Just use the DVI>VGA adapter that the card likely came with to connect your VGA monitor to your GTX 760. I don't believe you can use your onboard adapter with your discreet card.

You cannot use your motherboard display out and your card's display out at the same time. Like skit said, your graphics card should have come with a DVI to VGA adapter.

isn't there any cheaper way? DVI>VGA in my country are around 30-60 €

Wow! If your VGA monitor also has a DVI input, just buy a DVI cable and use it otherwise the adapter is probably the cheapest way to connect that monitor.

Your card didn't come with one? Thought all of them did if they didn't have a vga port...

Your graphics card, when it came, SHOULD have come with an adapter. But you can use vga>dvi, too - either way.

Ahh, because it was prebuilt, that's why. Sorry to hear that, but that's pretty much your only option at this point.
