Can I run an extra monitor if I'm already using all the inputs on my GFX card ?

As per the title, I'm wondering if I can run an additional monitor even though I'm already using all the input slots on my card.

I have a 2070 Super which has 3 x DisplayPort and 1 x HDMI input...

I'm running a 3 screen setup already - two monitors via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI.

The remaining DisplayPort has my VR connected to it.

I have a fourth monitor which I'd like to use, but short of swapping-out the VR for the Monitor all the time, I'm not sure how I'd connect it.

Is it possible, and what would be the best way of doing it ?

Have you got onboard gfx in your motherboard.....use that?

Plug in a second GPU and away you go. My 2080 Ti didn't like co-existing with onboard graphics.

Yeah, would that work?

I assumed it would be a case of one or the other, not both. I'll try it though.

If it’s enabled in bios it should work

It doesn't work on my Gigabyte board.
