That's been my experience, if a VGA monitor is connected that's where I see the BIOS messages, if *only* a TV set is 
connected the BIOS messages will appear there.

This is with 5xxx and 6xxx series nVidia cards.

If the card is installed in a mobo with integrated graphics, the BIOS should be set to "AGP first", "PCI first" or the 
equivalent, else it will output to the on-board VGA connector.
