Yes, I am a Noob.

 

I have recently installed a DH61WW Intel Board. It came with Intel HD Graphics.

 

I have an NVIDIA GT-220 Graphic Card.

 

I want to be able to use both the On board Integrated Graphics and the NVIDIA Card to maximize the performance.

 

P.S. I am only using a single Display.

Currently I have turned the integrated graphics to "Always Disabled" in the Bios. And am using the NVIDIA Card.

Hi Hitman,

It is important to say that as soon as a PCIe video card is connected in the system, the onboard graphics are going to be automatically disabled.

Intel has a program called Lucid Virtu. This software provides the capability to the system to handle both resources at the same time. You can get the program at the following link:
