NVIDIA GPU Graphics Card
Whakatakotoranga
- Waitohu: Nvidia
- Momo Hua: Wae Tukatuka Whakairoiro (GPU)
- Hototahi: Works with systems supporting Nvidia GPUs
Tuhipoka:
- If you uninstall all your display drivers (no iGPU or Nvidia drivers) it fails back to the Microsoft Basic Display adapter – might just be 800×600. However, you’ll need an iGPU or Graphics card to see the BIOS screens and to reboot…because if you don’t install a graphics card into a system with a KF CPU, or regular AMD CPU, you won’t be able to get past the VGA BIOS EZ-Debug check.
I mua i to tiimata
- If you are swapping out your existing Nvidia Graphics card for a much newer one (especially a newly released Nvidia generation of graphics cards) then make sure to install the latest Nvidia drivers before you remove your old graphics card. Your current drivers may not support the newer models.
