Omnino 4/Intel DQ67SW - does it disable onboard GPU when you add a graphics card?

[Cazale]

Bit of a specific question. I have a request from someone who wants to use a 3 monitor setup on an Omnino 4 (two additional monitors). I know some motherboards disable onboard graphics when you add a graphics card (some of the Dells another school have does this, they bring up a message saying the configuration is unsupported on the monitor plugged in to the onboard ports).

 

Before I ask them to go out an buy a graphics card with a couple of extra ports, I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can still use the onboard DVI port(s) in conjunction with a graphics card running the other two monitors? I'm assuming you can, but you know what they say about assuming (...), so just wanted to check if anyone had tried this?

The board will support up to two integrated graphics interfaces plus one PCI Express Graphics card simultaneously with required changes to the BIOS setup.

Perfect. Thanks.

Most will disable the onboard if they detect a PCIe card. you can usually change this behaviour in the bios, i.e set it to Auto, or always use on board, or always use PCIe.
