I would like to know if I can run dual monitors one off of my GPU and one off my integrated graphics. Anyone got a clue?

That one is usually a no. The system can use only integrated graphics, or only discrete graphics. You can drive multiple monitors with multiple discrete GPUs, though.

Depending upon what operating system you have, the make/model of your GPU and make/model of the mobo. Most of the time the answer is no....

What GPU and mobo do you have? Most can run dual monitors.....

With Windows 7, you can run both (you have to select the onboard graphics as the primary and the PCI as the secondary). I have the extreme3 mobo with a smaller GPU, and on Windows 7 it worked great.....upgrading to Windows 8 forced me to choose.....

If you are only running 2 monitors - I would suggest using the GPU only....
