im pretty new to installing graphics cards, especially on PCs with onboards already. I know i have to turn the onboard 'off' but im not sure how. In the BIOS graphics options, i have 4 options.
the manual translates as the following
GFXO = Primary video controller on a PCI-e x16 slot
GPP = Primary video controller on a PCI-e x1 slot
IGFX = onboard video display output
PCI = Primary video controller on a PCI slot.
it also says that the default setting is 'GFX0-GPP-IGFX-PCI'
am i correct in assuming that i can just install the new gpu without changing this, since the GFX0 is already above the onboard in the priority chain?
GFX0-GPP-IGFX-PCI
GPP-GFX0-IGFX-PCI
PCI-GFXO-GPP-IGFX
IGFX-GFXO-GPP-PCI
