| 1442900 | 2017-12-01 00:53:00 | I have a Nvidia 460 vid card and on-board graphic. My present setup: Both monitors connected to the Nvidia vid card. They work just fine. No issues. Should I connect one monitor to the Nvidia vid card and the other connect to the on-board graphic? What are the pros and cons? |

| 1442902 | 2017-12-01 02:58:00 | Only pro I can think of is a slight drop in the load on the Nvidia card if you like to play games on one while doing other stuff on the other. But if you are not noticing issues then that's not really going to matter. Oh and another pro is if you want to use intel quick sync for encoding, but as much as that feature was hyped up when it came out I've never found a use for it. Cons, um... the onboard using some system memory if it's enabled. Not much but it might make a difference. Oh and you can't dual screen game over two different adapters like that. That's all I can think of. I use onboard for my second monitor, but just because I have an Oculus rift that's using the only HDMI output and my main screen is using the only DVI. It cause me no issues though. |
