Using 2nd monitor with onboard graphics

[quiel90]

Hi. I'm having a bit of a problem with this.

I have 2 monitors, both with VGA input. The thing is my graphics card has only 1 DVI-I that I can adapt analogly (I have no idea if that's the right word). I know that with Intel Graphics you can use the onboard connector as 2nd monitor.

My problem is that I have a AMD FX processor. Does anyone know if it's possible to do the same thing?

 

In case it's needed:

CPU: AMD FX 8120
Motherboard: Asus M5A88-V Evo

GPU: EVGA GTX 660

You could use a USB Video adapter, as long as you don't plan on gaming on the second monitor.

fx 8120 has no igpu. so that is a bummer. you'd need to connect it all from gpu

You could just get a HDMI to VGA adapter

I can't at the moment. Where I live those are somewhat expensive.

But my motherboard has an onboard Radeon HD something. Isn't possible either?
