Two screen monitor setup

Hi All
Can anyone suggest a best setup config for two-screen windows 11 Premiere Pro setup?
I've an MSI Z790 Carbon with an i9-14900k CPU.
The graphics card is a RTX 2080 Super. It has display ports and HDMIs.
The board obviously has an HDMI out connection from the CPU.


So should I stick purely to the graphics card's connections or use the on-board hdmi for one of the monitors?
One monitor is a quad resolution and the other is a 1920x1080 screen

Thanks!

I would use both HDMI outputs from the NVidia 2080 Super to each of your screens.

Load latest Driver for RTX 2080 Super from NVidia site before hand.

I keep the Intel iGPU active (ENABLED IN bios) and have that output into one of my monitors (screen can select that HDMI   that can switch between NVidia output and Intel iGPU from the system motherboard.

Sometimes if there is an issue on the discrete NVidia GPU (rare)  you get blank screen everywhere - then switching to the Intel GPU from the motherboard normally reveals what is going on to get things sorted again.

The NVidia software also loads a screen mananagement utility where you can configure the two screens plugged into the NVidia ports.
