Graphics Subsystem
The board supports graphics through Intel Graphics Technology.
2.8.1
Integrated Graphics
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel
®
Flexible Display Interface
(Intel
®
FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
NOTE
The board can simultaneously support up to two of these three integrated graphics
interfaces: VGA, HDMI, and Flat Panel Display.
Flat Panel Display is supported by eDP and LVDS interfaces, however only one can be
used at a time.

Video Memory Allocation
Intel
®
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is a method for dynamically
allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and
system performance. If your computer is configured to use DVMT, graphics memory is
allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the
configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application,
the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for
other uses.
Dynamic allocation of system memory to video memory is as follows:
256 MB total RAM results in 32 MB video RAM
512 MB total RAM results in 64 MB video RAM
1 GB total RAM results in 128 MB video RAM
2 GB total RAM results in 224 MB video RAM
