I just bought a new 19.5 in samsung tv and want to pair it with my 24 in RCA tv. The problem is they both use hdmi and my graphics card only has 1 hdmi port, so I was thinking can I have 1 display from the gpu and 1 from the mobo. Firstly I tried plugging one into the gpu and 1 in the mobo hoping for the best. Coming to realize it didn't work. So then I heard about enabling integrated graphics/onboard graphics. I found a bios setting that said integrated graphics, and I set it to forced. Didn't change a thing. So now im here, asking for assistance.

My mobo: gigabyte f2a78m-hd2

Normally once integrated graphics is enabled, it should work.

Did you make sure the integrated chip set and driver were install properly and up to date?

May also want to consider a BIOS update.

And if all else fails, you could get a adaptor for the second connection and just connect both to your video card. Like a HDMI to Display Port adapter. Or if you monitor support naively another cable type, just get another cable.

not all pcs can send video to the gpu and the integrated graphics at the same time

though not that familiar with amd stuff

on my intel set up

in the bios i have to set the igpu option to both or multi

then the integrated and the gpu both work at the same time

In going off mobile device for my response, but I currently have a power outage. I read the comments and I'll make sure to try them out soon and get back to you.

Sorry for the delay, we had to go on vacation after the power outage. I solved my issue by finally going out and buying a 20 dollar dva to hdmi adapter and using that on my graphics card for a dual display. Thanks for the advice and time to try to resolve this issue.
