fas 0 Posted March 11, 2009 I just put together a new 32 cam geovision dvr: intel q45 motherboard 3g ram 1tb seagate sv hardrive 160g seagate drive 512 nvidia video card 600w power supply 2gv-1480 cards dvd rw Could I have simply used the onboard video card attached to the motherboard instead of the nvidia card? What is the purpose of the extra video card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcs 0 Posted March 31, 2009 You can, just set your bios to share more mem to your onboard video simply, the ext video card is used to put less strain on the machine, if you have lots of ram and your MB supports OB video, then use it we have heaps of times, depends ont he mb we are using at the time, sometimes cant always get the same mb or suppliers change boards for price, supply or issues...
