Graphics Boot device

I want this computer to still use the graphics card for gaming/processing - But i want to be able to use the onboard VGA port for the main output (Yes... We still use VGA here; DVI is non existent).

 

Currently i only see Initiate graphic adapter [PEG] with an option of [IGD]. I would like to know if i change it to IGD, will the computer still use the GPU for gaming/video processing?

I would say get an adapter for whatever port your GPU has, to VGA. Much simpler and guarantees the GPU is being used.

I have one - But i do not want to sell this computer with so many loose parts. Its much simpler to pop in solely a VGA cable than this adapter and the cable. Shouldn't be necessary :/ #JustSouthAfricanThings

Ok. Most forums I have seen online says to use an adapter. 

I cannot help you with this otherwise unfortunately. Although good luck getting it to work.

Its working; and I can get it to do exactly what i want it to do (Push the graphics out of onboard VGA on boot) But i'd just like to know if it will still use the graphics card for processing
