ok, i have been doing a bit of reading about this and this is my conclusions. please let me know if im right.
i setup my machine as normal, i plug my monitor(s) into the onboard sockets and not the graphics card. the computer then decides which card (onboard or HD6850) is best suited for the task its asked to do and runs off of that.
so say i run a film, it would run off the onboard gfx, disabling the graphics card. then i launch a game and it switches.
ok hope this is right so far.
so, now for my confusion.
will this still work with crossfired cards?
does it kill power to the graphics cards whilst onboard is in use or just reduce the fans down to idle speeds?
and, is there anything im missing, or is this essentially only for video encoding?
cheers, sorry if this is the wrong section but it kind of covers motherboard, cpu, graphics cards and software.
