Using two graphics cards

[hakestom]

Hello .

The motherboard I am buying has an integrated graphics card , however I am buying a dedicated graphics cards to fit in one of the pci slots on the motherboard for gaming.

here is the motherboard: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-M5A78L-M-USB3-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B0054U7HIO/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1328730921&sr=1-6

Is there a way to use both of these cards at once?

And if not is it easy to set the default card in the bios?

Its my first computer so I'm still just clarifying a few things .


Thanks for help

You can't use the embedded GPU and a discrete GPU at the same time. However, switching between them is easy and automatic.

+1 ^ Most modern boards will default to the PCIe card if it doesn't detect an output at the integrated port. If yours doesn't, yes, there is a place in the BIOS setup to select the discrete card.
