So my overall question is. Will my Main monitor only work off of the integrated graphics on the CPU when its plugged into the motherboard or will it work off of the GPU just the same as iff it was plugged into it directly?
Ive been running multiple monitors for over 10 years but ive always been on AMD and this has never been an issue before. But i recently switched to a Intel 6th Gen i7 and its not as as functional.
Basically.. I run 2 monitors on my desk and run my TV as a third monitor To which i play movies and tv shows in 4k Using Kodi
Before the switch to intel... I had my 2 Monitors hooked up to the video card and my TV hooked up to the Motherboard. I assumed that the TV would run off of the integrated and the Monitors would run off of the Graphics card i didnt know for sure but if i was right.. than my setup would be right for that anyway so i just left it.
But after the switch there was a problem with the intel processor not holding onto HDMI audio devices when its not priority in the boot list or it was not active. Thus causing me to have to manually reconfigure everything using the TV's HDMI audio output every time i restart my computer or turned off my tv because those programs defaulted to other audio devices when the TV's audio device wasnt present.
My only fix for this was to plug my tv into my graphics card and plug my monitor into the MOBO.
This works.. the only think is that my bios and splash screen all show up on the TV when i reset my PC but thats a minor annoyance. but i feel like my graphics are not working at full potential.
