New build. Safe to install both AMD Radeon and Intel video drivers?

[Techhog]

The title says it all. It's nice to have the IGP as a backup, and I may even use it to power a secondary monitor in the future. I also kinda wanna see what the IGP can do. I'm weird like that.

Of course..
I would install chipset driver which usually will includes the iGPU first, then the AMD drivers.

Short Answer yes......long answer Sol's specially with win 7 and 8 drivers actually almost play nice with each other as they are kept seperate from each other

Hello Techhog,
Here are some links to AMD support/drivers site I hope you'll find useful (just in case):

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
(link to drivers page)

http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/catalyst-uninstall-utility.aspx
(link to the Catalyst Un-install Utility. It will remove any existing drivers from your system, preparing it for the new version)

fyi Nvidia drivers will interfere with Lightboost on Radeon cards

So, it won't let me install the HD 4600 driver, nor does the iGPU show up in the device manager. Why is this? Am I missing a driver or something?

Is it enabled in the BIOS?

Hm... Good question. That must be it. I'll check it in a bit. Thanks!

I just ordered a 7950 for my i5 4670k build. It didn't work. The monitor didn't turn on with the card plugged in and I couldn't install the latest drivers for amd. I reinstalled windows 7 to completely wipe the drivers, but that didn't help.

Did I mess something up or is the 7950 dead? The fans spin.

Anything I should try?

I still have the card. I plan on shipping it back tomorrow.
