Should be set to just drop the card in and install the new drivers. Onboard video auto-disables once a add-in card is detected.

If you have on board video, you'll have to grab a soldering iron and de-solder the GPU off the motherboard.

Don't you still have to change the settings in the BIOS though?

depends on the Mobo/BIOS, some automatically recognize the new card and run off that one, and it'll disable onboard automagically or gives you the option to still use the onboard to drive an extra monitor.

If he actually tried it, I'd laugh my balls off and call him a retard.
