Basically i have a dual monitor setup currently both plugged into my gtx 770 (2gb edition) my primary one i use for games and is 1920 x 1080, where as my other monitor is a some what old one from the past at 1680 x 950 and it is used for netflix, youtube, web surfing, etc, mostly video watching while i play games.
Will my GPU get better performance if i instead use my cpu graphics for my second monitor, or will it not be a big difference. Also my cpu is an i5 4670k, another thing i use hdmi for both monitors. if there is a better cable out there please tell me (I don't look much into cables i just use what works)
Thanks!
First time user so sorry if i messed up anywhere.

What are you using the second monitor for? If it's just games, netflix, etc., then it won't really matter. Both the intel's integrated CPU and the GTX 770's CPU will be able to happily tank that kind of light load with no ill effect.

With that gpu, running both monitors from it will make no difference performance wise, and will enable you to use nvidia's settings for both monitors, rather than intel for one and nvidia for the other.
