[SOLVED] Mobo VGA and GPU hmi at the same time?

[kyrios]

Hello, i have a curious question...

I was watching a video, and a guy said something about avoid connecting a monitor in a mobo and gpu cuz it might by-pass the graphic card, although that didnt answer my next question:

if i connect my monitor to my Mobo VGA connector and the Hmdi to the Gpu at the same time, but i make sure that im using the hmi option from my monitor, will that cause any kind of "performance reduction" in my Gpu? or anything at all?

If you don't mind, I would just like to know why o e would want to do this?

2 cables to same monitor? What's the point?
Yes, you can do that. No it doesn't cause performance reduction.

What happens here, VGA output from motherboard will be non-functional, because having discrete graphics card usually disables integrated gpu. You'd have to manually change options in BIOS, to enable video output from motherboard.

BTW - you haven't listed hardware specs of your pc. It's possible, your cpu doesn't have integrated graphics at all.

well, i always connect both so i could switch to VGA if the HMDI option stops working by any reason, and avoind having to look for a posible hidden or lost VGA cable.

thank you! your answer cleared my curiosity, or that was more like a doubt i guess

btw, i have an i5 7500

The i5-7500 is an APU so your system does have integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 630)

You don't call Intel cpus - APU.
That is term for AMD A-series cpus and Athlon (with integrated graphics) cpus. Also sometimes Ryzen cpus with integrated gpu are also referenced as APUs.

Thanks for setting me straight - - never too old to learn.
