Installing a new graphics card question

[Corbin Barchet]

My computer has integrated graphics on my i5-3330 and I was going to upgrade to a gtx-660
my issue is do i need to do anything special besides attached to the pci slot and the PSU?
i only have 1 monitor so i do not know if i need to disable the intel graphics or not either

if you dont have a DVI ADAPTER or a HMDI or DISPLAY CABLE
These also have to be supported by your monitor

No nothing special, just the correct connections from your psu that match the gtx-660 and the pci slot. And no disabling the intel graphics is not needed and surely not recommended.

 

[nickbachu]

your montherboard should disable the onboard video by it self and if not the you have too after you connect the pci e graphics slot

You should be fine, just pop the graphics card into the pci slot. Just remember to grab the new and updated drivers from the NVidea website. Everything else will be good, the driver software will take care of the rest. (and if its anything like radeon will give you a software suite to manage your graphics).

I was about 99% positive, but I'd didn't want to say that it had it if it didn't. Wouldn't make sense if there wasn't one.
