You can buy a DVI -> HDMI - adapter for a couple of bucks. Same goes for DisplayPort.

I don't know what options your mobo offers in BIOS. My mobo does have such an option, but I don't have the same mobo as you do.

You could use an HDMI splitter like this

this only mirrors the display, which i would think it's not what OP is looking for

OP wants to have different image on both displays. A splitter like that is useless for that purpose.

So when I did that forced graphics I couldn't get back into the bios on either HDMI port so I reset it by taking out the cmos for 30 secs and now I can't see the bios at all

Did you turn your PSU off and wait for the capacitors to empty before doing that?

It seems that its not possible on AMD? I only have experience with this with Intel, but in the BIOS there was always an option to enable the iGPU with the eGPU for encoding and extra use of HDMI output on the motherboard.

 

Anyone here have experience with AMD iGPU and eGPU, is it even possible?

Just did it again, capacitors must not have been emptied

weird, it should be available as a feature as i've seen people run AMD APU with dGPU plugged in

maybe try emailing gigabyte, see what they say
