Biostar X470GTA - primary video card [solved]

Hello world!

All I want… is to set primary video card in BIOS. This used to be an easy job, unless you have an AM4 board. It’s a mystery why most of AM4 boards won’t let you pick what video card you want.

Then, I simply changed primary card to IGD Graphics (none on Ryzen 3900X…) and now RTX 2070 Super is ignored and primary video is Voodoo 3 PCI mounted on bottom PCI slot. I was convinced that this is not possible. Even Biostar said so:
