Hi, so I recently wanted to have 2 displays up because one for gaming and one for chatting with friends, makes my life easier and I've been trying to connect my VGA only monitor to my motherboard as my RX 570 GPU does not support VGA, the only issue which I have heard is I would have to switch to integrated graphics in order to use the second monitor. My first monitor is connected to my RX 570 and I wanted to see if I can have both up, one connected to my Motherboard (ASrock B450M Pro4) and another connected to my RX 570.

P.S. Due to table space being a tad small I placed the secondary monitor on my PC case (CoolerMaster Q300L) and I dont think this should cause an Issue the monitor is like a few pounds nothing drastic. Let me know if this is a wrong thing to do.

What's your cpu? Unless it has an igpu this is not possible.

Easiest thing to do is to just buy and ACTIVE displayport to vga adapter.

Well then the adapter is the way to go. About the monitor on the case weight wise it's fine what isn't fine is it blocking the vents. If you experience temp issues that may be the reason.

Dp to vga is the way to go. Hdmi is fine but I've personally had a lot of issues with those adapters and so have others.

Yeah my temps are fine, 33C GPU and 39C CPU on idle and doesnt look like itll change much as its not covering my case fans so I think I'm good.
