Internal graphics supply

[Lozedge]

Hi all.
I'm new here and not overly comfortable with the inside of my computer. I have just bought a nvidia card to upgrade from my internal graphics card. The nvidia card has a socket for a power supply. But the only connector that will fit it is all ready connected to the motherboard. To what I think is the internal graphics card. Would it be safe to disconnect this and attach it to the nvidia card.
Thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think by "socket for the power supply" you are referring to the ports where the PCIe/VGA cables from the power supply plug into the graphics card to supply it with power.

The connector that's connected to the motherboard isnot for a video card, that would be for the CPU. A different cable is for the video card, which will be either a 6-pin, 6+2 pin, or 8-pin. Many video cards need more than one of these ports. If you could tell me your power supply and video card, it'd be easier to help. If your power supply doesn't have an PCIe/VGA cables, it probably can't even supply enough amps and you'll need a new power supply.
