Almost all intel based MB come with onboard video with at least two and
sometimes three outputs. I have not noticed any performance issues in
graphics and have been able to have stable (no xruns) jack at 16/2 with
two video outputs in use. (ICE1712 Audio card, i5 with 4 cores... I had to
look to make sure I got PCI slots)
My older P4 with the gforce has been no problem either, but it is 10+
years old and probably not a good yardstick for a new build. I would never
have considered it's video performance as great, but CPU limitations may
have been a part of that too. The cost of monitors ($90 at walmart) is low
enough to make two monitors worth while for things like ardour or gimp.
