The cards themselves usually dont, but there should be a small hole in the top of the bracket where it sits on the case.

I like to disable onboard video after I install the card, but that's just me. Regarding, using both onboard graphics and a graphics card? My experience has been that it depends on the mobo. Mine won't. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number mATX Custom: "The Tower"

Ok I tried installing a ATI graphics card to my computer and I left the video on auto since it didn't have an option to disable it. I turn it on and all I see is a black screen and I can hear the HD after a while loading the OS. What is going on with the card? I also disabled the on-board video from the device manager. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Dimension 3000

Does the screen work if you plug it into the onboard video?
