GFX not showing up in device manager

[xSeppuku]

I just built my own computer and I have a Radeon HD 6950 installed. When I go to the device manager it tells me that Intel graphics are currently running even though my motherboard comes with no on board video. I can play MMORPG's and other games on thet highest settings with no problem at all, so I'm pretty sure my graphics card is working. I just don't know why it's not showing up on the device manager. Any ideas?

Thats weird....

Sounds like its clearly working and everything at least. I am not sure what would cause that. Maybe something in the bios?

What anything? All we know is the video card. OP, could you list your build?

Is your monitor hooked up to the card or the motherboard?

That motherboard has onboard graphics. It even has an DVI and HDMI outputs. How could you say that there are no onboard graphics?

You must have the onboard graphics enabled in the bios. Windows installed a driver for you, or its prompting you to install one because it sees the onboard graphics.
