the correct procedure for installing a GPU?

I know how to physically install it. When I boot up for the first time do I still use the onboard HDMI output, then install the drivers, reboot and then plug into the graphics cards HDMI output?

Sorry if its a silly question, just not sure of the correct way of doing it

Thanks

I have no card at all at the moment.

So I can connect straight up to the new card then boot up and install the drivers?

Great, thank you very much

Now to find which 7870 I want!
