Good morning, how are you guys? I have an a320m PRO4 motherboard with BIOS version P2.50, and I needed to find in the BIOS the option to activate a second monitor in addition to the Primary one. In this case, one on the video card input (OFFBOARD) and the other on the motherboard input (ONBOARD) at the same time, but I couldn't find this option anywhere, could someone who has this model, or knows it, help me? Thanks!!! =) |

Good afternoon from Spain I have no experience with AMD APUs (CPU with integrated graphics) but would be interesting to post here your CPU model, is the key question to confirm that you can use the ONBOARD video outputs. ------------- X399 Taichi (4.03) Threadripper 2950X DDR4 2 x HX432C16FB3K2/32 |

Goodnight! All good? Yes I can, my CPU is the Ryzen 7 1700 and if necessary my GPU is the 8GB MSI Aero GTX 1070 Ti! In this case, as I mentioned, I intend to connect one more monitor, only on the Motherboard's VGA or DVI output! Thanks!!! |

Thanks Soulber No, you can't use the VGA/DVI onboard outputs for secondary monitor because Ryzen 7 1700 do not have integrated graphics. My advice is to use your MSI Aero GTX 1070 Ti to connect/manage all monitors, looking at all the outputs available on this GPU it makes no sense to use the motherboard video outputs. If your second monitor only has a VGA input, you will need an active adapter/converter but they are not cheap, you should consider if it is worth it.

SerchTech is correct, your 1700 does not have an iGPU. The onboard display outputs require a CPU with an iGPU, AMD calls theirs APUs. Something like a Ryzen 5 2400g or 2200g etc. So no, you cannot use the display outputs on the board with your current configuration. As SechTech said, you should use your 1070Ti to control both. Your card does have DVI, HDMI and Display port outputs. You will need to use displays that are compatible with these output types or use converters. -------------
