Seeking advice on onboard graphic card

Hi all,

I'm prepared building a new PC for testing ONLY. I don't game. Neither I'll do graphic editing on the new box. There are about 30 VMs installed running VirtualBox as virtualizer but not all of them running at the same time. Most VMs are servers. I do configuration on terminal with commands only. I run desktop on the box which is the only graphic needed by me.


My preliminary configuration:-

CPU AMD 8-Core FX-8120 3.1GHz/16M CPU [AM3+] FD8120FRGUBOX

ASUS M5A88-M AMD 880G,DDR3,USB3.0,SATA3 6Gb/s,M.ATX M/B
ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS M5A88-M
(graphic onboard)

Corsair Vengeance CML16GX3M4A1600C9 DDR3 1600 16G Kit (4Gx4)

My most corncer is:- I heard some noisy on Internet, onboard graphic having problem with driver for Linux. Any advice about driver problem for Linux of abovementioned mobo? TIA

B.R.

Basically with fbdev driver most chances that you will be able to display console and even X. It is hardware independent. When I had problems with drivers I used it.

I think for graphic cards you should use form followings list.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 690, Nvidia GeForce GTX 680, AMD Radeon HD 7970, Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 AMD Radeon HD 7950 and the last one is AMD Radeon HD 7870.
