I got an old monitor that I want to use as a secondary monitor, but it only has a VGA port and my GPU doesn't have any VGA ports, but my mobo has one. I don't have an VGA to DVI cable, but should I even bother getting one?
I enabled IGD multi monitor in my BIOS settings and everything seems to be working. At first when I booted, I got "PXE-E01: PCI Vendor and Device IDs do not match" error and the pc was very laggy, but all the CPU, GPU, memory and hard drive usages were normal, I restarted and everything was working correctly.
There was an BIOS option to raise the VRAM for the iGPU, I set it to the lowest. Should I raise the memory? Does it affect my CPU? Is the iGPU even working? Because I can play games on the second monitor fine (even though I won't be doing any gaming on the second monitor, just testing).
Are there any downsides to using IGD Multi monitor?
Do I have to install Intel HD graphics drivers?
Will this put more strain on my CPU?
