for when i build my pc in a week im just wondering this.. my GPU has a Display port, a DVI and an hdmi, with my setup of 2 monitors im forced to use one as VGA, and one as either dvi or hdmi (in this case ive already purchased and have a dvi to vga for one of my montiors, and a display port to HDMI and a display port to vga (idk what ill play to use when i buy a 3rd monitor soon.. watch it will end up being dvi only so ill have to get a diffrent display or a new adapter lol) these monitors are standard 1080P monitors, im looking for good fps in games which normaly lag on my prebuilt pc with no gpu.. will that FPS lower because instead of using a plug on the GPU i use a usb to VGA/DVI/HDMI/DiSPLAY PORT? i have 3 plugs so im set for a while but just in case im curious if it would end up using the built in motherboard GPU making everything slow to shit quality

If you use a USB to [video output] adaptor, you're circumventing both your dedicated and integrated GPU and using whatever display adaptor is included with the USB device. The USB adaptor should be ok for basic desktop use but not anything more than that.
