How to Enable Onboard Display and GPU Card Display Together on a PC

Introduction

Enabling both the onboard display (integrated graphics) and a dedicated GPU card display allows you to use multiple monitors and enhance your productivity. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up both displays on your PC.

System Requirement

  1. Hardware Requirements
    1. A motherboard with integrated graphics (onboard display).
    2. A dedicated GPU installed in the PCIe slot.
    3. Sufficient monitor cables (HDMI, DVI, VGA, or DisplayPort) for each display.
  2. Software Requirements
    1. Updated drivers for both the integrated graphics and the dedicated GPU.
    2. An up-to-date operating system

Enable Onboard Graphics in BIOS/UEFI

  1. Access BIOS/UEFI
    1. Restart your PC and press the BIOS/UEFI access key during boot (usually DEL, F2, or ESC).
    2. Enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
  2. Enable Integrated Graphics
    1. Navigate to the Advanced or Peripherals tab (this varies by motherboard manufacturer).
    2. Locate the option for Integrated Graphics, IGD Multi-Monitor, or a similar setting.
    3. Enable the setting. This allows the integrated graphics to function alongside the dedicated GPU.
    4. Save changes and exit BIOS/UEFI (usually by pressing F10).
