Got a new pc. Now some games are only running slowly. In the search for answers (my PC knowledge is just enough to use a PC) I came to the conclusion that the graphics card is hardly ever integrated with me. I have already activated it in the bios, but still runs, for example. Minecraft only with about 10 - 17 fps. What to do that games run on the graphics card?

Connect the monitor to the graphics card…

Did you also connect the monitor to the graphics card and not maybe to the mainboard after all? Otherwise it is possible that you are using the significantly slower graphics chip of the processor. That would also explain the lack of load on the graphics card.
Is the graphics card driver up to date?

So the driver should be up to date, but how do I know whether I have connected the monitor to the graphics card or to the processor?
You can see that when you look at the back of the PC. When the monitor cable is plugged into the mainboard, as I mentioned before, only the processor's graphics chip is used. Before plugging in, I would shut down the PC to be on the safe side.
