twelveways · 07-16-2007, 04:13 AM

Hi, thanks for the welcome and replies.
My old card was a geforce 6800gt and my new card is a radeon sapphire x1950. My onboard graphics are nvidia. The upgrade was inorder to switch to pci-e rather than to improve performance as Im not sure the new card is any better.

If I disable the on board graphics will the monitor still work if connected to the motherboard? Otherwise how will I get into Windows? or does it just disable 3d graphics?

thanks again
