    Primary monitor connected to motherboard but want games on secondary


    I have two monitors. Due to limitations on the ports my monitors have, my primary monitor is plugged into my motherboard and uses my CPU's integrated graphics. My secondary (smaller) monitor is plugged into my dedicated graphics card. If I start a computer game, it comes up on my primary monitor but this is not ideal because the graphics would be inferior. How can I make it so that the game is on my secondary monitor which is connected to my dedicated graphics card?

    :)

    Issues connetcing to second monitor

    Original Title: Not able to run dual monitors on windows 10.

    Hi,

    This is my first post. I am trying to plug-in two monitors to one CPU.

    I have 2 video cards, the primary : Built-in motherboard video card, the secondary is : NVIDIA GTForce 610

    I have my primary monitor connected to NVIDIA GTForce 610, I already installed my graphics drivers.

    I have connected the secondary monitor to the motherboard port.

    Now, when I go to [Right Click > Display Settings > Detect] // Results in "Didn't detect another display"

    I am aware of the fact that a motherboard video card will automatically get disabled if it detects another video card.

    Please help me with this issue.

  3. Maxzimize Button Missing in Microsoft Games in Version 1511

    I recently installed the Windows 10 update to Version 1511. Now the maximize button is no longer in the title bar of Microsoft games such as Sudoku.

    I have two monitors & want to be able to move the game to the 2nd monitor, leaving my primary monitor free for other applications. However, the games are stuck maximized & I cannot move them off of the primary monitor.

    How can I move them to the secondary monitor.

    I would suggest you try an adaptor of some kind for you monitor to connect to your GPU.

    I have two Samsung SyncMaster S20B300 which have a DVI/VGA ports...my new GTX 1060 has 1 DVI port and 1 HDMI port and 3 display ports. So I had to get a DVI to DP adaptor and it works flawlessly. As the GPU doesn't recommend using a VGA adaptor.

    What you have to do is to change system (in GPU driver) to use it instead of IGPU. That's common thing with dual graphics in laptops for instance.
