Not really suitable for a 9900K. It’s designed for older hardware.

Hello, regarding using the iGPU on the 9900K for secondary displays—there’s no need to disable your DGPU. It won’t reduce its workload and can actually help by offloading tasks to the iGPU. Connecting everything to the 1080Ti is fine too.

For troubleshooting or extra visuals, or when your card is offline and you need to show an image, a second monitor needs minimal resources. The amount depends on the situation.

That's a good guess. It should work for anything.

It doesn’t work. There’s no real benefit to using the iGPU concurrently, except for debugging purposes.

Set up all components on your 1080ti, keeping the iGPU active in BIOS. It's suitable for transcoding tasks.

Not this for me—I have a deal for a brand new, unopened 9900K at 120€. Thanks for the info! I was thinking about troubleshooting, but I guess I’ll just leave it in BIOS and connect both monitors to the 1080Ti. My second screen is mainly for Teamspeak, Spotify, YouTube, and Netflix while I play games on the first one. Transcoding doesn’t really help since I’ll just use the CPU for gaming, not for any serious work.

Only a minimal amount went to the GPU. Just opt for the 1080ti.

I've experienced GPUs failing multiple times and relied on the integrated graphics to rule out motherboard issues before adding another GPU. They seem limited in what they can do, which is why I still prefer having them.

It can help with QSV. Besides that, it serves as a kind of backup display adapter, I suppose.

I rely on it because I often connect a second monitor to my setup, but my card only offers one HDMI connection and I require it for screen mirroring. It’s essentially the main reason I use it.
