I am making a build based off the core i7 2600k. I have never worked with integrated graphics on a CPU. I will not be playing games, mostly running productivity software, but It needs to support 4 monitors. I was planning on using the intel 2600K and a Evga 430 in conjunction. How well would the combined graphics be?

Hi

You are not going to run 4 monitors off that card....

Put in something like a pair of 8400 gs cards with Ultramon as the software to run them...and forget the onboard graphics...

My company builds machines like this for 4 or even 6 monitors for Estate agents...

All the best Brett

hi,
Intel's integrated graphics can run two displays if the motherboard has the ports. Almost every board will have an HDMI port, most have a DVI or VGA port as well. A tiny few have a DisplayPort. For more info feel free to contact www.crcomputerrepair.com
Thanks

Hi

Too general that advice, and you are NOT meant to try and sell your own products here at Toms....

And.... dvi + vga+ hdmi = 3 ...NOT 4...

All the best Brett

You won't need any extra software to run the monitors. He is right though. Just pick up another 430 to run the extra monitors.
