Timur, I don't quite understand. Can you explain this further? You are talking about the built-in mobo graphics hardware? It' always slot 3, and doesn't show in the manual's chart? (that makes no sense to me)

Suppose you are using a separate graphics card? -OK to just disable the onboard driver?

-thanks
