Question Can I use the iGPU in my R7 7700X for a second monitor while at the same time my 4070 Ti SUPER runs my main monitor?

My current build:
R7 7700X }
MSi B650-P WiFi AM5 } Microcenter bundle
G.Skill Flare X5 32gb DDR5 }
PNY Verto OC 4070 Ti Super
Crucial T500 1tb
Montech Sky Two

Current Monitor:
G5 Odyssey 34 inch ultrawide

I'm just curious if it is a possibility and how it would be done if possible. Running 2 monitors with only my 4070 ti super would make games run worse with the extra load on it. It would be great if i could run 2 monitors with 2 gpus at once without spending more money.

You plug the main monitor to the gpu, and the secondary one to the motherboard.

If you set the game to occupy both screens, then yes. Otherwise, the gpu doesn't bat an eye at an extra idling screen.

Oh, thank you for correcting my misunderstanding. So, having something like discord open doing a video call shouldn't really put a bad amount of extra load on the dGPU right?

Right.

This is the way. I got a 5600G and 3060Ti running this way. Just make sure the iGPU is enabled on your motherboard as well if it's not working.
