A Question about OnBoard CPU Graphics

[snadge]

I wish to use the onboard graphics of a core-i5 3470 - can I use any 22nm supported motherboard to use it? or do I have to purchase a certain board/chipset that allows you to use the GPU on the CPU - that is to say, is it possible to get a 22nm supported board that doesnt allow you too use the CPU's GPU and instead forces use of GPU on the boards chipset instead (or PCI-E Graphics Card)...?

thanks

Any LGA 1155 boards will work, as long as they have display ports on the motherboard.

its just ive seen some advertise as iGPU available and some dont have that?

Well, all the LGA boards apart from the P67 will use the CPU IGP, it's only the P67 that requires a discrete.

None of these boards will have onboard graphics as the chipset is purely a chipset.
