Z77N-WIFI: WiDi with deidicated graphics card
« on: October 03, 2012, 10:16:25 am »
Hi,  I'm looking at the Z77N-WIFI motherboard for an ITX gaming box, with some HTPC use.  I'd like to use the WiDi functionality to play BluRay & net content to my TV, but I'm going to have a dedicated graphics card installed (NVidia GTX 660).  I've not seen it mentioned that the board has a Virtu chip, so I don't know whether I'll be able to use the WiDi once I've put the graphics card in.

Can anyone clarify whether WiDi can be used when the board has a dedicated graphics card in the PCIe slot please?

to my understanding it will work fine as long as your TV, or other device,  will support it.

I've heard people needing to set the primary display to Intel and you lose video to the dedicasted card until windows loads display drivers.
