    Hello!

    I recently bought a computer set and I intend to upload Windows myself to a new disk. I do not have much experience ... at the beginning I have a dilemma whether the monitor (which has a DVI input) should be connected to the DVI output on the motherboard or on the graphics card?

    Is there a difference?
    Or maybe at the beginning (before uploading the system and drivers), connect the monitor to the motherboard, and then (after uploading everything) switch to the graphics card, does it matter?

    The one on the motherboard is used as a replacement when you don't have an "external" one.
    When the "external" card is mounted in the motherboard slot, the one built into the motherboard is turned off.

    If you didn't have a graphics card in the PCI-E slot, then you would have connected to the output of the integrated graphics card.
    The drivers do not matter here, it will work on an additional graphics card.

    What colleague has the motherboard and what is the graphics card. Although there is little chance for integrated graphics to be better than dedicated graphics, it's always better to check. And at the moment, as they write above, connect to the graphics card.

    I have a GIGABYTE GA-MA74GMT-S2 motherboard and a GeForce CUDA GT430OC card.

    I connected the monitor directly to the DVI card, it works OK.


    Now I have this question for the oriented ones ... if I wanted to connect a second monitor (VGA), where should I connect it, is it VGA from the card or maybe from the motherboard?

    Will I have a parallel image on two monitors ??

    From the card.
    You set in the drivers whether you want to have an image extended to two monitors, the same on both monitors or, for example, to watch a movie on one and browse the internet on the other.

    So I connect an additional monitor to the card, and in the drivers, it is different in the "NVIDIA Control Panel" settings, which I have access to from the context menu (after right-clicking on the desktop) ..?

    Yes, but restart the computer when connected.
    After just like you wrote-right key and NVIDIA Control Panel, and there you set the extended desktop.

Topic summary

Connecting a DVI monitor to a computer can be done through either the motherboard or a dedicated graphics card. It is generally recommended to connect the monitor to the graphics card for better performance, as the integrated graphics on the motherboard are typically inferior. If the graphics card is installed, the motherboard's video output is disabled. For initial setup, connecting to the motherboard is possible, but switching to the graphics card after installing the operating system and drivers is advisable. When adding a second monitor, it is best to connect it to the graphics card as well, allowing for various display configurations through the NVIDIA Control Panel.
