That's right. Every graphics-intensive game I play seems to run just fine in the absence of the thing, with only my onboard video. That monster is just a glorified space-heater after all.

Post some specs..Im curious to see what your onboard video is and what your card is.
Also, what games and settings are you using?

onboard video: ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics Internal DAC(400MHz) Memory: ~700MB
I don't have the card with me, I'll have to get its stats later.
I run EVE and WoW just fine on the onboard video with comfortably high settings. I set them as high as I can even tell the difference. I haven't tried Minecraft or SWTOR yet, but those would give a better comparison since they can actually stress the card on high enough settings. EVE can too, but only in a big fleet battle.

According to wikipedia that one's from 2008... Not a Monster anymore I guess. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Eve and WoW are not very graphics intensive, but yes if you only play those games then onboard HD card will most likely be fine. |

Maybe it's just broken?
On the other hand, we can't really tell until we know what "Monster" Card you're talking about.
I remember when the Diamond Monster used to be good, even if it's a tad underperforming right now. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

the beefy card is a Radeon HD 5770. I know it isn't a particularly modern card, but I call it beefy because it's big and it has a rather large fan on it. I also called it a space heater because it can warm up a small room. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position.

Ok, looks like that one is from 2009 and also not in ATi's high end segment of that series. BUT, that still doesn't explain why an even older even lower tier onboard accelerator has a higher performance than your 5770.
Did You overheat Your card at any particular point in the past or any powerr outages? Because that sometimes can trigger a somewhat slow but steady drop in performance.
Other than that, it could also be a problem with your mainboard. Turning off your onboard card in your bios might help with the performance of it's big nomad brother. ... Lol, at least it used to, it's ages past since I've last had a Mainboard with an onboard graphics accelerator. xD Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Ah, k. Sorry, I thought you said it had a higher performance. Reading failure 101. xD
What You're desribing is actually not unusual.
Neither for ATi/AMD nor for Nvidia cards.
For example, A few years ago I bought a Nvidia GTX460 graphics accelerator, most interestingly that one has more performance than the GTX540 and almost the same performance as the GTX640 if not better (that is actually quite hilarious if you think about it).
That's because in the last few years the performance gaps between each generation have become pretty slim (by design I imagine).
If I now wanted a noticeable better card than my GT460 I'd have to use at least a GTX660, a card two generations younger, also located in nvidias high performance segment of that series.
I imagine AMD would do the same since they have to compete with Nvidia. Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Don't get me wrong here, Great games just not exactly taxing, I've a 7750 in mine and while it's actually overkill on most of your list, it really struggles with something like skyrim with any amount of gfx mods or something like bf4, in both cases I'll get maby 30-40 fps and it still hasn't forgiven me for attempting metro last light.

I can run Skyrim fine. The FPS is low but it's at least 20-30 FPS during action. Have you got mods installed to reduce the memory hogging of the textures? The stock game was horribly optimized.

my last rig used an HD 5770... the one with eyefinity (not the reference model)
make sure you've disabled your onboard video via system->device manager
process goes:
1. remove video card
2. start computer with monitor plugged into onboard video
3. system -> device manager -> graphics adapters (or something)
-> disable
screen will go black, restart any way you choose (practice ctr alt del and up/down arrow keys to select "shut down")
4. install video card
5. restart computer with monitor plugged into video card and ONLY the video card
you will not restart the computer with anything plugged into the on-board graphics output,
you cannot use multiple monitors with onboard graphics AND graphics card
pick one or the other
the 5770 is still sold in mac pros, it's fine for 3 clients on max.
and use interval immediate. opens the throttle. President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub | Rainfleet mk.III-á| Twitch | Imgur | Content \o/ |

Actually no, iv been looking to upgrade so iv had more of a mind to just play less gfx intense games till iv the opportunity, Yeah it is, it's actually unfinished. I'd recommend having a look at the skyrim nexus

I have a 5850 Black Edition - as old as the card is, I can still play most games that I want at 1920x1200 at fairly high settings. There are a few places on Borderlands 2/Payday 2 that cause a little bit of a judder but its not too much; just a FPS drop until I let the card catch up and even then its only by a few.
I regularly run EVE at full settings on interval 1 with 60 FPS constantly but again, with an exception or two: one being Blockade because of the silly placement of the dust clouds)
Reaver - If your 5770 is having issues running EVE, then I think that your card has broken either by overclocking or has suffered failure of one of the components on the card... my brothers GTX 210 was pumping out 125C at one point because of a broken fan and he wondered why EVE kept BSoD'ing his PC.. He got me to replace the fan and it works to a decent degree..

I find that using a cotton bud (Q-Tip) works wonders for holding a fan in place. Blessed are those that carry the Empress' Light; with it they destroy the shadows |

Based on what my brother and you have told me, I'm not sure I was actually using the graphics card, even though it was running its fan and heating up. I have had to blow the dust out of it but it produced heat when it did get good airflow. Anyway, I'm fine with the onboard video. I'll keep the card in mind for any time I want to play anything graphics intensive.
Oh and I've been able to remember some of the more intensive games I can run on this thing: Doom III Dragon Age: Origins Starcraft 2 Hard Reset Return to Castle Wolfenstein Skyrim Orcs Must Die Tomb Raider Legend Star Wars: The Old Republic Vindictus Kerbal Space Program
All of these games have stressed the computer to some degree but none have had any difficulty running on settings that look amazing to me. Those might be "low" settings but when I can see the individual hairs on someone's head, it's good enough for a game. Some of these games' minimum settings don't go low enough for me to tell the difference. In Kerbal Space Program, I used an addon to reduce the texture memory hogging by reducing the size of all textures by 1/4th as loaded into the cache. The only textures I could tell the difference on were little icons that displayed on the screen directly that got shrunk by the addon. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser.
