So i recently set up 2 monitors and I'm having problems. I need to use ingratiated graphics for my second monitor and use my 750ti GPU for my primary monitor. The only reason i cant use my GPU for both monitors is because i cant fit two dvi cables on it. :( So i wanted to use my ingratiated graphics for my second moniter, but i have an oem mobo and i think the bios doesn't have a feature to do that. :(

You need an HDMI to DVI or VGA to DVI adapter.

intel motherboards as far as i know turn off the igpu if it detects a dedicated gpu. so thats a no go. amd apu's dont though although there is a latency issue when moving your mouse across the screens.

 

hdmi to dvi is probs ur best bet

Im pretty sure you can turn on the IGPU in the bios for Intel, and AMD can't use the APU and a GPU at the same time from my experience

As far as I know, that doesn't work. They both have to be on the 750. Unless there's some bios setting to re-enable the integrated graphics and run both. But I've never seen one.

I am already using a dvi to vga adapter for my primary monitor and cant fit another

Your graphics card has multiple video outputs, you can use any number of converters for the secondary output to your secondary monitor. That is literally all you need.

They will both have to be on the 750ti in order to work. What's the model of the 750ti you're using, because I saw you said you don't believe you will be able to use another adapter with it.
