ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are disclosed for an information handling system comprising an internal graphics system and an external graphics system, wherein both the internal and external graphics systems may operate simultaneously to support multiple monitors. The internal graphics system may be provided, for example, from a notebook computer. The external graphics system may comprise a pass thru port providing graphics from the internal graphics to a first monitor simultaneously with a graphics card of the external graphics system supporting a second monitor. The external graphics system can support two monitors, as well. HDTV can be supported instead of one of the monitors supported by the external graphics system. The system which contains internal graphics capabilities may include an Express card socket, wherein an external graphics processor unit of the external graphics system is coupled to Express card socket.
