Gaming on PC when using mainboard GFX AND PCI-e card possible ?


Recommended Posts

I'm not really a gamer so need some advice on the following;

If I have 2 screens on the integrated graphics and another 2 on the PCI-e card; How can I then "force" the game to use the PCI-e adaptor ?

-presently the game benchmark always lists the integrated graphics in its results. This even happens when the game is running full screen on the monitor which is connected to the PCI-e card.

integrated graphics shows as Intel HD 2000. The chipset is Intel H67.

There's a bit of ambiguity about what you write. You state that the benchmark always lists the IGP...is that in addition to the discreet card?

How does the benchmark(s) compare to other people's benchmarks using the same card?

Reason I'm asking is that I'm assuming the benchmark is simply showing all graphics adapters in your system. If you can adjust the discreet's cards parameters using the company's control panel than you're probably using it when doing graphically intensive work. You can also go into the BIOS and make sure it is the primary card.

It would seem to be a case of user error. I was actually running the game on a screen connected to the Intel HD 2000

When running on a display connected to the PCI-e I get better frame rates & the benchmark lists the discreet card.

Problem solved.
