iGPU for more monitors

Maslofski · November 25, 2021

Hello. I just upgrade from an i7 8700k with Gygabite Z.370 HD3P to an i9 11900k with rog Z-590-F and have been trying to set up my system as before.

Now previously I was running 6 monitors: 4 on the gpu and 2 on the iGPU.

With the 11900k I cant seem to get it to work.

The one thing I found that makes sense is to enable the iGPU in BIOS, but it didnt show up, so I used the workaround some described to disconnect the GPU, then boot into BIOS and select it.

That worked as far as activating it, but once I reconnected the GPU it still only shows 4 monitors.

Is there any other way to activate it, as that trick is the only one I found that everyone repeats.

so what you probably mean are these steps, but that only shows up when the gpu isnt installed. if i set them when not installed, save settings and reboot with gpu it doesnt keep it enabled.
