Dual monitor with igpu

[vkarakostas]

Hello,

CPU: Intel core i3 2100 @ 3.1GHz

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P8H61MX_USB3 (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61MX_USB3/specifications/)

The mobo has 1 dvi-d and 1 vga.

I have 2 monitors with vga ports only.

Can i use both monitors usings the mobo ports?(i bought a dvi-i to vga adaptor)

i dont have a graphics card.

@vkarakostas I'm shure you can yes.

You need to enable Intel multimonitor in the bios in orde to use this function.

Actually he can not in his case. It is impossible to convert DVI-D to VGA. DVI-D lacks the required analogue pins.

 

That said, he can use 2 monitors just fine, but it has to be 1 DVI-D (or HDMI, that can be converted easily), and one analogue (VGA or DVI-i with adapter).

My bad I thought he said DVI, not DVI-D

DVI-D = digital only

DVI-I = digital and analog

VGA = Analog

 

If you had a DVI monitor you would be able to do dual monitor, but you can't convert DVI-D to VGA with a DVI-I to VGA adapter, so you're out of luck

in this picture https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M_LEUSB3/gallery/ i think it is a dvi-d port but on the asus site it says that the mobo has dvi-i support

Here you have a table. DVI-I Allows you to have a DVI to VGA adapter and use it for analog, DVI-D is digital at all times, you need a external adapter to convert dvi-d to vga (not the cheap ones, they are for some other things I don't know about) But they shure cannot send any Analog (VGA) waves to your screen.

Are you using 2 vga monitors?
If one of them has a DVI-D port use that one instead, there are also DVI-D to hdmi adapter cables (I currently use one for Dual Link DVI-I).
