| Vista Home Premium 64 Bit | PC Sees 2 Different GPU's I installed a Radeon HD3870 into my Gateway GT 5676 pc which has/had intergrated HD 3200 on the MB. I used Driver Cleaner Pro to clear out the 3200 drivers and loaded the 3870 card and drivers. When I run: Device Manager it sees HD3870 System Info it sees HD 3870 GPU-Z it sees the HD 3870 BUT Dx Diag sees the old 3200! and C Cleaner lists the 3200 How do I get then all to see my HD 3870? Thx, John ps I think my benchmark scores are on the low side. |

| Vista Home Premium 32-bit & Vista Ultimate 64-bit both Service Pack 2 W7 Pro RTM 7600 32 & 64 | Re: PC Sees 2 Different GPU's Hi John, Have you checked to ensure that the onboard graphics are disabled in your BIOS? This should be automatic, but for some reason this is not always the case. |

| Vista Home Premium 64 Bit | Re: PC Sees 2 Different GPU's Hey D, THX for the reply. I am unsure of how to set BIOS. I have a Foxconn Bengal RS780G MB (thur Gateway) and Foxconn offers NO Support on this (cheap?) board. BIOS is AmMega Ver. 7B3G1PO4 2/18/08. Pls view settings as I now have set them and advise. Thanks for your valuable time. I Know Foxconn/Gateway/ATI should be aiding me with this. John RS-780 Config a) Internal Graphics Mode - Set to Disabled. Choices are 1) Disabled, 2) UMA, 3) Side Port, 4) UMA + Sideport Primary Video Controller - Set to C. Choices are: a) GFXO-GPP-IGFX-PCI b) GPP-GFXO-IGFX-PCI c) PCI-GFXO-GPP-IGFX d) IGFX-GFXO-GPP-PCI Advanced PCI/PnP Settings. I have set to: a) Clear NVRAM - NO b) Plug n Play OS? - NO (I use Vista X64 OS) c) PCI Latency Timer - [64] d) Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA - YES e) Palette Snooping - DISABLED f) PCI IDE Busmaster - Enabled g) OffBoard PCI/ISA IDE Card - AUTO Thanks Again. |

When set to [Yes] and if you install a Plug and Play operating system, the operating system configures the Plug and Play devices not required for boot. Configuration options: [No] [Yes] |
