Wanting to switch to Nvidia due to issues with three displays with AMD. But majority of nvidia cards only support two dvi ports max and a hdmi for gtx750ti which i am looking for.

I need to run three displays..

Qn: When i run my third display off the igfx (intel HD4600) and i play the occasional game on the main display, will the usage of the igfx as a output affect the fps?

Many thanks in advance!

just tried out. It seems to work. and windows experience index seems to support the theory that as long as the main display is powered by the graphics card, the graphics rating will be higher compared to if my main display is plugged in to the igfx ports

Using a Gigabyte Z87m-d3h.
