Need help: Triple Monitor Display using Integrated Graphics and Dedicated Video Card

Hi All,

I've been scouring the net, and I've seen that people are able to set up their displays to have an extended desktop over 3 different monitors, using both integrated and dedicated video cards on a single computer. I've seen them do this by changing a setting on the BIOS, in advanced chipset settings.

I'm running windows 8.1, and when I boot into BIOS, it goes into UEFI. I can't seem to access any graphics options from UEFI.

Is there any way for me to change the chipset settings on UEFI? Thanks for your help.

Hello PatrickG,

Let me help you.

It is possible to set triple monitor configuration but it is necessary to follow and meet some requirements.

When having a video card and Intel® HD graphics on the same computer it is called Switchable graphics. There are some computer models that support this feature but the Computer Manufacture is the only one who can confirm if the motherboard supports switchable graphics.

If using only HD Graphics controller, you can find important information here:

Hey Kevin, thanks for your reply. I will figure out if my mobo is able to support switchable graphics. I'll let you know how it turns out.
