Hybrid Graphics

I have hybrid graphics on board (intel integrated and ati radeon). Is this possible to permanent select intel card and turn off ati? Now only ati is visible.

Is this a notebook with "switchable" graphics, or is is a regular desktop system with Intel onboard where you added a ATI video card?

If the later then what typically happens is that the BIOS will disable the onboard graphics the moment it detects that you added a video card.

If it is a notebook, then you might be able to select the Intel as your default video in the BIOS.

This is laptop, but hybrid graphics technology works also on desktops.

Thanks for your tips, I need to look at my BIOS.

yep, the BIOS is the appropriate place. if you can't disable it there, you can't disable it anywhere.

There is no such options in BIOS, because this is not alternate gfx card. Both of them are important and work together.
