Can I Use Integrated and External GPU Simultaneuosly?

[LeoLoon]

Hey! So I have an internal AMD Radeon HD 8570D and I got an external GeForce 210 1GB.

Will it be possible to use both at once in a single display and have a performance (fps) improvement?

If not, will it be possible to use the external GPU so I can have an extra dedicated monitor/display?

You can use them both for having multi monitor setups.
They cannot be used simultaneously to improve performance.

You cannot use both togheter to get better performance. Just so you know but your 8570d is a lot better than the 210.

Will it be better to just use my integrated 8570d for 2 monitor or have dedicated GPU for each?

It depends on your motherboard's BIOS. You would need to look at graphics/GPU options in the BIOS to see if both GPUs can be used simultaneously, allowing you to have a monitor plugged in to each.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from LeoLoon : "How to enable iGPU for dual display?"

Hey I think I really messed up. So I just installed an old GPU that found hoping that I can use it for a second display. However, my iGPU (better than the external) does not work. I went to BIOS setting an it only shows auto, disabled, and force. Also how can I make it so that my iGPU becomes the main one, if that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Using a gpu for each monitor isn't going to give you any extra performance just more potential problems so just use your 8570d.
