I have 3 monitors but all of them are very old. 2 of them only have vga display and 1 has dvi and vga. If I get active converters to hdmi or dvi will this help quality for gaming
set up
cpu amd fx8350
gpu any gtx 970
motherboard asus sabertooth 990fx r2.o
also someone said I should get asus crosshair v formula-z because sabertooth doesn't support igpu (multiple monitor display) which didn't make sense to me because I thought that mearly had to do with gpu capability to run igpu. I mean sabertooth can even run sli can someone please help
 
Solution
the quality will be the same and not even noticeable.

IGPU (Integrated graphics processing unit) is integrated graphics, and the FX 8350 doesn't have that.

So without integrated graphics can I still take advantage of a monitor with 1080p or more with 140+ mhz and so ok so what they meant is amd fx8350 will not run igpu therfore asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 won't have igpu because it is amd board but damn intel i5 4960 will take me much longer to get thanks for help
 
Integrated graphics is useless with many people with a discrete graphics card. Pretty much all modern day graphics card will outperform integrated graphics by a long shot, and as a result it isn't used if they have a discrete card. 144Hz requires graphics adapters much better then IGPU's, and not having it shouldn't be an issue as you wouldn't need it.

Ok good to know cause I think 350$ for a graphics card is a better part spent on but seriously tbinking about whether ill regret buying amd products at all because motherboard will only run 1 type of processor so If I want to switch from amd to intel I'll need to buy motherboard again should I just go intel I already have
fractal design case
Cpu cooler corsair h80i
Psu evga supernova 750 g2
hyper x fury 8gb ddr3 1600
samsung evo 850 120gb
