Switching between external GPU and Processor's integrated GPU

[jbs_224]

I have an old NVIDIA GT 610 GPU connected and a new processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT which has an integrated GPU. But, when I type "dxdiag" to see my PC's information, I only see the information of the NVIDIA card on display, which I assume means that its the one that is activated. But, that GPU is much worse than the integrated GPU on my processor. How do I switch to my integrated GPU? I checked the Device Manager's Display Adapter, and I disabled the driver for NVIDIA GPU. But, I still see the NVIDIA card on the dxdiag screen, and the AMD Radeon Graphics driver shows the error "Device Manager Error Code 43"

Remove the GT610... it's useless and drivers aren't even maintained since years

If you want both you have to enable it in BIOS, sometimes called something like "iGPU Multi Monitor" otherwise the BIOS disables the iGPU when a discrete one is installed.

 

But yeah just remove the GT610, it's beyond useless at this point.

If you desperately need the extra monitors support: something like a P400 can be had for like $20 and can support up to three 4k60 displays.

I forgot to mention one problem. I used to have the PC connected with a VGA cable before. But, now I connected to HDMI. Problem is, there are two HDMI ports, one on the upper back side of the PC case and one on the lower back. The upper back side one doesn't work, so I connected to the lower back one. But, that one seems to be directly connected to the NVIDIA GPU on the motherboard. If I take out the NVIDIA GPU, won't my monitor lose connection too?

It doesn't work because it's connected to the processor's iGPU, which as explained is disabled because the nvidia card is present. Once you remove it it'll work.
