Can a computer have both dedicated and integrated video cards?

If I buy a computer with an integrated video card, will I later on be able to put in a dedicated video card? Reason being is that the software I'm going to use is Autodesk Maya, and it works best with certain recommended video cards.



Thank you in advance!|||Lots of motherboards have both integrated video and also support external video cards, you install the external card and disable integrated video on the bios.



You need to check the model you're getting to see exactly what options it's going to give you.|||yes but on-board video cards slow the computer down greatly, I had an old Pentium 4 core duo 1.6ghz that was running very slowly, I thought it was the tiny 1.6ghz but once I disabled onboard video and added a $60 video card the pc screams now , like a new pc at only $60|||A lot of motherboards will have integrated video with the option to put one in later. The high-end ones don't because it's assumed you will want to use a video card right off the bat with such a high-performance board. Some may not have a slot, so the only way to be sure is to find out if it has a PCI-e (for example) slot, etc.|||Yes, you can install a separate graphics card later on. Just make sure your motherboard has an available slot to install the graphics card, and your Power Supply can deliver enough power to the card if it needs external power.|||yep as long as theyres a place on the motherboard to plug in that video card you want.|||If you have the available slot on your motheboard and a good enough psu.
