Question about dual monitors

[Nonco]

My dad is getting a second monitor for his computer.

 

It has a Quadro 600 GPU inside. Which is like DVI + Displayport.

 

My question was, does the second monitor have to be plugged into the displayport or could he plug it in via the motherboard VGA while the other monitor is plugged into the DVI on the GPU?

I remember doing something like this a while ago when one of my adapters broke.

Just remember that anything you put on the monitor that is plugged into the motherboard will run on the integrated graphics, so if its graphically intensive it might lag.

He just uses the PC for basic things. Emails, web browsing, word docs, PDF reading, videos ect.

You're Dad shouldn't have any problem with using his graphics cards for 1 monitor and the integrated graphics for the other monitor. To answer your question, no it doesn't have too be plugged into the graphics card
