MOVED: How to disable onboard graphics...

This topic has been moved to AMD64 ATI/SiS/VIA boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127950.0

Yes I have the monitor hooked up to the GTX260 connection and I am getting a picture fine even though the 260 is not showing up in the device manager.   It shows "standard VGA adaptor" in the device manager.  That is why I was going to just install the latest drivers for the 260 and see what happens.

    Everything is running fine with Vista 64 installed.  I know that when I install a PCIE vid card it should override the onboard but it is not doing so.  When I go into device manager the GTX260 I have installed in the dark blue PCIE slot (closet to CPU) does not show up at all.
    Under periphials in the BIOS the only option I see is "primary VGA" or something similar and it gives me 2 options.  PCI or PCIE.  I have PCIE selected.  Should I update the BIOS to see if it will add another BIOS option? (I am scared to mess with the BIOS)
    Or can I just install the Nvidia drivers and see what happens?  Maybe take out the GTX260 and put it back in and reboot??
    Sorry for all the silly questions but this is my first attempt at building my own PC and it has gone great so far but I am at a loss now.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
    I am a novice at this as well so am I correct in assuming that it is ok to have an Nvidia card in the PCIE slot even though the onboard video is ATI based??

  • How to disable the graphics card of my macbook air please?

    how to disable the graphics card of my macbook air please?

    I'm guessing there is a language issue here.  The graphics card is the actual hardware (chip) in your computer that allows it to create graphics and show them on your display.  There is no way to disable the graphics card on your Air because there would be no way to use it (it would not be able to display anything on any display).  This is a little different on machines with multiple graphics processors, but that's not the case with your Air.  I'd imagine you know what you want to do, we're just having trouble understanding your question.

  • Disabling onboard graphic in a KM3M-V

    Hello,
    I am not sure to have correctly disabled the on board graphic chipset in the KM3M-V BIOS. I would like to use my current Radeon 9000 ATI AGP grapgic board.
    I have the latest BIOS version but there is no "disable onboard graphic chipset " option and no any clear explanation about this in the "installation guide".
    Is it enough to put the shated memory to "0" ? No any other change to do ?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    In ControlPanel you can tell Windows what sound device you like to use. And you can inactivate the onboard sound card in Device Manager. In BIOS - I haven't checked this one out - the title would be Integrated Peripherals I believe.
    If I am understanding you right, it look in Control Panel I have the new Soundblaster Card selected.  I presume you are talking about going into Control Panel - Sounds and Multimedia - then the Audio tab.  Once there the Soundblaster card is showing in the dropdowns for Playback and Recording; and under MIDI playback it lists Creative Soundfont Synth.
    In Device Manager it doesn't look like anything is disabled.  Again, presuming where I am supposed to be looking (ie, Device Manager - Sound, Video and Game Controllers) I still see the following:
    Audio codecs
    Legacy audio drivers
    Legacy video capture devices
    Media control devices
    Soundblaster Live! 24-bit
    Unimodem half-duplex audio device
    Video codecs
    None of the items have any indication that that are disabled or not working properly.
    I will check the BIOS, but I did set that to disabled. 

  • How to disable onboard video on KM4M-L?

    Does anybody know how to disable the onboard video card of the KM4M-L?  I tried just plugging in another AGP card, but it doesn't work.  I've gone through the bios, but can't find any reference to the onbard video.
    Another question I have is which card is faster, the onboard video or my old Viper V770 with 32MBs of ram (I know, it's ancient!)
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The viper but not by much. The o/b AGP is disabled automaticly but your problem is your board only supports AGPx4/1.5v cards.
    Have a read through this thread (it's a P4 board but the same applies).

  • K9N2 Diamond - Can't Disable Onboard Graphics

    Hello all,
    I have a peculiar problem (or maybe it isn't problem at all):
    If I select to disable the onboard graphic chip in BIOS, the system halts (complete freeze) after memory check, only way out is to force shutdown and BIOS reset.
    On board, there are four little status leds, when the onboard graphics is disabled, they are (looking from the "back" of board) from left to right: green-red-green-red. I haven't been able to find out what the sequence means, looks to me like MSI has never published the codes.
    The freeze happens whether I have quickboot enabled or not.
    My system specs are:
    MSI K9N2 Diamond
    AMD Phenom 9850 BE
    XFX GeForce 8800 GT Alpha Dog 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI
    8 GB Corsair DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 DHX
    2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB S300 RAID 1
    CoolerMaster 700W REAL POWER PRO MODULAR PSU
    Lian-Li SILVER CLASSICAL SERIES
    Philips Brilliance 200W 20.1"
    BIOS version is 2.0 (not flashed).
    The XFX card works perfectly and when both cards are active, I have no issues with system at all (all works perfectly). Also RAM has passed Memtest++ several times and is correctly detected and configured by BIOS (800MHz).
    All BIOS settings affecting performance are in their defaults (no overclocking, no voltage tweaking etc).
    The problem is that I can't set these two cards to SLi nor MultiGPU because they are not identical (please correct me if I'm wrong in that).
    The problem is that both cards now want to run separate monitor (I only got one I can use permanently) meaning that I either won't see boot messages or I won't see desktop depending on which card I have the monitor connected on.
    So, in brief, here's my questions are:
    Do you know why disabling the onboard chip freezes POST?
    Do you know a solution to this problem?
    If you answer "yes" to either or both above, please tell me too what is the reason and what is the solution

    Hi and thanks for the reply.
    Just to be sure what you mean:

    You should be able to disable onboard while monitor cable is connected to the 8800, should even be automatically disabled.
    You mean having monitor connected to both cards and then disable the onboard chip?
    Quote from: Fredrik on 02-November-08, 20:54:10
    Could have to do with the Hybrid SLI feature  . Disable if you don't want it.
    That's disabled currently (you can't disable onboard chip if it's enabled).
    Quote from: Fredrik on 02-November-08, 20:54:10
    As BIOS seems to be involved, what BIOS version do you have?
    Original 2.0 (shipped with board).

  • How to disable Nvidia Graphics card to improve battery life in Bios?

    Hi I am trying to figure out how to disable my Nvidia Graphics Card with my Custom Bios. I don't want to tinker with my Bios settings without getting some advice. Thanks!!!! I have MSI GE70 2PE 012US laptop. My custom bios is this version E1759SSS.516.

    You can't really disable nvidia graphics as all laptops with dedicated card can't just use Intel HD only..

  • How to disable 2nd graphic card?

    I have a laptop Sony VGN-Z21XN/B with two graphic cards:
    1) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    2) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] (rev a1)
    Unfortunately both are running at the same time so my laptop is hot, noisy and the battery is discharged very soon. Is there any possibility how to permanently disable nVidia graphic card somewhere in system? I already tried disable nVidia modules in rc.conf, but without result and google doesn't help
    Thank for advice.

    I've just checked my bios settings and there is no option to set or disable graphic card. Bios is actually very poor.
    The problem is that sony provides only windows (vista and 7, not XP) software switch so there is no HW support for switching... I am looking for something like disable hardware in windows device manager. Simply tell arch: don't use that stupid piece of crap...
    However I'll have a look to site that you posted

  • MOVED: How to use onboard VGA on 945GM2 with RX1300Pro graphics card plugged in?

    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=97199.0

    Richard, 945GM2 doesn't have AGP bus anymore. It's PCIe.
    However, it's a chipset "feature" that if you had a PCIe external display card hooked on, the chipset will disable the integrated graphics. There is no workaround.

  • How to disable iNTEGRATED graphics On the Y40? in bios

    i want to fully disable the integrated graphics through bios. in the switchable graphics and uma, either use both or integrated basicly. how do i change it so its dedicated instead of integrated? 

    Good luck, but i dont recommend third party softwares to control the hardware of a laptop (especially the ones that have no reviews)
    Chrome should work fine on an integrated chip, heck I could play games on the integrated chip back in 2006. I think your issue may be loss of performance in Battery mode.

  • How to disable discrete graphics card on dv7?

    My dv7 6000 CTO (XW899AV) has been having graphics card issues for quite a while now (frequent screen flashes followed by error notifications), but lately it's gotten a lot worse.  Now I get a black screen after just a few minutes of use.
    I'm nearly positive the problem lies with the discrete graphics card (ATI 6770M).   I'd like to disable the discrete card and only use the integrated Intel HD 3000.  Unfortunately the BIOS seems to hide the option to do this.  I tried disabling the ATI card in the device manager, but when I rebooted the card was enabled again.  Is there a way to disable the discrete card, even though HP seems hell bent on preventing me from doing so?  If I can't, the laptop is basically a brick.

    Hi zeblonite,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that you are looking to disable your discrete graphics card. As you have seen that isn't going to work as the notebook is designed to work with both graphics card. What are the error notifications are you getting? If you can give me that exact error message we might be able to fix the cause of the problem. What operating system are you using?

  • How to disable onboard video chip (ms6337)

    Hi all.
    My mainboard is MS6337(815Epro , bios version:1.4)
    I've bought a new videocard ,so I want to disable the onboard video chip.
    Thanks for any help .

    I don't really have anything to compare with  :(
    I would need another i815E board to see if there is supposed to be a change at all.
    My guess is that since there is no 3D engine in the integrated VGA core you need very little memory bandwidth to run it:
    1024*768 @ 85 FPS 24bit = 1024*768*85*4=255MB/S
    The RAM is capable of 1066MB/S, but the PIII CPU never uses that anyway so there is no bandwidth conflict between the CPU and VGA.
