MSI motherboard ignoring discreet graphics card for V-BIOS
Well-known member

MSI Pro Z790-A Wifi motherboard
MSI RTX3060 Ventus 2x 12GB graphics card
Intel Core-i7 13700K processor (with integrated graphics)
Recently doing an experiment where I wanted to enable CSM mode on this motherboard.
When trying to change the BIOS setting it would not stick, throwing up a message:
"Onboard graphics V-BIOS is not supported in CSM Mode. The "BIOS CSM/UEFI Mode" will be changed to UEFI.
Problem is that this system does have a discreet graphics card and the BIOS setting Graphics Configuration > Primary Display Adapter is set to PEG (not IGD).
The Ventus card is V-BIOS compliant.
Any ideas of what the problem is here?

I was able to switch mine to CSM mode with no problem.
Do you have the 13700k's onboard video disabled?
This is with an Intel® Core™ i5-14600K and a PNY RTX 5060 Ti OC 16GB.
