Generally, no.
As soon as you populate a PCIe slot with a GPU and connect a display, you can then no longer use the onboard GPU..

With some boards/BIOS though, you can re-enable the onboard graphics and use them concurrently.

For example, in ASRock boards you could navigate to:
Advanced, Chipset Configuration, IGPU Multi-Monitor and "enable".

ok. so if the bios has that option and I enable it. afterwards I can use 5 monitors

It'll depend on the specific CPU/Motherboard & GPU.

Some GPUs will have, say 4 outputs. For arguments sake, let's say 2x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort and 1x DVI-D.
You may only be able to use 3 of those at any one time (including adapters).

Coupled with your motherboard that may have, say 1x HDMI & 1xDVI. With the correct config, 5 monitors should be doable.

If you have mix of Digital (DP, HDMI, DVI-D) and Analog (DVI-I or VGA), you may find theres a limit lower than 5.
