I need some help...

[ryan_breck]

Recently brought a pre built oc'ed machine from OCUK, and couldn't be happier.

Although i have a little issues, im not sure if my gpu is working correctly or working at all. This is the gpu HIS HD 7970 IceQ X² GHz Edition 3072MB, how can i check its working? and if its not how can i fix this?

All i know is there is an intel 4600 hd graphics in the computer somewhere.

If you need more info just ask and ill find it for you.

Just ran the valley benchmark on dx11 No AA ultra quality and was at 10 fps, i now know this is not right, what can i do?

It sounds like you might have the on board gpu enabled. Go into the bios to see if that's the case.

Hi there it sounds like its using the intel GFX instead of the 7970

Have you got the monitor connected to the 7970? Also check in the bios that the onboard GFX are disabled

Fiver on HDMI in the mobo socket?

You can still use HDMI, but just make sure it is connected to the HDMI out on the gpu and not the HDMI out on the motherboard I/O panel.

I thought usually if you had a graphics card in the PCI-E slot, the onboard GPU would be automatically disabled?

Depends on the motherboard. On my one (asrock h77 pro4/mvp) it stays enabled even with a graphics card so you can use it for another monitor. It can be disabled in bios though.
