When enabling on board graphics in bios and then you choose to duplicate display are you using on board graphics at the same time as your dedicated card?. So if I playing a game first on my NVidia card is on board graphics trying to play at the same time causing more heat etc?.
 
I am trying this for fun. Any way. I have display port into my NVidia card and monitor plus latest drivers. I have HDMI to HDMI connected to mother board and monitor. I set both onboard display and NVidia display to be both duplicate in windows 10 so it would act as one monitor. I turned the PC on with the Display port NVidia graphic card first. I started up city skylines and then once in game I changed to HDMI on my monitor which is plugged into motherboard. The graphics are set to max and resolution 1440p and both onboard graphics and NVidia graphics exact same performance. I thought that changing to HDMI using onboard that the performance would be a lot less.
