Title: Possible to force Windows to use integrated graphics for display? Post by: Kluge on February 04, 2012, 03:45:12 PM (apologies if wrong forum -- descriptions are pretty vague)
No point using potential hash power of a mining card when there're integrated graphics. Is it possible to force Windows (or through BIOS?) to display on a monitor using only the integrated graphics so the dedicated graphics cards can... you know.... dedicate themselves to mining? Would this be theoretically possible if an easy-to-implement solution doesn't already exist? Cheers. Title: Re: Possible to force Windows to use integrated graphics for display?

finding the right bios setup was key. Title: Re: Possible to force Windows to use integrated graphics for display? Post by: Kluge on February 04, 2012, 05:47:50 PM Would setting my BIOS to use the integrated GPU as the primary adapter do what I want?
