as i know it is not just turned off. what is it prossessing. i know if you have 2 sli or crossfire cards 1 is physics 1 is rendering. so what is the graphics chip on the motherboard doing A. when there is one gpu card and 2. if there are two cards, if that matters. also i know that if three cards are applied that 1 is physics 1 is to half and 1 is bottom have of screen so what is it if there is four cards does it make it a three part screen or 2 physics one for each half of screen(not likely i think). i would like a link to explain some of this if you could please. i have been to ati.amd.com and nvidia.com also instead of 3 and 4+ cards howcome they dont just open more power to 1 pci-x(now) and just add more chips sets to 1 card as many gamers would prefer to buy 1 card as to more than one(just a thought). guess there is not enough room on 1 card.

If you add an external GPU card, then YES the onboard GPU on the motherboard IS and HAS to be turned off.
