PEG/Onchip VGA Control

Common Options : Onchip VGA, PEG Port, Auto

Quick Review

This BIOS feature is found in motherboards that have a built-in graphics processor as well as a PCI Express port. It allows you to select whether to use the onboard graphics processor or the PCI Express card.

When set to Onchip VGA, the motherboard boots up using the onboard graphics processor, even when a PCI Express graphics card is installed.

When set to PEG Port, the motherboard boots up using the PCI Express graphics card, if one is installed. Otherwise, it defaults to the onboard graphics processor.

When set to Auto, the BIOS checks to see if a PCI Express graphics card is installed. If it detects that a PCI Express graphics card is present, the motherboard boots up using that card. Otherwise, it defaults to the onboard graphics processor.

If you have a PCI Express graphics card installed in your system, you should set this BIOS feature to PEG Port. This skips the detection process, which may speed up the booting process.

If you do not have a PCI Express graphics card installed in your system, you should set this BIOS feature to Onchip VGA. This skips the detection process, which may speed up the booting process.

If you are not sure what to select, leave the BIOS feature at its default setting of Auto.
