Question i want a dual monitor setup, one in my gpu and one in my motherboard

[TheUlteMART]

I saw a lot of threads about this but the poster always said 'the reason I want to do this is that I don't want a VGA to DVI cable' or some sort.
my reason is simply not having more than 1 import on my GPU. I have a 1030 gt and it can only support 1 monitor. so to get a dual monitor setup is only by plugging the second one into the motherboard.

I'd figured that if I play games on the monitor that comes from my GPU, it has the same performance as the game would do if I would've played it on a single monitor.
is this true?
and is there any way how to maybe split the GPU import. maybe with a smart splitter since I think if you had a normal one the monitors would just show the same part.
any help is appreciated.

1. A GT1030 can comfortably run three monitors. If you have a GT1030 with only a single output, that would be very strange. They also don't support VGA directly, so if you have a VGA monitor you want to use, you WILL need an active adapter from HDMI to VGA or DP to VGA.
2. Not sure what you mean by import...port?
3. Video splitters are for duplicating a video signal, actually significantly expensive since they have to do HDCP decryption. No such thing as a 'smart splitter' that I am aware. There are things like USB display adapters though, but that would put the burden on the CPU and memory to simulate a video card.
4. Game performance should be nearly unaffected by having a second display running. Unless you span the game across the monitors. (you can't do that if you use an iGPU for the other monitor) But effectively, you shouldn't see much difference by running a desktop with chats on it or something. It will use some video memory though.
5. Some motherboards support running the iGPU and a discrete GPU simultaneously. Normal behavior is to disable the iGPU when a discrete GPU is plugged in.
6. If you can get the iGPU online, you will then have to set each application to use a 'high performance' GPU that you set.
