questions about new video card

[defuz-]

Hello, next week i'm getting a new video card and i have several question about how to install it etc

Currently i have integrated video card and never had a dedicated card so idk how to do install it.

1. Do i have to something in the BIOS before installing the card?
2. Do i have to uninstall the integrated video card driver?
3. What could be wrong if i get a black screen? (i read a lot of people have this problem thats why im asking) ofc i checked if my motherboard is compatible with the new card, and it should be fine, it requires a 300w power supply and mine is 350w so thats ok i guess

You do not have to do anything in the bios and I don't believe you need to touch the current drivers that are installed for the onboard (probably intel HD something or another). Just grab the drivers for your new one and you should be good to go.

After correctly installing the card into the build, you just need to start the PC, driver install/ uninstall is mostly automatic. You can still manually disable iGPU drivers and enable GPU drivers, tons of guides available on that. BIOS doesn't have a role to play here. What Model is yous PSU? A 350W is seldom of good quality and very seldom from good brands, what GPU do you plan to get?

That won't consume any significant power, lesser than even most newer CPUs, you're good to go
