Is it possible to connect 1 monitor to the motherboard and the second to the video card? Will they work like this?

Question

Iron

I have 2 VGA monitors. The motherboard only has one VGA input. If I connect a video card and a second VGA monitor to it, will they work?

Answer 1

You can, if your motherboard supports the simultaneous operation of discrete and integrated graphics.
If not, then there is only one way out - to use a video card with two outputs.

Answer 2

Yes, they usually do.
As an option - external USB video cards, such as https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/724121dd7b653332 . But there may be nuances, sometimes they give a bad picture.

Answer 3

In general, you can. But:
- In the BIOS, you need to force the integrated graphics mode to be enabled (from AUTO to enabled).
- The processor must still have a video core - in your case it does (but, for example, intel i * - **** F series - does not).
- A weak video card will probably have the ability to connect 2 VGA (1 via an adapter), so there may be nothing to fence the garden for.
- Install drivers and configure monitors in the operating system.
- Acceleration on each port will be from the vidyuhi to which it is connected. Those. run 2 windows with a heavy game on different monitors - will not work. And for example, acceleration of CAD applications can work much better on the built-in one, so when switching to a video card, on the contrary, the brakes begin.

Answer 4

If the video card has VGA, then most likely there is also DVI-I, use a DVI-I - VGA adapter to connect a second monitor
