This has never been necessary for me.

Are you attempting to enable use of multiple seats?

Are you attempting to utilize the PCIe card without having it connected to a
powered up display prior to POSTing? Sometimes this will cause a GPU to be
unrecognized.

Not all motherboards' BIOS support using the IGP at the same time as a PCIe card.
You may find this evident in BIOS setup, or need to make a BIOS setup change in
order to enable use of your PCIe card at all. Your motherboard manual should cover
this subject.
