Can I use the onboard graphics simultaneously with a graphics card?

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7770 that doesn't cooperate with a 3rd monitor well. If I enable onboard graphics in the BIOS, can I use the third monitor with the onboard graphics. I don't plan to do any gaming on that monitor. Just an extra monitor to put stuff on.

The normal mode of operation is to use one or the other. Why it worked as you said I don't know!


You need to connect all monitors to the graphics card and disable the on-board graphics.

Why is that? I have heard it work before. I have gotten it to work before.

Oh. Okay. Find it rather odd that it worked though.
