One monitor (GPU) another monitor (CPU display)

[Onardonardo]

I have AMD Ryzen and a separate GTX 1060 on my PC. I would like to display one monitor through GPU-HDMI and another monitor through Ryzen's on board display-VGA.

Is this possible?

My GPU only has one HDMI port and no VGA ports. Both drivers is up to date. In the display manager, it can only detect my GPU.

Ryzen 5/7 does not support on-board display as it doesn't have an iGPU (integrated graphics). Your motherboard's display ports would only be enabled if you plug in an APU (or the soon-to-be-released Ryzen APU).

What you can do is get an active DisplayPort-to-VGA or an active DVI-to-VGA adapter so that all your monitors will be connected to your GPU.

I was wrong, the graphics isn't coming from the Ryzen but on the on board graphics. I have an MSI B350M/ A320 Bazooka. Can I use this for display, while the other output comes from the GPU?

The on-board graphics is dependent on the CPU you have, not by the motherboard.

The MSI B350M Bazooka and/or the MSI A350M Bazooka does have HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA ports - but these on-board video output ports can only be used if you are using a 7th-gen A-series AMD CPU which has integrated/on-board graphics (yet to be available in desktop PCs).

As of this date, Ryzen CPUs (such as the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7) does not support on-board graphics. So, plugging a Ryzen 5 or a Ryzen 7 CPU on that B350M/A350M motherboard will not enable its on-board video output ports, and thus, no on-board graphics.
