Can my PC use an installed video graphics card if it already has an integrated one?

Looking to buy warhammer online, and my PC meets all of the requirements except for the video graphics card, which is the NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE (I've heard it's quite a horrible card), but it's integrated. If I buy an upgraded video card, will the computer be able to use it or will it have to use the integrated card? |||yes it does |||When you connect the new graphics card to your computer, the integrated card stops working. Do it.|||yes it will install and automaticlly detect itself |||Yes you can install a new card and disable the integrated graphics.



Make sure first that your motherboard supports a PCI-e x 16 slot, and that your power supply can support the electrical requirements of a higher end card. You may have to restrict yourself to midrange cards that don't need supplemental power.|||In almost all cases, yes. I remember the Intel 810 series of motherboards didn't have anything but PCI slots, but almost any other board manufacturered since then has had an AGP or PCI-Express slot for an add-in card.



Check your motherboard's data sheet to make sure that the video card you select is compatible with the motherboard.|||Yes, you can install another video card. You may need to disable the onboard card, depending on who manufactured your pc.|||Absolutely positively without the shadow of a doubt yes you can buy a video card for your PC. The 7900 GS KO is a very nice Budget card that can easily handle that game. Go for an 8800GTX if you can afford it.



Go to the newegg power site to see if your PSU can handle the power needs.



This MOBO takes a PCI-Express card.
