Hi

I'm about to bulid a new pc. I want to use a R9 290 with an 4690K and an asrock z97 pro 4. I have two monitors. One 1080p with hdmi and i just bought an old proffesional monitor with the res of 1280x1024 and it has vga input only. The question is can i use the hd graphics for the old monitor and the amd one for the primary display? Or is it possible to run two different amd graphics cards in a system, because i want to overclock the cpu too and disableing the igp is gooad as i heard.

If you want to use the motherboard outputs, you have to enable igpu multi monitor. Some motherboard can do this. some can't.
You need to download the VGA drivers as well form the motherboard's drivers and support website.
E.g ASUS ROG BIOS has an option:

So i can install the drivers for the hd graphics too and connect the vga monitor to the mobo? I think i won't overclock till stock speeds are enough or i will give a try to an active displayport-vga adapter.

Thanks. I hope that the z97i-plus has this feature too.
I think the cheap vga screen will die before i have to oc my cpu, or i just find one with digital input from a big company.
(i bought this one from a bank for like no money)

MOst of the r9 2xx series has a single dvi port that an adapter can be used on.
