TC-280, how to disable integrated video

ehind99

Not having much luck disabling the onboard video of my TC-280; have a PCI card that should make it way faster but can't seem to persuade windows or the BIOS to disable and give me access to my new card.  Am I missing something?  The express slot is there so it's meant to have the card, but there's nothing visible in the BIOS to disable onboard video, or at least give preference to new card if its there.

What graphics card are you trying to install?  It should disable the onboard automatically when you insert a compatible graphics card.  Here's some graphics cards that other folks are using.  I don't own a TC-280 so can't be sure about the best course of action.  I'd probably look at the Zotac GTX1050 mini.

Don't forget to check if your power supply needs upgrading too....depending on the graphics card requirements.
