Newly Built Desktop will not use Radeon R7 260x GPU as dedicated graphics card. Motherboard is Msi 970a-g43. OS windows 7 64bit.
My brother just built this and everything was running smoothly until he couldn't play any games because the computer is using the mobo's onboard graphics I guess.
We are both fairly new to the computer building world, as this is the first one and have no idea how to fix this issue.
The monitor is connected to the R7260x GPU.
Things we tried:
Going into Bios in hopes to disable onboard graphics or switch to R7, cannot find PCI-e option anywhere.
Tried right clicking on empty screen in windows 7 and found AMD catalyst control center, no option visible to change GPU.
I have search as many answers on this website to see if I could find a solution but I thought it better just to ask myself. Thanks in advance~
Edit: So someone told me that the msi motherboard does not have onboard video, so the R7 is working, and that a BIOs update may fix it. I'm going to try that and come back here for another update.
