disable onboard graphics first.. if you dont, then your other card might not work

Some mobo's automatically detect the one being used and disable the other accordingly, always been a bit worried though disabling onboard first in case the pci one doesnt work lol, then u wud have to reset the bios to get the onboard back enabled, i think? lol i dont know

so disable it in bios first ?

If ur not sure just plug the pci in first, if it doent work take it out then turn on the pc disable the onboard one and stick the pci back in.

put the card in, plug in your monitor into the PCI card slot thingy then turn on your computer and install the drivers.

its worked ok for me both ways. your comp auto detectys video adapters so once its installed on the computer it should work fine, just install new one, go to properties by right clicking desktop, go to displays, set card as primary adapter and disable other one. (if you are pushing your PSU to limits you should disable in you driver area. Buit has anyone else ever had a card fail from installing in the wrong order? My MX 4000 is the only card I know that requires only one to be installed.
