Using Old video card instead of new. ?

I just installed a new Video card, were before I don't think I had one that was able to remove. Well I had Intel my best guess is that it is inside the core of the computer. Now I was wondering if i could run the old video card on certain programs, because the new video card makes the game too big, and i want the old video card to run the game. Any suggestions?



~Jack|||You had "onboard video" which is where the controller in built into (the chips are located on) the motherboard. Nothing strange there.



The new card and the old one are both HARDWARE though. Completely separate from each other. They don't even communicate.



The only way for you to use your old card on some things, and the new one on some other things, is to either:



1. Get a monitor that has dual input, and plug another cable into the old VGA port, then just switch input when you need to, or



2. Unplug the cable, plug it into the other card, and then reboot.



It doesn't really make much sense to do either one though. If you don't like the way the new card displays the program, just change its resolution settings in the program or in Windows. That's what is making the game "too big."
