How do you replace an integrated video card?

An integrated video card is located on the motherboard itself and cannot be replaced. You can add a graphics card to one of the motherboard's slots though. It will then take over and the onboard graphics will not be used. To avoid any conflicts, you should disable the onboard graphics when adding a dedicated graphics card.

Why is AGP VGA better than Onboard VGA?

1. If the onboard VGA fails, you buy a new motherboard, but if the AGP video card fails you buy a new video card. 2. You can select any video features you want to pay for if you use the AGP video card, but you're stuck with whatever your motherboard has if you use the onboard card. 3. Onboard video cards are typically quite basic. 4. It must be faster and better than onboard vga.

How do you disable Onboard VGA Controller using Windows 7?

onboard video cards are enabled or disabled in the system bios, which is able to be entered on boot by pressing a key or key combination, your documentation should tell the key or keys to press. Also the onboard video card can be disabled in the system controle panel in windows, However doing so this way can cause system conflicts as it will still delegate recources and an interrupt to the disabled video. Perfered way is from the system bios


How do you disable your Intel Integrated Graphics card so that your computer will use the ATI Radeon 9250 that you have installed?

Updated: 05-28-09AnswerThis question and related questions are fairly generic. The solution is the same for most brands of computers and video cards such as pci, pci-e 8x,16x (pci express), pci-x (and older and obselete standard). Solution steps:0. Make sure you have the latest version of the video driver from the vendor that made the card. Often the CD that shipped with it is a year out of date or more. If it came out before xp sp3 or vista sp1 the drive many not work right. So download the latest.1. Turn on PC and enter the BIOS / CMOS by tapping the del key or delete key or F2 (Intel) or F10 (HP Compaq) F12 (Dell?).2a. On most systems you do not need to disable the onboard video card. Open your PC, add your new video card and move the monitor plug from the onboard video port to the video card you just installed. On boot the computer will sense that there is no monitor connected to the onboard video port and will disable it or at least will redirect the screen output to the newly installed video card. However, once windows has been installed with the onboard video card it may be marked as the "default" video device and limit the ability of games to perform properly. Games also may detect the onboard video card and quit because the onboard card is not fast enough. If you are still having problems perform step 2b.2b. Turn off the computer, move the monitor plug from the onboard video port to the video card you just added. Repeat step1 then navigate to "onboard devices", for Dell this will probably be labeled Video or Display Settings. Disable onboard video. Now save the setting you just made in the bios by pressing F10 or choosing the save from the menu, you may have to press ESC key to get to main menu. Now boot windows and install the drivers for your video card.3. in extreme cases after following step 2b if you many have to reinstall windows with the onboard video card disabled so no drivers are ever installed. This is a "best practice" for serious gamers and results in the cleanest install. This way the onboard video card is never seen by windows and no drivers are present. Remember, driver files are usually left behind and are not removed by the uninstall. If you arn't ready to wipe off your system you could unplug your hard drive and plug in a test hard drive and perform a clean install windows (don't use the recovery disk) and test out if this yields better results).Last resort: If you are still having problems with the uninstall, go into the device manager in windows and double click on the Intel video (or onboard video card), at the bottom of the page that comes up is "USE THIS DEVICE" choose instead to not use this device. Restart windows and see if this helps. Also make sure you have the most up to date drivers for the video card you are using and if so, right click on your desktop and choose properties and make sure the resolution and color depth are set to the correct settings, like 1024x768 32bitOptional Reading:an example of an unusual and complex onboard video graphics driver situation:Updated: 10-03-08 This system described in the next paragraphs is a "bare bones system" for oem's resellers / value added resellers. The bios is limited and does not have the ability to disable the onboard video card. Disable device is not an option, unfortunately, in windows 2000 sp4.I am tasked with a project at work with an old samba PC (not to be confused with Linux) It's actually an FIC (first international computer) branded motherboard model VC37 revision IEM42 0601 with integrated Intel 845 graphics and the uninstaller fails to uninstall the driver both from the control panel and the actual driver in device manager. I added an old pci video card but the dispay is all wacky. In the bios turbo mode is disabled but there is no option to disable the onboaard video. Although the system correctly uses the addin video card the picture is a mess. Reloading the OS is not an option.The uninstall for the Intel drivers fails to actually uninstall the drivers. I performed a manual "uninstall" by removing the entries in the registry and deleting the files used by the video card in c:\winnt\system32 and \winnt\...\drivers but that didn't help either.A co-worker discovered that the newer asus 945G computer that we are trying to port the image to is setup for ACPI and while the older samba 845 is not, it is set to "standard PC". We now believe this difference is the core of our problem.


Is an On board intergrated Intel graphics with an Intel H61 Express chipset any good for a graphics card or would i be better off with an AMD Radeon HD 6530d Graphics card?

Radeon HD 6530d is the better one of the two. it is always better to have a independent video card then the onboard video chipset, because the onboard chipset uses the ram from the motherboard and a independent video card has its own ram to use and never uses the systems ram. so all in all, your computer will run games better with a independent video card then a onboard chipset.


Accidentally uninstalled video driver and now your monitor shows no image?

Take the card out and then try plugging the monitor back into your onboard and then making sure that you enable the onboard video in BIOS try booting up.
