Bought PC with the AMD Radeon….PC was not being used for a couple months and had a very small problem powering on(thats all good now 100%) so took it to someone a family member knows who sorted that and said hed put in a new graphics card if i want so i said yes…Can someone tell me if i have both cards running or just the nvidia?Im pretty sure its just the nvidia….Id like to delete all remnant's of the AMD card if its not working as i think its conflicting with some steam games..When i go to device manager the statues of the AMD Vega 8 graphics card is""

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"""" but this message is gone after in disabled and enabled again but i still think its not actually working….I cannot get any drivers for it also…..

Whats the point of having two average graphics card when i can remove both for a better one?Please any recommendation's welcome…200~300 euros price range.

Am i right its just the one working?

The "Vega 8" is the iGPU that's built into your Ryzen 3200G CPU.

You can use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove all both the AMD & Nvidia drivers — this is best done in Safe Mode.

Then download only the Nvidia driver from their site (make sure the monitor is plugged into the GTX 750).

If you want to upgrade, you can pick up an AMD RX 7600 for ~250euro, install it into your PC & install the AMD Radeon drivers.

(alternatively: this 193euro Gigabyte RTX 3050 6GB Windforce does not require an extra power connector)

It wouldn't hurt to pick up a 1-2 TB SSD, too.

Also, go into the BIOS (hammer F1,F2 or Del keys until you are in) and got to Setting/Advanced/Integrated Graphics Configuration and set it as follows:

Initate Graphic Adapater - PEG

IGD Multi-Monitor - Disable

You'll end up with a unrecognised PCI device but it'll never work or be identified as a GPU. But definitely do what Kiki is saying as well.

Yes, they're both PCie x16 size cards, so it'll run fine.

You may want to check if your power supply has the needed 6 pin PCIe power connector (it probably does).

Either tell us the model of the PSU, or check the ends of the cables from it, and see which of them have a 6 pin connector.
