I plan to upgrade to a Skylake based system soon. The board I'm looking to get is the Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7; primary reasons being the onboard Creative Audio, and the good number of SATA connectors. The processor will most likely be the Core i5-6500. I presently have a Gigabyte Windforce R9 290 GPU, which I will continue to use.
My question being, can I get display on both from both the motherboard back panel (the Intel graphics) as well as my discreet GPU simultaneously?
The PC will be hooked up to a projector, and used for movies. I'd like to use the discreet card display just for gaming, while I use the Intel graphics for the projector hookup for movies. Is this possible? Or will I need to configure/change some setting every time?
