I7-4790K Graphics supported resolution

[HIKMA2015]

In the Graphics Specifications of i7-4790K Processor I read the following:
Max Resolution (HDMI 1.4) 3840x2160@24Hz
Max Resolution (DP) 3840x2160@60Hz
Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel) 3840x2160@60Hz
My question is:
Will the integrated graphics achieve this or does that depend on the presence of a discrete card?

That is what the integrated graphics are capable of delivering. Resolution of a discreet card will be determined by the card model and output type on THAT card, not by anything to do with the CPU or motherboard.

Thank you darkbreeze! excuse my naivety in this area … but if I just plug in my high resolution monitor will I get 1440p picture quality without having a discrete graphics card just using the combination of ASUS sabertooth mark1 Z97 MB and i7-4790K CUP?

If that's the native resolution of the monitor and you connect to it without using adapters, then yes, it should. Sometimes you might have to right click on the desktop, select display properties and set the resolution to your desired specification, but in most cases it should do this automatically on newer hardware.

You will also want to make sure you have the current chipset and graphics drivers installed, as listed on your motherboard's product page at the manufacturers website. You always want to install those motherboard drivers, all the ones that apply, rather than use the Microsoft supplied native drivers, anyhow. Generally they are specifically tailored to that particular hardware, rather than being a generic driver that works across a variety of similar platforms.
