If I purchase an APU and I have a separate video card, can I use the on board video outputs and my graphics card outputs?

If your using Windows then you mist choose a default video adapter and must choose one. As far as I know

can I ask why you would go with an APU if you are buying a video card? Do you already have a motherboard?

I'm pretty sure that would depend on your video card, if it supports dual output or not. If I misunderstood your question, then I have no idea.

This board does NOT have HDMI, or any other video output built in. It does not support on-board graphics. You will need to buy a separate graphics card with this board.

No, you can use the onboard HDMI interface. I use a video card because some applications and games require it, for for "normal" desktop use, the onboard GPU in the i7-3770k worked very well.

the answer is no. if you already have the apu you will need an fm1 socket mobo. i would price an fm1 mobo against a new A6-A8 apu + mobo to see if there is like a $20 dollar difference and go for the newer gear

Yes I can utilize the graphics that the new processors have built in. Should be some video outputs on the board. This is sufficient for everything but gaming or more than 2 monitors.

You should be able to. Just make sure to uninstall the video card drivers fully. I would recommend using a utility for the purpose.

Yes. Here is a video with the same GPU and a slower APU, and it is running 70+ fps (http://youtu.be/ti0_3cbi_8w). If you buy this, go into the catalyst settings and turn on crossfire (it isn't by default). This will result in the APU and GPU working together to draw frames.

Yes. The video card uses a PCIe 3.0 slot. The motherboard has 2 PCIe 3.0 slots

Yes, it can. This question infers that you will be skipping the notion of a discrete graphics card, and instead utilizing the onboard GPU capabilites built into the newer Intel chipsets? If not, then you would not be concerned with those ports, but with the ports on whatever GPU you plan on installing. As an "enthusiast" level user, I have no need for those, so I have never even plugged anything into them, but I understand their functionality.

I would expect so, as long as you're not overloading it with other accessories or CPU power. The card specs say it needs 300W in addition to what the bus provides. The PSU lists 4 x (6+2 PCIe power connectors) which are what is needed to plug directly into the video card (1 or 2 of these). The graphics card should also come with a Molex to PCIe power cable, which you could also use to power things up. Have fun!

i think you can but not 100% sure, you want to go with dvi or vga? if you promised to buy from me, message me i can test for you

as I use a video card with the same 3 video outputs ( and use 2 at the sametime) I really cannot say yes or no. but as a motherboard is designed to more then a video card I would say that you probley could

It should work, however, you may need to disable the graphics solution provided by the CPU via your motherboards BIOS.

I believe this MB will only work with APU's...I don't use the graphics part of the APU anymore because I got a good deal on a R9. The APU graphics performed well with 1866mhz memory.I bought this MB for the durability and the on board sound.

Just bought this recently and the bios has been updated to work with that processor. If you are planning to run a separate graphics card all should work great. I set this up to run the on chip graphics and could only find drivers compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (not Vista or any previous version of Windows). If you run Windows 7 or 8 operating system and on chip graphics, the correct video drivers can be downloaded from AsRock.
