Question Questions for triple monitor display with IGPU, but only two ports on motherboard

Hey guys, i have a triple monitor setup used with an IGPU processor and no GPU in my setup (ryzen 5600g), a 32 inch 4k placed horizontally(HDMI-Displayport sockets) and two full HDs (VGA-DVI-D ports) vertically.

I bought a new mobo ( Asrock A520M ITX/AC) this only has one HDMI and one Displayport. My former mobo had three outputs Displayport -HDMI- DVI-D so i could use it with my apu easily as three separate monitors with separate displays. I would like to know if my mobo and CPU is capable of using just one port to use the two full HD monitors displaying separate content. If so what object do i need? Is it doable with splitting either of the mobo outputs with some kind of equipment and is the igpu able to handle it as separate monitors simoultaneously, or do i need to buy a GPU for the triple monitor setup to run? Maybe from USB-C port?
Also maybe worth mentioning that i would only use it for work and regular tasks, not gaming, 60hz Full HD on the two smaller monitors on the sides.
Would appriciate any help.
 
I don't think your board supports displayport via USB, more of a high end feature.

Splitters do exactly what they sound like, duplicate an output to multiple displays. They would display the same image.

You could certainly get a USB display adapter, but that wouldn't really be connected to the GPU, it would use your CPU and system memory.

Other option would be a cheap video card.
