I have not built a computer in a while and have some questions about the built in video on the Asus Z97 pro motherboard. I understand that the video connectors that are integrated with the motherboard will work with the Intel CPU that I put in. I am using an i7 4790k just for reference.
If I put a dedicated GPU on the motherboard, will I still be able to use the onboard graphics when in situations that don't require the power of the graphics card?
Let's say I have a single monitor setup and I connect to the integrated display port on the motherboard. Will the system still be using the integrated graphics when gaming or will it switch to the graphics card, even though my monitor is connected to the motherboard video connector? I guess the gist of my question is, will I be able to take advantage of the dedicated GPU's power even though my monitor is connected to the onboard video connector.
Thanks in advance and let me know if something needs to be clarified.
