Hello, I wanted to know if connecting a monitor to my graphics card (geforce gtx) is much better in terms of image quality and performance (fps) than connecting it to the motherboard because I have 2 monitors, one with VGA and one with HDMI. But the problem is that my graphics card doesn't have a VGA port while my motherboard has a VGA and an HDMI.
Thank you for your help :)

Hello,
in principle, if you have a dedicated graphics card on a PCI-Express slot in your PC, the VGA and HDMI outputs of the motherboard, connected to the graphics chip of the processor, are disabled, so you won't have any display
Therefore, you have no choice but to use the outputs of the graphics card, which is generally more powerful than the integrated graphics chip in the processor
If you have a monitor with a VGA input and no other input, you will need an adapter depending on the outputs of your graphics card
What is your graphics card?

Ok thanks, I have a GTX 1070. So if I understand correctly, to use dual screens I either connect my two monitors to the motherboard at the expense of performance, or I buy a VGA-DVI-D adapter?
