Should I connect to GPU or MOTHERBOARD?

Hello

Hmm I'm wondering if it makes difference putting cable into GPU or motherboard. Someone told me that GPU will like function same as motherboard cable hole since GPU is plugged into the motherboard. Is it true? or should I plug in into the GPU.

can you please edit your OP and include your hardware spec if possible? generally, plug into your GPU. most likely your GPU have better capability than your internal graphics (motherboard).

I want to use two monitors, extended ones. When I connect one to GPU and one to Motherboard it does not work. So I'm thinking to put both into the motherboard cus I dont have two different cables for one GPU.

When your discreet GPU is plugged in, it shuts off the motherboard video out. Do yourself a favor and get the second cable to use with the discreet GPU.

if you are using the second monitor for any type of gaming, you should put them both on the GPU. The embedded iGPU on the CPU is not capable of handing that workload.
You might need to turn on the second monitor in display settings when they are both connected to the PC. It is also possible the iGPU is disabled, which is a setting found in the Bios of many motherboards. Make sure it is enabled if you want to use the motherboard graphics port.
