Hi, I have a quick question: Would it be beneficial to plug my secondary display in the integrated graphics slot, or would it be detrimental to the system's performance?

I've always had my 2nd monitor in the 1070's HDMI and my main monitor in the 1070's display port. I don't have any problems per se, but the main display is 244Hz, HDR, 4k, while the secondary one is a generic 60hz, 1080p monitor. I was reflecting on the fact that this might be a challenge for the GPU with the different refresh rates and resolutions.

Btw, integrated graphics are from MSI B350M Arctic with Ryzen 5 1600 48GB RAM.

Thanks in advance.

That CPU doesn't have an integrated GPU anyway so it's a moot point.

To answer the question, though, just leave the two monitors plugged into the GPU. This is not detrimental to performance or degrades the GPU in any way.
Hey thanks, I realized the silliness of my question just moments ago.
