HD Graphics DVI doesn't work

[graF]

Hey guys,

 

I'm having this weird problem with my HD Graphics DVI-D output. For some reason, when I connect a monitor to VGA, it works fine. But then if I connect a second monitor to VGA via DVI to VGA adapter, the second monitor won't work. 

I have Intel HD Graphics drivers installed, but it just won't detect. Both monitors are working. If I connect one of them to a VGA output, it works fine.

I have a GT630, that got really struck hard by my old PSU that blew up and it's performance is less than half, so I wanna try iGPU. Maybe a 630 for a second monitor and iGPU for the main monitor would work? But then would the main monitor get it's performance from GT630 or iGPU?

More info:

Monitors are 1680x1050 and 1280x1024

CPU is G3258 (HD Graphics)

what's your motherboard model?

It could be the adapter, but I think your iGPU doesn't like that much pixels.

 

Also a dual GPU setup (iGPU and the 630) won't work, you have to use either the iGPU or the 630.

Actually, I can. There's a feature in my MOBO that allows to use iGPU and my 630 at the same time. In fact, I just did that. My second monitor works off my 630 and my main monitor off iGPU. They're controlled by seperate GPUs, but for in Extended View mode. Now to find out where I'm gonna be getting the performance from: 630 or iGPU now

Looks like it will only do one analog output at a time, here's a chart for the msi support page.

Oh damn, didn't think of looking at the MSI page for that, thanks! Welp, now off to experimenting with the iGPU+GT630 combo

Okay, good luck.
