Question Dual monitor setup question

[Clever name]

I'm getting another monitor for my pc. I plan on using 1 for gaming while the other is used for very basic things. Like Google or watching YouTube. I'm wondering if I can plug my gaming monitor into my graphics card AND my casual monitor into my motherboard at the same time?

It depends if the motherboard BIOS supports simultaneous use of both GPUs, so you'll need to look at what the BIOS offers, in many cases it's only either/or, not both.

Anyhow, doesn't your graphics card support two monitors? That's how it's usually done.

Thanks. I just wanted to know if I needed to buy an adapter for the other monitor.
