The only downfall using integrated graphics is that you're going to be consuming a little more power.
I am able to mine on the ati card and use the intel graphics at the same time.
This was a bit misleading, thought you were mining on both.
Anyways what you posted make sense to me now. You were rendering on 5850 before and now the Intel GPU has taken over. The graphics card now just appears as any add-on OpenCL accelerator would.
If you have Z68 chipset you can even seamlessly switch between both. http://www.lucidlogix.com/product-virtu-gpu.html
Exactly.
I'm actually on Z75 chipset. Don't know if it still complies. In a few months, I will mess with this lucidlogix, see how it goes. Bookmarked.
@steve, take Red Emerald's advice.
I never could get that setup working on my aging Dell. I've tried a plug on the video port and I've tried BIOS settings. But it still complains if I don't have the monitor plugged into the ATI mining GPU card no matter what. So I render on the ATI card and just live with it.
Well if it's Windows, you need a dummy plug on the ATI card.

You're mining using OpenCL on the Intel CPU, not the GPU.
I'm not mining off of my processor. Like stated, I am mining off of the 5850 with a dummy plug and using the intel hd graphics for my desktop.
If i were to use the 5850 for the mining and working on the desktop, I would not be able to move my mouse using -f 1. OpenCL CPU would def not be able to hash at 375.

I am using my "i3 2100" Intel HD graphics 2000 as default, and mining away with a ATI 5850 with a dummy plug.
In which, at first, I uninstalled the intel graphics driver, popped in the 5850 on my board, booted to bios, set the card as default, went into win7, installed the sdk & ati driver, rebooted back into win7, checked out GPU-z, it was showing both intel and ati, so it popped in my head to go to bios set intel as default, booted to win7, reinstalled intel graphics drivers, rebooted back into win7, and found out I am able to mine on the ati card and use the intel graphics at the same time.
This is wickedly awesome, which I thought I had read somewhere, the intel graphics cannot be used while a graphics card was plugged into the board. If I had read correct, they were wrong.
