Hi, im trying to run dual monitors on my PC. I plan on having a 16:9 1080p monitor hooked up to my card and a 4:3 plugged in to the onboard GPU. problem is i cant seem to activate it. Does anyone know how to permanately enable the onboard gpu in the bios on an asus z87-a motherboard? also, the processor is a i5-4670k and the card is a PNY 650, i plan on upgrading to a more powerful one and using dual monitors on a single card but not any time soon.
 
Solution
On many boards you can run both. Every 115x with video outputs has igpu multi monitor option in bios. Intel specifically introduced the feature alongside quicksync. But it is just simpler to run all monitors off your 650. If you still want to, in bios it's under advanced > system agent configuration > graphics configuration; enable igpu multi monitor. Then just install the intel drivers in windows.
