Running 1 monitor from graphics card, and 1 from motherboard

Danbuscus25 · Apr 27, 2014

Ok, so i want to run 2 monitors, my main one hooked up to my graphics card for gaming, and the other hooked up to my motherboard, for monitoring temps and other things. i cant run them both on the graphics card because it only has 1 vga port and both monitors are vgs. so, i went into the bios and enabled the integrated graphics, and enabled my main monitor on the graphics card and it said that i could run a secondary card from my integrated graphics. so, after enabling that, i booted and nothing changed, still only 1 monitor and my computer wont detect the second monitor. my graphics card is radeon hd 6670 and my mobo is biostar a960D+ with latest bios.

i know, i just dont have the money or time, as im only 15 years old >.<

Does the mobo manual say you can run both at the same time? And does it show you how to do this?

Danbuscus25 :

You can't get $5?

I don't believe that.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 27, 2014

well, i suppose i could in about a week and a half, and the manual doesnt say anything about monitors, but the bios has an option for surround something that says it will enable a secondary monitor from the integrated graphics and a primary monitor from the graphics card.

Have a look at the card specs http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=1169&lid=1

It can display 2560 x 1600. So the 2 monitors would have to be sub 1080p resolution

The specs also say that it comes with this.

Looking again did you not tell which brand/manufacturer,so which are we talking about?
Didn't it come with it?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 27, 2014

it was from HIS and did not come with any adapters, only low-profile brackets. and both monitors are 768p.

Funny thing is most graphics cards actually come with a free dvi to vga adapter, so like tons of people have them laying around with no use.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 27, 2014

oh, well i guess HIS is too cheap for that XD thanks anyways guys, ill just buy an adapter when i can

Danbuscus25 :

Actually HIS is one of the top AMD manufacturers, but i guess you just got a cheap card.

Cause I got an HIS and it came with tons of s*** I didnt need.
