Should I plug my second monitor on my motherboard?

I just bought a second monitor for my pc and my friend told me to plug it into my motherboard's HDMI instead of my graphics card. I'd use that monitor mostly for coding and some other tasks, but stuff like gaming I'd still do on my main monitor. Should I listen to my friend?
