Enable Direct Graphics Controller Direct Output mode

You can connect four external displays or two 8K displays on computers with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 discrete graphics card installed. To do so, you must enable Direct Graphics Controller Direct Output Mode in the computer's BIOS.
NOTE When enabled, the graphics signals are sent to the external display using the discrete graphics card instead of integrated graphics. By default, this mode is disabled in the computer's BIOS.
To change Direct Graphics Controller Direct Output Mode in the computer's BIOS:
  1. Restart the system and immediately press <F2> to enter the BIOS.
  2. On the BIOS screen, select Display.
  3. Select Direct Graphics Controller Direct Output mode.
  4. Select Enable.
  5. Save changes and exit the computer's BIOS
For more information about accessing and configuring the BIOS, see the computer's Service Manual at www.dell.com/support.
