how to use graphics card on my dell Inspiron 3656
I have an Inspiron 3656 desktop and I would like to install a video card that it came with (was not pre installed). The graphics card is an AMD Radeon R9 360 card. I installed the card into the motherboard and plugged the HDMI cable into card and I cant get anything to display. I plug the video back into the onboard HDMI slot and checked my bios settings and I dont see any option to disable the built in HDMI card.
I also plug the card in and boot up using the onboard slot, and in the device manager it does not even show the Radeon card. Does that mean the card is defective?

Yep, sorry I missed that - most people don't have destops these days and the Inspiron was originally a laptop series...

Did you read anywhere that this was possible with this specific laptop and graphics card or are you just trying it and expecting it to work?
