ASROCK Z68 Pro3-M

Reduced Motherboard Micro-ATX format, using modern technology in recent times.It is ideal for building a compact yet highly powerful stations such asto play hardware-intensive games and multimedia as a basis for study.The main attraction is a brand new motherboard chipset Intel Z68, which combines the advantages of longer stray chipsets P67 and H67, a full use of integrated graphics chip in the CPU with four O Clock and effective options.Z68 also offers a complete novelty in the form of Intel RTS (Smart Response Technology) for caching data to everyday applications fast SSD with the advantage of maintaining the use of traditional HDD.When the draft boards were used exclusively with top Japanese polymer capacitors and digital PWM power system (Pulse-Width Modulation) employing 8 steps for a stable and efficient power CPU.

The motherboard has a unique technology, with the advent of the new chipset is just beginning to appear on selected models.It is a revolutionary software application from LucidLogix Virtu allowing switching between the integrated GPU and discrete graphics card without switching the monitor.This is very advantageous because, for examplewhen playing HD videos or browsing the web to make do with rich integrated graphics chip (iGPU), which has significantly lower power consumption and operating temperature than a separate graphics card that the activity iGPU goes to sleep.By contrast, in modern games at high resolution using DirectX 11 and multiple AA or in CAD, CAM impression to switch back to the discrete graphics card.The whole process can be automated or pre-defined by the user (and totally disabled).Support of course relates to AMD's Radeon graphics cards and NVIDIA GeForce.Virtu is currently optimized for dozens of applications and games, time will grow support.
