PowerSpec B734 multiple video cards

jay_tee

I bought a PowerSpec B734 & an Intel Arc A380 video card. The intention was to use monitors connected to both video cards. It appears that you have to use either the onboard graphics or the add-on video card. Simultaneous use doesn't appear to be an option. Is there a work around for this. I'm on a 6 monitor set up.

You might be able to force this to work with a BIOS setting adjustment. ASRock has a guide on how to enable "iGPU Multi-Monitor": https://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=493. Power the system on, tap DEL or F2 to enter the BIOS and follow the instructions in the article. May need to press F7 for the advanced menu.

It might be tricky with the Intel ARC cards as they require Resizable BAR to be enabled and I am not sure how that functionality is handled when using both a GPU over the PCI bus in parallel with an iGPU on the processor, but in theory, it could work.
