Title: Using onboard i-gpu with my OS instead of 5850? Post by: Milkshanks on August 09, 2011, 05:05:12 AM Hey guys, simple question here, is it possible for me to use my integrated gpu to do all my regular chores on my computer so I can leave my 5850 mining without any interference? The reason i'm asking this is because my card crashes quite often when I open a somewhat graphic intensive (not THAT intensive) software when I'm mining.

So yeah, check out your motherboard bios and see if there is an option for this. Title: Re: Using onboard i-gpu with my OS instead of 5850? Post by: Milkshanks on August 09, 2011, 06:50:57 AM I see, and that doesn't seem the case, I don't think my mobo can do that. What if I use this old GPU I have here, a ATI 1300 (lol), maybe that would work? Gotta try it out.
Edit: Nope, that didn't work out either. Title: Re: Using onboard i-gpu with my OS instead of 5850? Post by: n4l3hp on August 09, 2011, 02:28:29 PM If your motherboard is an ATI 760G or higher, yes you can. This is also possible with nvidia 8000 (AMD) and 9000 (Intel) series boards.
