I find it refreshing that nobody took the **** with answers to this question. On most other forums you'd have got a "well, duh...." response.

nice community this

but isnt he suppose to connect it to the built-in port ,thn from mobo setting he needs to disable the onboard video and thn restart and thn connect it with the graphics card?

na, on most, if not all motherboards these days once you put a graphics card it, the bios automatically takes that as primary.

what is an interesting question though, if you have onboard graphics, can you use that at the same time as a seperate graphics card, to run a third monitor for example? i haven't actually tried myself

Yeah i appreciate the lack of abuse i got! Thanks for that guys, really do.

I find GH generally quite friendly, might be a different situation in GD or motors.

As I always say, there's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers.
