How do I set my primary display video card?
Some computers may have two graphic cards: one built into the motherboard, and another dedicated video card for high-end video display. If you have multiple video cards the game may be playing on the built-in video card, which is often not as good as a dedicated video card. Setting a primary display card will force the computer to use the card you chose when playing.
