How to use 2 Monitors, one conneted to the GPU and the other to the motherboard?

[Brian_179]

Hello,

I've been looking around the site and none of these solutions have worked for me. I have 2 monitors with VGA cables, one into the GPU, other into the motherboard. Both drivers are up-to-date. When enabling the IGP in BIOS, only the only connected to the motherboard works, and the other isn't detected. When I change it to PEG (PCIe), it's vice versa. What are my solutions?

Thanks.

Depends on MB and it's BIOS, not all of them can use both at same time. Does your GPU have a DVI-I connector extra ?

If you have Windows 10 or most other Windows versions go to Settings>System>Display and then press detect. If the cable is plugged in properly, it should say that it's detected. The other monitor should then be displayed and you should be able to use it (I think didn't test it lol).

Only if BIOS and MB allows it. Both would need own drivers.
