[SOLVED] A question about integrated graphics

[Otten]

A while back I bought a pc with a Ryzen 5 2400G. I didn't game all that much so not having a GPU and playing with the APU didn't really bother me but now i've bought a graphics card and I wanna use dual monitors but the IGD Multi Monitor option isn't in the bios. Any suggestions on how to use 2400g integrated graphics for my second monitor. My GPU only has one HDMI Input

Its a AMD r9 380 3GB. My friend bought a new GPU and gave me his old one. Runs alot better than just the APU

Running both a discrete graphics card and the integrated graphics of the APU is very much motherboard dependent. What motherboard model do you have? The setting, if available, would be in your motherboard BIOS.

What options for integrated graphics exist in your BIOS? Is there anything that gives you options similar to Enable, Disable, and Auto? If so, set it to Enable.

I thought with VEGA the IGPU was designed to be disabled when GPU is detected.

I would try to enable it in bios.

Otherwise you may be able to use another output of the GPU with an adapter to use 2 monitors.

You can't crossfire integrated graphics and a discrete graphics. Well, you could in the past with a very limited selection of low end cards, but it definitely won't work with a R9 380.

Depending on the motherboard, it's absolutely possible run the iGPU and a discrete graphics card simultaneously. I've done it myself (Intel iGPU, AMD card).
