Note:
Make sure your computer uses the other graphics card to control your primary
display. The graphics card that controls your primary display is the one that first
displays information when you restart your computer.
Your computer BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and the slot type (PCI, or PCIe –
see “Choose an expansion slot”, page 5) of each graphics card help determine which
graphics card controls your primary display.
To control which graphics card is used for your primary display, you may be able to
change the configuration of your computer BIOS. For information on how to change
your computer BIOS settings, see your system manual.
