I was using the intel graphics, but I just installed the Asus 660ti card.

Should I or do I need to disable the onboard graphics, and how do I do it?

I don't think it matters mate,, have you got your display connected to your New Graphics Card... I don't know how to disable it but see if you using your new card have a look here, If your bios is UEFI you could try, Advanced Mode-Advanced-System Agent Configuration-Graphics Config-Primary display ( just select auto), And if you wont to run Virtu MVP for a extra boost to your graphics you have to enable it under Graphic Config-iGPU Multi Monitor BEFORE you install yirtu mvp

Yes, as Nackers said - just instead of auto, set to "PCIe" (in case you want to use the gtx660 permanently). Then obviously connect your monitor to the gtx660... Then install the driver for the gtx660...

Cool, that's good to know for the future. Thanks heaps
Ps, I did have internal graphic running when I was using one card with virtu mvp, I un-installed virtu when I set up a crossfire and disabled multi monitor in bios but not in device manager, just had a look and no intel hd 4000 under display adapters just my 2 cards, so it might auto disable once you do it in bios.. Good to know where to look though,, Thanks again..

Yup, this is the method!! Disable multi monitor support and the internal card gets disabled!!!
