Can I use integrated graphics and a graphics card at the same time with two different monitors?

[Jawz_cod]

What I mean, is that I would like to have one monitor that will just be for the internet, running on my Intel HD Graphics 530. The other monitor would display my game using my graphics card. Is that possible, by just connecting one to motherboard and the other to graphics card?

Thanks!

If your motherboard support multi monitor, yes you can. Check in your BIOS to enable that feature.
Alternatively, you can still plug the 2nd monitor to the graphic card, it should not affect the performance that much.

Okay, thanks. Anyways the reason I can't plug them both into my graphics card is because it uses an old connection that my graphics card doesn't have on it.

Check your motherboard manual. Most of the time a dedicated GPU disables the integrated graphics provided from the CPU.

Of course if your graphics card has two outputs and supports two monitors, which almost all do, then you could connect both to the GPU. In games you would simply use one monitor rather than spanning across multiple monitors (EyeFinity or similar concept).

Edit: If by "old connection" you mean VGA then you'll need a DVI-I to VGA converter. Most cards offer at least one DVI-I port (NB: DVI-D will NOT convert to VGA).

You can get an adapter. I assuming you talking about VGA.
