Hey Everyone,
I've got a Gigabyte Z77X-UP5TH with a GTX670 graphics card, and I'm a little confused about how thunderbolt displays work in context of having the graphics card installed.
If I'm using the MOBO Thunderbolt ports to drive my monitor, am I discarding the advantages of the fancy GPU on the PCI card, or is everything routed through the PCI bus, into the 670, back out to the PCI bus and the out to Thunderbolt ports on the MOBO?
Basically, I'm looking at a situation that the best way to make my workflow happy is to use an Apple Display Port LED monitor, but I really don't like the idea of not being able to take advantage of the 670 (if that is indeed the case).
thanks!
