For the life of me I cannot get the IGFX enabled on my 3570K / Z77X D3H. I would like to mess around with Virtu MVP, therefore I would like 1 monitor be connected to the IGFX and the other Connected to my Discrete G/Card. I already have a been using a dual monitor extended desktop, but I usually would turn one off before playing a game, I would like to know if there is another viable option. I have also heard of a performance increase in things like encoding video.
Specs:
i5 3570K
Z77X D3H
8Gb DDR3 1600
HD6870
What I have tried thus far,
Enabled the IGFX in BIOS, set Initial First Display to PEG, connected a 2nd monitor to the both motherboard display ports (separately), the result was a constant boot cycle after the gigabyte logo for both ports.
Enabled the IGFX in BIOS, set Initial First Display to IGFX, connected only 1 monitor to the motherboards VGA port and DVI port, same result on each port, boot cycle after BIOS logo.
Tried altering the shared memory right up until 1024Mb, no go. Tried this all at stock speeds and voltages and at overclocked settings, still a no go.
I have installed the Intel HD4000 drivers but I had to remove the 6870 in order to use the IGPU so the CPU is still functioning correctly.
Now I had already assumed that its a choice between one or the other, but after coming across some information on Virtu MVP, I was curious to see if my chipset and CPU support a dual GPU setup with the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU.
Apparently its possible, but the "how" part has me scratching my head.
So is there anyone with "My CPU and Mobo" who has gotten this to work, or is it a waste of time trying?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
