MSI Z68MA-ED55 Vt-d support?
« on: 20-July-11, 14:03:15 »

Hello does anyone know if the ED55 support Vt-d or not?  I know the GD80 does but it is a too expensive for my budget.

Thanks in advance.

The answer is "yes" as VT-D is a standard feature of the underlying hardware.  To be sure I checked the UEFI Changelogs and found the following entry in the changelog for one of the pre-release BETA/Development UEFI Releases [development state before the intial first final UEFI Release for this mainboard]:

- Add "Intel VT-D Tech" in OC\CPU Features page

Thanks! I suspected this may be the case but a lot of the time functionality is not enabled in the BIOS, luckily this is not the case here!

Keep in mind the CPU selection makes a difference if it can be enabled or not.
