On board graphics not working

[aaronbrako]

specs:
DH67BL
i5 2500
Sapphire 6870

Firstly, my new Benq g2220 works on both the 6870's DVI ports, but my old Mercury monitor only works on the upper DVI port

Also, the color on the second monitor is way off ...i cant fix it using the monitors settings or CCC...any ideas ?

Finally, should'nt I be able to use the on board GPU ? I can't. Am I missing a driver or something ?

Have look at these links:
Switchable Graphics 101: The Best Of Both Worlds [Technology Explained]


1 more thing, switchable graphics can only used on Z68 mobos

Intel’s Z68 chipset overcomes the shortcoming of the P67 chipset- which
did not allow users to make use of the
integrated graphics on Sandy Bridge
processors.

LucidLogix Virtu license is required to be implemented by MB manufaturer for this feature
If ur old old Mercury monitor is CRT try to Degauss & see also check the refresh rate

Im pretty sure it goes like this:
H67 lets you use the on board graphics but not OC
P67 lets you OC but not use On board graphics
Z68 lets you do both
someone correct me if i'm wrong.

So if I have just one monitor, and i plug it into the Mobo, it should work, right ? It doesnt

if i am correct
H67 = Onboard Graphics No OC
P67= No GFX OC only possible with K Series processor
Z68=Onboard Gfx & OC only possible with K Series processor Gfx switching possible with Lucid virtue engine

Unplug ur Gfx card and plug ur Monitor to the MB and see if there is no disp RMA ur MB
