I have a 1050 ti, and a gt 710 in my system. the gt 710 is only there because my monitors are only HDMI and VGA, and the 1050 Ti only has 1 HDMI. Whenever i play games, it puts load on both the 1050 Ti and the GT 710. I want to only use the 1050 Ti while the 710 sits at idle.

P.S. i dont have extra money to go but a graphics card with more HDMI ports or something.
 
Solution
You can simply use your iGPU for the secondary display (that is if your motherboard has the same connection you need) by enabling iGPU multi-monitor in bios settings that way you don't have to use the extra GPU.
