GPU Driver help and GPU Questions.

LightningLamb

I finally upgraded my system by giving it an actual dedicated gpu instead of using the built in graphics that came in with my ryzen 5 2400g. The graphics card is installed but in order to make my pc use the dedicated gpu I had to disable built in graphics through my bios. Now my question is am I doing this right? Could I have leave the built in graphic option on in the bios? Also my last question is do I proceed to install the drivers for my gpu or uninstall the drivers for my 2400g then install the drivers?

Should be fine to install the card, connect the display cable to it and run just fine. 

 

Shouldnt be required to do anything else. Aside from installed the latest drivers for the card.

Not plugging my monitor into the GPU instead of the IO in the back is a mistake I've made before. 

 

Leave the built in gpu settings as is and don't touch the drivers. You should just plug in the GPU, wire it up and then download and install the latest driver for your GPU.

 

For Nvidia you'll download GeForce and it makes it really easy. AMD GPU's I am not really knowing. I would go to the manufactures website and go from there.
