Intel CPU integrated graphics

[pointertovoid]

Cheers!

Recent Intel processors integrate a graphics processor which seems too weak for my games (just Ski Challenge, a few driving games, nothing special). So I'd have a separate video card.

Do we save the consumption and heating of the integrated graphics when it's not used, at least? And does the integrated graphics limit the CPU overclocking capability when it's off?

Thanks!

One thing though which can be done is to decrease DVMT or whatever to minimum or zero.
