I just tried it...no go. Maybe with a dummy plug. The more I think about it though...I think it prob will not work. If someone tries the dummy plug let us know how it turns out.

with the dummy plug in the graphics card, and VGA cable plugged into onboard:
so i guess not.
(dummy plug is verified to work, using on a GT 240 for PhysX now)
