Hoping someone can clarify this for me...
I have a i7-2600k (Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz) Product Specifications)
plugged into an Asus P8P67 DELUXE motherboard (P8P67 DELUXE | Motherboards | ASUS USA) with the Intel P67 Express Chipset. Since there is no on-board graphics, I have a generic video card (I forget the specifics).
The confusion I am having is that the spec for the i7-2600k shows that it has Intel HD Graphics 3000 and that QuickSync video is supported but yet my MoBo doesn't have any video ports.
1) do you think this was just a design decision made by Asus to skip the video? [edit - google is your friend - yes P67 chipset doesn't allow for using internal graphics but does have other advantages such as SLI/Crossfire)]
and follow-up 2) do you think hardware acceleration would not work in my case even though the CPU seems to indicate it would? [edit - google is your friend - seems unfortunately QS won't work with P67 chipset]
[edit - leaving this post as reference for archiving and is anyone else is interested but I think my questions have been answered.]
