integrated graphics Help w/ Skylake Integrated Graphics

[itsTrickAF]

Hey guys! So I just updated my rig, went from an old Celeron 723 processor to a new i7-6700k on a z270x motherboard. Unfortunately, I spent all my budget on the new board and processor and wasn't able to update my gpu. I currently have an AMD R7 240 and it really doesn't perform well in Overwatch so it's been hard for me to play(stuck in bronze). I want to switch to the integrated graphics on my gpu because I've tested it without the graphics card installed and I get better frames; however, I have 2 monitors hooked up to my gpu, which I won't be able to do as my motherboard only has a singular HDMI output. Anyone know how I can disable the graphics on my gpu and use the integrated graphics while still being able to utilize my gpu's video outputs? Thanks a bunch.

go into the BIOS and enable the iGPU for multi-monitor. in the same area you should be able to configure which is your primary monitor source, set that to iGPU or iGFX or whatever your BIOS calls it. in windows, run your games on the monitor connected to your motherboard. Run your secondary monitor(s) off of whatever other GPU's you have in your system, in this case your R7 240.

There's no possible way to do so. Doing so in theory would mean that your GPU is still processing video output from your PC even though you want to use your iGPU.

Just set the monitor connected to iGPU as a main screen and let the other one plugged into the AMD 240.

Games on the main monitor should then use iGPU
