I have a asus Z87 deluxe. and a nvidia GTX 780 ti and I want to utilize asus thunderbolt 2. Does the graphics card just integrate into the motherboard or doI only get the graphics boost through the gpu hdmi port?

Thunderbolt has nothing to do with your graphics card. They work independently. Thunderbolt is for fast data transfer to and from your pc to other devices.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)

Apparently next gen Thunderbolt (40 GB/s) will use Display port connectors so you can move say 4K movies from device to device quickly (a lot quicker than USB3.0) but at the moment from what I've seen its primarily aimed at interfacing with external drives (that also have to have thunderbolt connectors) - 20GB/s (?)

You get the graphic boost when you plug in the hdmi or vga cable in the 780ti card. If you want to change the motherboard then you can move the 780ti card in the new mobo if you want and reinstall the drivers.

What i want to do is install the asus thunderbolt 2.0 expansion slot to Daisy-chain. So my question is would the power be re routed to the Gpu, and if not does the Gpu work with the motherboards HDMI port so i can Daisy-chain with the graphics boost

This is what im talking about

I want to use it to give my card the Daisy link capability of the Titan Black. If it works it would actually be a little better

But what i wonder is will my graphics card be able to take advantage of the upgrade? or does it only affect the motherboards ports?
