Use onboard graphics for second monitor

[yungblood]

My GTX 760 doesnt like second monitors for whatever reason, could i use my a8-7600 onboard graphics to ddisplay a second monitor

It'll work.

Should work fine, and as long you have Dual (or more) channel memory, it would even perform decent as well.

i had to install amd drivers but other than that its good yeah @That_PC_Kid

Offtopic - But we are here to learn

 

One fully justified reason to use iGPU for some AMD products is that when you use a second monitor...

example - My older HD7950 sits at 1000Mhz/1250Mhz Core/Memory under load. When idle, it will declock to 300Mhz/150Mhz, but NOT with a second monitor.

With a 2nd screen attached to the HD7950 my memory clock stays at a fixed 1250Mhz, causing much higher idle temps than I was used to seeing.

So I enabled my HD4600 (iGPU) and put the 2nd monitor to that, now my AMD card declocks like normal to 300/150, has lower temps on idle (less fan noise)

 

You DO however... lose the Monitor CLONE ability, and VSR (Downscaling) features can't be used on the second monitor as a different GPU feature set is now driving it.

You can enable the HD4400 (iGPU or whatever model urs is) and yeah, plug your second monitor into that iGPU output on your backpanel.

Any AMD GPU that is known to have a fixed memory clock (no declocking) with dualmonitors gets rectified with this.

can i get a intel cpu an use that onboar graphics

Most Intel CPU's have onboard graphics... and can be used a the same time as dedicated hardware. (Not same time in games, but outputting a display, yes)

Most motherboards disable the iGPU when a PCIE GPU is installed, but can be re-enabled in the UEFI/BIOS.
