Title: questions about onboard graphics
Post by: Enthusiastic on October 06, 2016, 07:02:17 pm
Hello, i am a new to PC's and i would like to know about enabling onboard graphics,
so my problem is that i have a gtx 960 and a monitor that only has a vga port, and the graphics card does not accept vga only hdmi, so i whanted to know that if i enable onboard graphics on BIOS to be able to use the monitor directly on the motherboard vga port will the graphics card still work? or will it switch to integrated graphics?

i would really apreciate if anyone could answer this question for me, and if it will switch to interated graphics, what are my options to be able to use the motherboards vga port withouht disabling the graphics card?

There is no option for this.  You have to use one or the other.  You'll need to by an adapter.

Ultimately a new monitor might be the way to go as you might not be able to enjoy the full resolution capabilities of your card using an adapter.
