How to tell what video card I am using?

I recently installed my GeForce GT220 on my Asus Windows 7 PC. I am not sure whether my PC is using the integrated graphics card or the installed one. How can i be sure of this?|||hi ogi

if your pc has a modern motherboard then as soon as you installed the geforce gt220 it would disable the onboard graphics automatically... however just to be sure right click anywhere on the desktop and select "nvidia control panel "

then as soon as the control panel appears click on the link "system information" which can be found at the bottom left of the panel

as long as the gt220 appears under system information its installed and you have nothing to worry about

alternatively download the utility "gpu-z" from http://www.filehippo.com/download_gpuz/ ... run this ( no need to install ) and when the small window opens there will be information regarding your graphics card... this will indicate your gt220 is currently running on your pc

finally you can check the bios.... however disabling onboard graphic options differ from pc to pc... so disabling onboard graphics on my pc will be different from yours

however its generally located in either "intergrated peripherals" or "advanced chipset features " ... and theres also another option called "init display first" ... this lets the bios know what video device to use when booting " .... the options are normally 1.pci-e or 2.onboard /agp ... simply select the device that your motherboard supports

also remember to press "save and exit set-up" before exiting the bios.. this will save any changes you have made to the cmos... your pc will then restart as the changes are saved

i hope this helps,however any problems let me know

good luck ogi !|||Install and run Speccy, http://www.piriform.com/speccy . It'll tell you what you're using.|||You're using the one that your monitor cable is connected to :)|||as cman suggests are you plugged into the gt220 ??????
