The motherboard graphics aren't working when i plug my monitor into it. I would like to have my iGPU take care of my second monitor so my GTX 970 doesn't have to use the extra VRAM and power to render a second display (since I don't use it for gaming). I was looking for suggestions to get that working.

Enable iGPU multi monitor in the BIOS.

ok thanks. I've been trying to download and install drivers and it still doesn't work. That would make sense to enable it in the BIOS.

My BIOS doesn't have an option for that. I have an ASUS Z-87A NFC Edition btw.

It should be in there somewhere.

No not in the OC section or in the CPU section. It does say "CPU Graphics speed : ?" (I forgot the speed)
