Integrated Graphics Subsystem
6.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the graphics subsystem that is integrated into the Q45 GMCH component.
This graphics subsystem employs the use of system memory to provide efficient, economical 2D
and 3D performance.
All systems provide dual-monitor support in the standard configuration. The SFF and CMT
systems include two PCIe graphics slots for upgrading the graphics controller by:
Installing a PCIe x16 graphics card in the PCIe x16 graphics slot, which disables the
integrated graphics controller
Installing a PCIe x4 graphics card in the PCIe x4 slot (x16 connector), in which the
integrated graphics controller can be re-enabled through the BIOS settings
This chapter covers the following subjects:
Functional description (6.2)
Display Modes (6.3)
Upgrading (6.4)
Monitor connectors (6.5)
