Vista - Disable onboard video card?

Hi; just installed an ATI 4850 card in a Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H Mobo, [AMD 64x2 6000+]. The Graphics Experience Index jumped from 3.6 to 5.9. (I don't do any high-end gaming and was focusing mainly on HDTV resolution, but it looks impressive on paper) Mobo has ATI 3200 onboard video.

Question is: "should I disable the onboard video in the bios, or leave it alone?" Current settings apparently work fine, but is there an advantage to disabling the onboard... or is it one of those , 'leave well enough alone' thingies?

Thanks

its not a problem, infact catalyst control center is crossfiring your card with the onboard one, its not a problem and if you disable it you may get a performance drop

Thank you MrNeeds for the reply. I have noted that the lousy '6TO4 Adapter' error has popped up just since the new card install.



I always suspected it was because of the US Robotics telephone modem I use [maybe not quite compatible with VISTA]. It does not seem to bother anything but I decided to try to get rid of it awhile back and nothing I have seen addresses a 'fix' for it. I finally got rid of it by reloading VISTA (not a clean install), and it stayed gone for a couple weeks until now that it has returned!
Anyone here know how to get rid of the cursed '6TO4' annoyance??

i have a rule with computers, unless i use it it doesnt need to be there, thats why I never understood why people bought computers with floppy drives. but none the less people did, my advice with this is unless you use it, remove it, if you dont know how, you could just disable it by right clicking it in device manager there^^^

Apparently, this is one with which you unfamiliar. The 6TO4 problem has been a bain to many... did a search and found plenty of others with it. Also, no one that I could find including Microsoft, had the foggiest-notion of what it was or a 'fix' for it. The BUGGER is self-perpetuating [cannot permanently disable or remove it] It just 'pops back up on next reboot. I REALLY thought I had rid myself of it and it came back with the installation of the HD4850.
...Suppose I might get rid of it with another system installation but that is a lot of trouble for a (seemingly) harmless annoyance.
Thanks again

6TO4 is a website configuration, its designed to use ipv6 connection for ipv4 configurations. something is configured incorrectly in your system, network wise.

Well floppy disks only really became obsolete with Vista, as with XP you needed one to load SATA/RAID HDD drivers

What Router do you have, as only a handful of home routers support 6to4 relay.

That is possible with the 780 chipset on his mobo but systems ive seen with that always have BOTH cards showing in device manager , his doesnt , does it need to be enabled in the control panel (ive been NVidia for years lost touch with ATI)

Isnt there "dual gpu function" in the control center that needs enabling?

its called hybrid crossfire, using your discrete onboard gpu for everyday applications and browsing and utilising the gaming card for gaming, it is enabled automatically.

Getting my two bits worth in, I've installed about three new graphics cards in the past, and the instructions always said to uninstall the onboard system then shut down.
Install the new card, change over the monitor connections then reboot, using the supplied CD to install the new drivers.
Always made sense to me.
