"when I made it half height (it came full height) i gave up the VGA port because that was not hard wired into the GPU."
why

"And another question: Its safe to run integrated graphics while a GPU is just sitting there? Like just in my case doing nothing?" In this situation you may as well take the dGPU out and just use the iGPU, assuming it is at least as powerful as intel's HD 3000 |

so it breaks cards just for another output?
i've never seen a graphics card using 2 slots just to get more outputs

I know what the OP means.
Even though having only one expansion slot on the case is super rare (mITX cases have at least 2) a dual height card wouldn't fit in his case.
On a dual slot mainstream card, the top slot is usually taken up with a heat vent, a DVI connector, and a HDMI slot if you're lucky.
The botton slot has a VGA connector and it might have something else, idk. |
