    Usually with those cheaper video cards that have DVI+HDMI+VGA, only two of them will work simultaneously. Don't ask me why, but it's a thing.

    Have you tried plugging one into the IGP? I don't even know if that works or not myself though.

    As far as I know you can only use either the onboard or graphics card. No both.

    The dvi, HDMI and VGA should work. But as pointed out, some of the cheaper cards can't handle more than 2 at a time.

    What card is it do you know?

    Hi thanks for the replies!

    It's a nvidia geforce 620.

    I read that you can use two cards together to run another two monitors I bought an at radeon just to run two extra monitors will this work on win 10?

    Doesn't look like the 620 does 3 monitors.

    Has your PC 2 pcie slots for the 2 cards?

    According to the spec it has 1 extra pciex1 and 1 extra pcuex16
