Some motherboard give the option of allowing you to run both at the same time. Tipically it'll be Onboard GPU: -OFF -ON -Off when Dedicated gpu detected Pick on and once into windows it should auto pick it up and install it. Plug your dvi/vga into the onboard right click>propertise (On desktop)>settings double click the disabled monitor set resolution and ok. kk so i need to change my bios settings?
