Does the h81m-p33 have on board graphics?

[Kahlo kahlow]

I've been struggling to either wait for AMD ZEN or just upgrade my current CPU (pentium g3258) and now I am looking at Xeon cpu's as an alternative (the e3-1230 v3, to be specific). I know that the Xeon cpu's don't have an integrated graphics and wanted a back up plan if ever I have issues with my 1060 and I still needed to access my computer. I don't really know what to look for when searching if my mobo has an integrated gpu. I have seen anything written about it so does it mean there is not gpu on the mobo? Also the mobo says that it supports 4th gen intel core/ pentium and celeron. Does it exclude the xeon? I mean I know they are 1150 sockets and it should work but I just want to be extra sure that it will. Thank you!

The integrated graphics is only on the CPU so there's no point in looking for integrated graphics on the motherboard.

The following link shows which CPUs are supported and whether or not they have integrated graphics:

The board supports just about the whole range of haswell xeons.

No intel board has integrated graphics , the igp is always in the chips itself.

Wait.. what is the ''onboard video'' then? And so you're telling me I can use the e3-1230 v3 on this board?

The E3-1230 v3 is in the list of supported CPUs that I gave you the link to.

Sorry, I did not see. Thanks.

^ bear in mind with the Xeon you will have no integrated graphics , just the discrete 1060 you're using.

The 1245 v3 DOES have have an igp if you can find it for a reasonable price.

Lol please... I saw the price in newegg.ca and it's 1 244 xD
No way am I getting this. My range is more around the 300's

That's the cheapest Xeon with an igp I can find , probably not worth the extra over the 1230 though just for that.

You're right the extra price is not really necessary especially since I own a 1060. If my 1060 ever gets destroyed for whatever reasons, I'll just get myself a 20-40$ gpu ready just in case to be able to do some maintenance until I find the problem.
