Hi,

I don`t play and games at all, do i need a dedicated graphics card? I have two monitors running at 1920*1200. I would like to be able to play HD videos. I'm building a new system so looking for a mobo with integrated graphics?.

thanks,
Gareth

to me, that seems like a rather high resolution for a integrated HD. but u a cheap 50 eur card will to the job for sure. hope some of the guys here know if a good 785GX board can do the trick.

well whats the motherboard you got or looking into. some Integrated graphics can handle 1080p while other cant handle them well.

just realised its got to run two dvi monitors, so i will need a card. Guess something like a 4350 512MB will be fine. thanks !

Yeah, a cheap 4000 series card will work fine for what you want.

hd 4350 is a good card for what you want if your onboard solution is not up to the task!
