I’m trying to run 2 monitors, one using the HDMI out on my GPU and the other using the HDMI out on my motherboard. I have internal graphics enabled in the BIOS, but only the monitor plugged into the GPU shows up in Windows 10.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B360M DS3H

GPU: Asus GTX 1050Ti Phoenix

Any help is appreciated!

Rather than connecting the monitor to the motherboard, you can use the DisplayPort or DVI-D port on the card. If your monitor only supports HDMI, you should be able to use an adapter to make it work. Some examples...

DVI to HDMI:
Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-DVI-D-Adapter-2-Pack/dp/B06WVSLSP3
Cable: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Input-Output-Adapter-Cable/dp/B014I8UQJY

DP to HDMI:
