integrated graphics is a chip in the motherboard,not the cpu,except amd apus.they arent generally good for gaming so a dedicated gpu is needed to improve your gaming experience.

ok fine

A chip in the motherboard, are you sure?!

 

[aldan]

yep,except for apus integrated graphics is part of the motherboard.open up your computer and see where your monitor is plugged in.if its integrated it is on the motherboard.

 

[calza]

So if using an amd APU where do you plug in the monitor, onto the chip?! No it's the motherboard.

What you're saying is that if I swapped my i5 4670k for a Xeon, I'd retain integrated graphics because it's intel and part of the motherboard..

 

[aldan]

what are you smoking???of course its the motherboard,but in an apu its tied to the cpu.and why,even if your motherboard supported it would you swap an i5 for a xeon? you seem to be the poster boy for the saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". very little in your case it seems.
