Z270 SLI Plus, using both GPU and integrated for monitors

[SwingBlade]

Hey folks!

I have the aforementioned MSI Z270 SLI Plus motherboard, and in the BIOS I have it set to boot PEG, 512MB memory for integrated, and multi-monitor is set to enabled. However, when I boot to Windows, the monitor hooked to the DVI-D port is blank and undetected by Windows. I know the monitor works, as I moved it from my GPU's DVI port to test. I called MSI and was told it's not possible, despite the option staring me in the face. What am I missing?

Edit: If it helps, I'm also using i5-7600K processor.

If you have a video card installed the onboard graphics are disabled.
You will need to hook both up to the video card.

Well, it is definitely a feature of the motherboard. I've since come to determine that the likely issue is that my DVI port on my mobo is bum, which was what I was testing on. It is currently running a display from the mobo's HDMI fine, alongside the four monitors hooked up to the GPU. Looks like I'll need to talk to MSI about an RMA.

Have you tried pulling the GPU out and only test the DVI port on the motherboard? I also couldnt really find anything in the manual that says the motherboard itself supports dual monitors, 1 in dvi and 1 in hdmi.

This I haven't tried, though might before RMAing. I can say for sure that the DVI does not provide signal for a fifth monitor, like the HDMI port does.
