Z77a g43 | i5 2500k | Disable integrated graphics

As the title states how do I disable integrated graphics from the bios on my z77a g43 motherboard running a 2500k. Finally got a dedicated video card Radeon HD 7870 

Don't want it warming up the CPU (Overclocker a few degrees can make a difference ) and to get optimal performance out of my Radeon 7870.
And yeah the Radeon is already up and running.
So I'm guessing there's no way of completely disabling it from bios?

  • GX70 Disable integrated graphics?

    Did some googling for ways to disable the 8650 on board graphics and some sources pointed towards BIOS, I had a look around in there and didn't see any such option.
    Is there a way to turn off integrated graphics, I use my laptop plugged in 99% of the time so power consumption isn't an issue. I am applying for a beta and they want my dxdiag uploaded, would rather my dxidiag show my dedicated graphics however it is showing the integrated one instead.
    Any solutions I am missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, thanks.
    Is there a way to confirm which graphics is being used by which application?
    I know you can configure switchable graphics, but is there any way to confirm that the didicated GPU is being used by a game?
    you can see it by power button if it's blue then it's using intel one if it's orange it's using nvidia one blue can be white as well depending on laptop.

  • 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.

  • Disabling integrated graphic

    hi,
    i have a problem installing an ASUS Geforce4 Ti 4200 AGP card into MSI K7N2G-L board, as my pc refused to boot with AGP card onboard. Is there any way of disabling the integrated graphics, as I did't find the option in bios.

    hi
    to disable onboard gfx just install an agp card.
    it is possible you did something wrong during the installation like not insert the agp card correctly or a cable got loose during the install or it could also be a hardware failure.
    can you post the poweroutput on the .3v 5v and 12v rails on the psu.
    check for loose cables.
    uninstall ALL gfx drivers before you change gfx card.
    bye

  • Disable integrated graphics on Lenovo C200 AIO?

    Hi, is there any way to disable / turn off integrated graphics (intel gma) and use only nvidia ion on my Lenovo C200 AIO? I know that some notebooks have this function in bios, but i can't find anything here. Thanks a lot for reply.

    hey halfman,
    welcome to the forums.
    as i do not have this particular unit with me, i can't say for certain but usually this feature is to be done via the BIOS.
    check your bios and see if it is at version : 14 .

  • Disable integrated graphics on HP Envy dv6-7200ea

    Hello. My laptop comes with two graphics. The intel hd 4000, and the nvidia geforce gt630m. I have searched for an option in the BIOS to disable the integrated graphics (intel hd 4000) with no success. I've set the global settings in the nvidia control panel to use the nvidia graphics card, but never-the-less, programs like PC Benchmark, emulators, games, editing software all use the intel graphics card. All intel and nvidia drivers are up to date. Any help on this matter?

  • NEED HELP DISABLING INTEGRATED GRAPHICS IN BIOS

    Essentially the title is self explanatory. Im having issues with the options that the out of the box BIOS provides on the MSI GT70 0ND 444US, I cant find the options to turn the integrated graphics off because one of my programs is auto defaulting to the intell 4000 graphics rather than my Nvidia dedicated card in the laptop. Its causing issues with game play mostly low frame rate and bad quality graphics in the game. I don't know if i need to unlock or update the BIOS, generally just in the dark on the solution and iv tried a few things, but to no avail. If anyone Preferably a MSI tech specialist can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

    In the nvidia control panel you can add or remove what programs you want to run with the discrete graphics, you can also right click a program/app and click run with discrete graphics. I don't think you need the integrated graphics but I also don't think they give you the option to turn it off. I have a msi laptop as well and msi completely takes power usage out of the end users hands, my CPU was throttling to 800mhz and I contacted msi and they said I needed it to to that for battery saving, I told them I always have it plugged in and I want it running full tilt 100% of the time, my gpu was throttling as well. The problem is that it was throttling both even with it plugged in. I finally found a program that overrides that crap!! It's called throttlestop. Now my gpu runs where I have it set to run and I have 4 presets on throttlestop for what I want my cpu to run at, I can even keep it at max turbo speed if I want.

  • Disabled integrated graphics in Z50-70

    Hello there,
    i flashed an unlocked BIOS (v26) to my z50 70 and disabled the igpu due to problems with optimus. As everyone else who did it, I ended up with a black screen. Could you please give me the keys I have to press to load default values in bios? Or guide me how exactly to kill my battery for a CMOS reset. Tried holding the power button for two minutes with ac disconnected, the bios battery can't be removed
    Thanks in advance!

    It appears that is not the way to do it. Selecting the default graphic adapter "discrete adapter" I believe is what I had done in my T520. I am using a Z70-80 right now. With UFIE bios I don't mess with default setting unless it safe change parameter. Nvidia requires drivers to activate as well I am sure. The operating system you're using may be contributing to the problem and you have not specified your environment.It could be a bug in that bios which sounds like a non approved version. If that is the case there is no support.

  • G580 disable integrated graphics card

    Hi.
    How can I make my laptop (G580) use just the dedicated graphics card ?  In BIOS I only have the options "Switchable graphics" and "UMA". I understood the latter stands for the integrated card.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Hi timon20025,
    Thank you for your query.
    If there is not an option in the bios to disable the integrated, then it is not possible.
    The latest bios is Version F.31, 9.16M, which you can get from HP Pavilion 17-e011sr Notebook PC Drivers page.

  • MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Motherboard Integrated Graphics

    Hi i'm a newbie to computer parts and the computer world in general on what does what. I'm only 15 but i'm looking to upgrade my Mobo and CPU I have found a bundle (MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle) on tiger direct and it looks like a good deal. But before I buy it I WAS going to upgrade my GPU before I were to get a new Mobo and CPU. I've done some research on the MSI Z77A-GD65 and I saw it has integrated graphics, but I don't entirely know what that is. I was curious if that's a graphics card and if so what it compares to. I have a Nvidia GTX 9800 graphics card that's fairly old now and I was wondering if a Mobo with integrated graphics acted as a graphics card and if so what it would compare to. If you want to know anymore specs about my computer let me know and i'll be happy to give them out.

    It's not the mainboard to have integrated graphics, it's the cpu. The Core i5-3570K has Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated. The mainboard only offers the output connectors to use it. All current generation Intel cpus have integrated graphics which can be used or not. The HD Graphics 4000 is not meant for gaming of course and would perform worse than your GTX9800 in a 3d game. With a supported mainboard (like the Z77A-GD65) the integrated graphics can be used along the discrete vga for Lucid MVP to better performance and gaming experience (see for more details: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160519.0).

  • Disabling the integrated graphics card or updating any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

    So I couldn't activate Assassin's Creed 3 on bootcamp which I shuold have been able todo. I posted it on Ubistoft Support and This is what I got!
    Hello ,
    It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.
    So I was wondering how I could disable the intergrated grahics card or update any software that will aid the ocmputer in switching between the two graphic chips.

    The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

    Should i update to the latest version ? Does it make sense  ?

    Not unless something is in the change log that could be of a specific benefit. If and when a UEFI/BIOS does come along that is going to be of benefit, be sure to use the forum's USB method to minimize the chance of it ever going badly.

  • Z77A-G45 only integrated graphics boot

    Hey all, just upgraded mobo and cpu and so far its only working on the on-board graphics, when i have the monitor connected to a card it wont start boot at all, it comes on, lights and fans whirring but it wont enter the boot screen just stays blank with light on standby, have tried with 2 different cards besides my main and in different pci slots, nada, same thing.
    I did have one other problem now fixed but i dont know if relevent to this, when i first turned the newly built comp on and had the above problem i tried the onboard graphics method, it booted but then crashed at windows startup with the x07b error, which after some checking is a hard disk error, i set the sata mode to IDE and it worked, can now go into windows as normal but still only on the onboard graphics.
    Any help/advice is appreciated, thanks.

    If you are migrating a HDD from another machine with a previous OS on it, it is not going to work correctly. It needs to be a fresh install. Z77's default to AHCI mode.
    thanks for identifying the problem to that little curio, a OS reinstall hmm was trying to avoid that but now I know what the prob is and can tackle it once things are settled.
    To get the discrete card to work, change the graphics setting from IGD to PEG, Save and Exit and then hard shut down. Install the discrete card connecting it's PCI-E power, connect the monitor to the discrete card, start the system and see if it now shows graphics.
    tried this and alas it hasn't worked, I turn on and go into bios, under advanced section the integrated graphics configuration subsection and the initiate graphic adapter line, I change it from IGD to PEG, click save and exit, while its rebooting I yank out power cable (you said hard shut down), clear power (wait a min and press power button down), install graphics card and connect monitor, reconnect power cable power on and...the same thing.
    It was originally actually on PEG so I changed it, saved and let it go into windows to do clean shut down to try your method, did the same thing when it failed first time, have tried a few times now, even tried the method but with changing from PEG to IGD, just in-case of the outside chance the order was a typo on your part.
