iGPU + dGPU is it possible now?

[Roxe__]

I know it's been asked before but most of the answers are very old. So i'm here to ask now.
I have a 2 monitor set up running on i7 haswell + gtx680 (MB: Z87-PRO).

One of my questions is can i used one (gaming)monitor with the dGPU and (browsing)montior with the iGPU? If not, anyway to use iGPU + dGPU together in anyway without hurting performance?

Another question is, what about with the future graphic cards and CPUs coming out this year, will it be possible then?

Much Love

Most motherbds have allowed this for quite some time now. In the bios, set the GPU to initialize first to PCIe, PEG, or dedicated. Do not disable the iGPU. And now you have both cards running independently.

Right but is it optimal, like do i gain anything from this? Because as of lately ever since i've added my second monitor, my GTX680 has been failing at small time games like 'Table Top Racing: World Tour'

What do you mean by 'failing' ?

Failing as in it's crashing whenever I try to run games I know it can handle, the whole "Nvidia drivers stopped working" message, or sometimes my monitors would go blank but my computer would still be running, and I would have to restart it.

Did you make the dGPU the primary adapter in the bios?
I've don't this in the past but my last couple builds have been amd so I ran a gaming gpu and a low end gpu for the second monitor.
This normally allows the gaming card to dedicate all it power to running the game while the other GPu handles the rest
