I have a 3D graphics card. The computer claims to have a better one(and
indeed, it does manage games requiring Hardware 3D), but one of the later
games refuses to run even half as well, even on minimum picture-quality.
As I no longer remember the excact commands, I wish to know which command in
a modern BIOS setup menu to change for the new card to start handling
things.
Funny how the salesman claimed both my last computer to be 'top-grade'
improvement over 'all previous models'; the one they were supposed to be
sooo much better at switched between cards depending on which was connected
to a screen. Now what in the world was so bonechillingly wrong with that,
they had to mess it up?
Managed on my previous, but as the commands are slightly different, I fear
even trying, as I might end up with a screen that recceives no input
whatsoever, whichever card it's connected to(happened with the previous
system; flipped some switch, and both cards, for all intents and purposes,
got their power 'cut'.)
