HP Pro 3010 Microtower PC integrated and PCI-E Graphic cards

[vonRoX]

Hi,

this is my first post in any forum whatsoever... I hope you guys will be able to help me

In my workplace I have HP Pro 3010 Microtower PC and 3 monitors - TV used for presenting products (HDMI) and 2 VGA monitors and I want to run them all using one PC. So I added a PCI-E Graphic card with VGA and HDMI, so now I have one VGA port on integrated GPU and one on PCI-E along with HDMI...
The problem is that I just can't make them work both simultaneously... If I select in BIOS Onborad GPU the PC won't recognize the PCI-E GPU after boot and same the other way around... Please give me some tips how to solve this problem.

Sorry for my English - Hi from Czech Republic!

What is your GPU's make/model ?

Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 210

Connect 1 monitor to VGA, another to DVI, and the TV to HDMI port of GPU. If you cant get signal to the TV with HDMI, then try a HDMI to DVI adapter for TV. See what happens.

I would do that if I had VGA to DVI adapter, but I don't have that... Still I'm wondering why the pc can't use both GPUs at the same time...

You mean IGPU an PCI-E simultaneously ? Meaning on-board and external graphics both at same time ! That cant be done, atleast I hope so.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to do...
Are you sure it can't be done...? that's a shame... I bought VGA to DVI connector, so TV is connected through HDMI and monitors through VGA and DVI, but the PCI-E GPU supports only 2 monitors at a time...so I'm pretty much screwed and the only solution would be to buy better GPU...is that right?

BTW: thanks for your help...

Yes you have to buy another GPU, no other way out. Good luck.
