I'm about to purchase an i7, and accompanying hardware. Should I take something in consideration regarding the type of graphics card to avoid this problem? I was planning to take the asus HD5670 on a P8P67 (B3) mobo, or the P8Z68-V Pro mobo, which has an internal graphics card. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I've asked the same question here when I configured my i7. Oshyan replied he didn't expect any problems with an internal graphics card for OpenGL display.
That's based on the reports, which weren't there
Besides that I didn't notice any performance increase when I switched from my 8600GTS card to my dozens of times faster GTX570.
The wireframe shading and such didn't feel (much) faster.
If you choose your z68 board and it turns out that it won't work properly, which I really don't expect, then you can always choose to plug in an HD5670.
You'll probably lose 20 euros or so, since the z68 is slightly more expensive I believe, but on the other hand you might save yourself a graphics card.
I would also search for OpenGL issues with ATi cards as I believe they have more difficulties with the OpenGL standard compared to Nvidia cards.
This is subject to debate though, but ATi has had issues.
