Hello,
I've been looking for a motherboard that will support VT-D to pass through a video card. At first, I thought it was only the processor that needs to support it, but from reading some articles on the net, it seems the motherboard also needs to support it.
I will use the i7-2600 processor, which does support VT-D, but I cannot seem to find a motherboard that claims to support it, other than the Asrock Gen3 and Gen4. I have called Asus and Gigabyte and they don't even seem to know what VT-D is.
Today, I was on with Intel support and according to them, as long as the motherboard fully supports the processor, it will work and he said this Intel motherboard (DZ68BC) will work. I never really hear of anyone bragging that they bought an intel motherboard, so I have no idea if they are good or not. This one did get 5 eggs on Newegg though. Any thoughts?
Also, how does one know if a board "fully" supports the processor? Maybe all the Asus 1155 socket boards do support VT-D and just won't say it in the manual?
Any help would be appreciated
