Though it may be possible to use both card/motherboard video... most motherboards are configured to use either one or the other. You'd first have to enable the onboard video in the BIOS, and then install the drivers for it.

You're actually better off just plugging the second monitor to the video card's second port. You'll then enable dual monitor modes thru the driver's control panel.
