Mutli-Display GTX 550 Ti and iGPU

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Im aware of the typo in the title, sorry about that. Can't change it.

Hello!

I'm having trouble connecting two screens to my system.
Here is my setup.
Display#1 --> VGA --> "GTX 550 Ti"
Display#2 --> VGA --> iGPU(I believe its an "AMD 760G")
I just want an extended screen but the screen which is attached to the iGPU is not displaying anything.
My motherboard is the "ASUS M5A78L-M USB3"

The screen is detected(See Image #1), but it doesn't display anything, I think its because my system(WIN7-64Bit) thinks the signal for the screen is coming from the GTX 550 Ti.(See Image #2)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Not all motherboards support video output through both video card and integrated graphics. Go into BIOS and check if the integrated graphics aren't disabled.

Anyway, you can always hook up both monitors to the GTX 550 Ti. And the problem would be solved :) .

I would just hook them both up to your 550Ti. Really the only problem with that is your card will idle at a higher temp because it'll stay in 3d mode, load temps should stay about the same. There won't be any performance decrease or anything to worry about.

The Palit GTX 550 Ti only has 1 VGA port, and I don't have an adapter on me.
Here are the BIOs options available to me.
I don't know what they mean.

The drivers are up to date and no, the monitors only have a VGA input.

Do you know what the BIOs options mean?


That means your motherboard only supports using either onboard or dedicated(card) graphics.

Better get an adapter or a second card since your mobo doesnt want to play.

Also to game on multiple monitors with nvidia you need three monitors and two cards.(most of time)

I don't want to game on multiple monitors. I just want another one to display Skype etc.

Unfortunately that, or a monitor with a DVI input (which isn't an option I guess?).

Well, it is.
I ordered a DVI input monitor yesterday, and since I already had two monitors I thought it would be cool to have three of them at once :p 
I realized that my GTX 550 Ti can only send the image to two monitors at one given time, so I'm looking for a way to make use of my iGPU too.
But if that won't work, then tough luck I guess. Thanks for your help guys. :)
