Very mah fan. Have to plug out hdmi from card and put into onboard. Go bios setting change to onboard.

If you are talking about "on the fly" switching of graphics between normal usage and gaming, then maybe take a look at this:

Get the Best of Hybrid Graphics on a Desktop | Maximum PC

Usually you will find this hybrid feature more on laptops with dedicated graphics chipset from AMD/Nvidia for power savings.

Nvidia Optimus technology
AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics

Cannot like that say. Cause if lets say next time your gpu faulty how? At least you got onboard to serve you as a backup.
