kepoyoh welcome to the Asus ROG forums.

That's one reason why we bought x79/x58 systems. All these rarely have onboard video. The main advantage of X79/x58 is the additional PCIe lanes for (faster operation of) 3-4 discrete video cards in SLI or CrossfireX though. But in the upcoming Ivy Bridge platform with PCIe 3.0 native, this doesn't matter much any more. I only use one video card. Another advantage of x79 is I have a hexacore (6-core) CPU. I paid a big premium to get these features though. FYI.
i7-3930K; Asus RIVE; G.SKILL Ripjaws Z 4x4GB DDR3 1866; MSI 7870 2GD5/OC; Crucial M4 SSD 256GB;
Corsair 1000HX; Corsair H100, 4x Excalibur 120mm PWM CPU Fan p-p, AS5; SB X-Fi Titanium Fata1ity Pro;
Dell U2412m IPS 1920x1200; Cooler Master HAF 932 case; Tripp-Lite OMNIVS1500 UPS fully Line-interactive.
(EVGA site: ) And I have a second (wife's) computer, Eve.

Overclocking is useless to me if it is not rock stable.

The industry is slowly moving to a single unit....before long, discrete graphics and memory will be a thing of the past you will have a stack of silicon doing everything all together in one piece...

I am currently confused look for a motherboard that does not use onboard vga as the previous series, most motherboards are now using onboard vga which I think are cool. and odors in the eye. whether the upcoming series requires no additional vga again like today.

does not interfere with the performance of memory onboard vga additional overclock.
as ram memory will be truncated to onboard vga ..?

Current 1155 motherboard don't have onboard video, what you see on the board is just a connector. The video chip is actually located inside the processor and not on the board itself. So if you got a 1155 board with a VGA connector, and got a CPU without a video chip, then that VGA connector will not work.
it's like Asus Server boards with them SAS connectors, they won't work without a Asus PIKE card.
What you get with onboard video for 1155 is QuickSync and Lucid Hydra Virtu MVP

what the onboard vga can reduce the resulting performance :confused:
