I recently bought a new computer specifically so I could play high end games; I'm not incredibly tech savvy and I'm sure you're all LIKE me in the sense that when you get a new toy (ie, computer) you just want to play the crap out of it.
So, low and behold, I try and play one of my favourite games (Team Fortress 2) and the graphics are HORRENDOUS. I then find out that my computer is using integrated graphics- NOT the 100+ quid (UK currency haha) graphics card I bought.
I have LITERALLY exhausted EVERYTHING I can THINK of in order to get the thing to show up in my devices.
My motheboard is an ASRock Wolfdale 1333-GLAN/M and my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB.

Please help, it's DRIVING me crazy not knowing how to use my graphics card; also, the thing is inserted correctly into my computer

[EDIT] Also, I'm using Vista 32 bit!you need to disable the on-board graphics via your BIOS setup.

You also need to plug your monitor into the video card, rather then your on-board output.Quote
