If it's integrated like yours you don't have to, simply put in your dedicated GPU in and install it's drivers and specify it is the main GPU.

Yeah, I know, but he's getting an nVidia Card. So depending on when he specifies it, the program changes.

Yeah.

why do you care so much for your APU drivers though?
