The intel graphics are integrated in the processor. There is nothing to return.

Ok, you want to get a new motherboard that runs your old processor, correct? And, you want this new board has to run yournew amd graphics card, correct?

First step is to find a board that has socket 1150, and whose BIOS support the i7-4770.

Then, make sure the board supports PCIe x16 3.0

If your new board (and its bios) supports the i7-4770, and if the board supports PCIe x16 3.0,, and if your new graphics card is compatible with the new motherboard, then you will likely have no problems. There are a lot of "ifs" in here.

FYI

If it helps, I am running a GTX1080 on a 4th gen (https://ark.intel.com/products/77779/Intel-Core-i7-4960X-Processor-Extreme-Edition-15M-Cache-up-to-4-00-GHz- Intel® Core™ i7-4960X Processor Extreme Edition (15M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz) Product Specifications) Intel without problems and have been running the same card in an older system running a Pentium from 2006 (https://ark.intel.com/products/27615/Intel-Pentium-Processor-Extreme-Edition-965-4M-Cache-3-73-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB- Intel® Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition 965 (4M Cache, 3.73 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) Product Specifications )

Hi Yes_R,

Just make sure you check all the specifications when searching for / buying a mainboard for the 4th gen i7.

Like Al Hill mentioned make sure the CPU is supported and preferably that the PCI Express slot is 3.0 (It will work on 2.0 / 1.0 but slower).

Hi Yes_R,

Both the i7-4700 and the i7-8700K support the PCI Express 3.0, providing the same bandwidth of the PCI Express slot to your video card.

Mostly the memory (DDR3 -> DDR4) and CPU (https://ark.intel.com/compare/75122,126684 Intel® Product Specification Comparison ) will make a difference.

I cannot guarantee the card's compatibility. That will be your challenge.
