My motherboard has VGA, DVI and HDMI so does it support three monitors at once?

My motherboard has a VGA, DVI and HDMI output so I figure I can attach three monitors to the motherboard directly and another two to the graphics card. Is that right?

HI THXT139

Yes, you can run three monitors off the iGPU and two off the graphics card, make sure you enable multi monitor support in the bios.

60 Hz on all monitors or just the integrated graphics ones? If I play a game it will only be on one monitor so I wonder whether the others can be prevented from sapping performance when they're not needed.

im not 100% shure all 3 of the onboard monitor out will work since its connected to the CPU ( yes this is CPU graphics ) and how mutch load it will take or if it will work. ( i know one monitor will work but not all 3 at once )
but on cpu i would guess max 60hz or lower refresh rate, and on gpu depending on monitors and games and how powerfull the gpu is ( as usual )
