The Z68 does support the integrated graphics controller; P67 does not.

But whats the idea of having integrated graphics in Cpu, could it possibly boost the Graphics cards GPU? Or is it only for integrated graphics?
Sorry for my wierd questions Smile

In practice it is better to get a discrete graphics card than to use the one on the CPU, since the one in the CPU is generally weaker. The one on the CPU is better as a back-up GPU or if you can make use of Intel QuickSync. Using third-party programs (e.g. Lucid Virtu) to create a hybrid between the discrete graphics card and the one in the CPU is normally not practical, as it tends to cause issues.

i see, it would be good for secondary graphics, if discrete card could be broken, right?

Anyway thanks for the effort, i appriciate that.


EDIT:Ohh what am i messing, i didn`t read the whole answer.

And an another question to line, is there better graphics card than this Asus hd7850-dc2-2gd5
for the ~300€ price? Wink

I don't think so. That graphics card is already peaking the top of extremity. If you get your hands on something like that, chances are you won't be needing to do a tech switch for another three or four years lol

Yeah, but i have a concern about it`s cooling http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Review/298465,asus-hd-7850-direct-cu-ii---good-overclocker-terrible-cooler-choice.aspx

For ~300€, the 7950 would be it.

Well, in that case I'd suggest you go for something with 6 or 7 as its model number's second digit...that is if you know what I mean.

These models while not as powerful as 8 or 9s in the same class, they consume much less power, are much quieter, and are generally loads more stable.

Frankly speaking though, I don't think you'll often be in need of overclocking that card at all.
