ATI or NVIDIA motherboard with IGP (1 Viewer)

I recommend you buy a discrete graphics card. ATI's HD4000 series, even at entry level, will be better than any IGP.

In fact i like IGP for power consumption. So what i am hoping to do is have an IGP and a discret card. And only use the card when playing games. i might be able to do so with the 180 Nvidia series drivers

My ati 4670 throttles @165MHz core, 249 Memory in desktop mode and 300Mhz core 400memory (I think) in HD videos. In games it switches to full throttle @750/1000 core/mem. Consumption-wise I couldn't ask for more at this moment.
