'Z68: The Best of Both Worlds
So what’s new with Z68 Express? A lot that isn’t new, and a lot that is. Z68 Express supports overclocking through turbo multipliers and therefore is a good match with Intel’s Sandy Bridge "K-Series" SKUs. All the media features available with H67 are also available. Intel’s HD graphics and Quick Sync Video are among them. The new feature is support for "Switchable Graphics." Essentially Intel is brand agnostic on this but when combined with either an NVIDIA GeForce card, or an AMD Radeon card, the LucidLogix Virtu GPU Virtualization technology allows you to connect your monitor to the onboard graphics and use Intel’s IGPU for general desktop use. When you want to play games, you can use the power of your favorite discreet graphics board to accelerate your games and anything else you might need. This can also amount to power savings and efficiency as your graphics card can be put into a low power idle state. And again Intel is brand agnostic on this feature as it works with both NVIDIA and AMD based graphics cards. Intel refers to this as "Dynamic virtualization" which eliminates the need for restarts and cable swaps. So you can take advantage of all the IGPU and a discreet add-in board have to offer. All the benefits and none of the drawbacks of either configuration in theory.'
