maximus hero viii dual monitor onboard gpu

[alexmares]

Hello,

I have a maximus hero viii with i7 6700k and no gpu yet.
my main monitor id an lg 23 inch connected over hdmi and i want to connect another monitor over displayport with a displayport to vga cable converter.
is it possible somehow to run both monitor?
when i connect the second display it detects it but doesn't work.
maybe i need to change something in bios.

any ideas are welcome.

Thank you!

Hi alexmares

I never tried what you're doing but make sure multi monitor support is enabled in bios, should be advanced tab, system agent configuration.

I don't know if it's even possible to do what you're trying to do, if it doesn't work then get a pcie gpu ASAP, you'll for sure be able to use both monitors then. 🙂
