Disable second graphic card


Hi,

I want to disable the second graphic card. I have two graphic cards (internal that I want to use and the second is a nvidia that I want to disable).

Thanks.

If the card that you wish to disable is on the motherboard, check your bios settings. I know that the sound and network modules can usually be turned off this way.

Then why don't you just take it out of your machine? Would be the easiest way.

Yes you are right but ... if is possible to switch off via software I prefer that. :-(
