Asus Z87-A On Board Video + Expansion Video

[Beltian]

I am trying to get the on board video to work for my third monitor, and for some reason it is not showing up.

I have:

Asus Z87-A Mobo
i7-4770K
16GB Ram
2xGTX 550Ti in SLi
1 Monitor using DVI on 1st slot 550
1 Monitor using HDMI on 1st slot 550
1 Monitor using VGA on on board VGA connector
Windows 8 64-bit

For some reason it is not allowing me to enable or even see the on board graphics in the device manager. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

Hi, look through your motherboard manual to chapter 2 page 30 for iGPU Multi-Monitor [Disabled] by default

Allows you to enable the iGPU multi monitor. The iGPU shared system memory size
will be fixed at 64 MB.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

I have a feeling the only way of enabling vga port is by enabling multi monitor in the bios. But the system memory is locked in at 64MB. The hdmi and dvi on the motherboard might have priority over vga and auto detect allowing upto 1024MB in shared memory.

Have you tried hdmi or dvi yet from the motherboard?

Anyway, the settings will be in the bios, look through your manual.

Thank you very much, I did not see that setting when I was looking through the Bios. Thank you that worked.

no problem

it'll be there, will need to go to advanced window in the bios. When you click exit, you'll have a popup window with an option for 'load optimized defaults' clicking that will enter you into a different area of the bios.

The options for igpu will in there.
