do i need a graphics card

As long as the processor you purchase supports embedded video; you can use the 'video card' that is included on the motherboard. The integrated graphics card won't be able to play games as well as a standalone graphics card does, but it is fine for every day tasks such as internet browsing, word processing, and the like. However, this motherboard is a high-performance, top of the line product; using it only for simple, every day tasks would be a waste of money. It's like owning a Lamborghini, but never going over 25 MPH (40 KPH). If you plan on using this motherboard for gaming, then purchase a graphics card.

Yes. This board is designed for gamers who, typically, want very specialized graphics capabilities. Rather than stick an expensive graphics facility on the board that many (most?) purchasers would not use anyway, Intel's logic seems to be that we should be able to buy the board a bit cheaper and apply the difference to some screaming Graphics card(s) that truly meet our needs. Though the on-board HDMI may suffice for some folks, there are many applications that don't support it and many monitors that don't provide an HDMI input.

Is not necessary, because inside the mother board you can take the HDMI video output to connect to any HD screen, but if you wish can install an additional graphics card.

Although it has an integrated video chip. It would be wise to install a dedicated video card for smoother visuals when watching videos or browsing the web. What kind of video card needed depends on what you plan on doing.

No, you can use the onboard HDMI interface. I use a video card because some applications and games require it, for for "normal" desktop use, the onboard GPU in the i7-3770k worked very well.

If you select a processor that has built in graphics, you do not need a graphics card. The motherboard itself doesn't have a graphics processor but does provide a connection from the CPU's graphics to the back plate.

Doesnt look like anybody answered this entirely correctly.... there is NO onboard graphics... there is an HDMI out for CPUs that have onboard graphics capability, which is not all of them.... refer to the intel compatibility list to see which CPUs provide graphics and which don't.... but if you are planning to do gaming, none of the CPU based graphics engines are good enough and you should get a capable graphics card.... IMO, currently Nvidia has a much better driver set that ATI

you can go either way, if you need to use onboard graphics though, you need to have a CPU with that capability... check Intels site for which CPUs support onboard graphics

No. I'd get a desktop with a nice video card ideally for that. If you need a laptop, get a gaming one. They have more powerful video cards for three dimensional rendering.

You need a separate card. The AMD FX line does not have integrated graphics.

HiThank you for your interest.No you need graphic card.Intergrated on-board graphic card is not compatible with this monitor.Thanks.

Pretty sure you would need to purchase a graphics card as well with this particular motherboard. There are similar motherboards in this price range though that have HDMI/DVI/VGA outputs.

The A78 chipset does not support onboard graphics. As such, you will need to either purchase a GPU (graphics card) or a processor with integrated graphics (an APU).

No, it's a separate graphics card. It's not the worst, but not the best either. If you want to upgrade it, you'll need to upgrade the power supply also.

They all come with a graphics card but I bought the fastest one possible for this computer. It depends on what you want to do.

That processor does not have integrated graphics. you need this one: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD640KOKHLBOX

No, there is no onboard graphics. It will use the built in graphics on your CPU if your CPU has it.

You need to have a low profile graphics cards. And a stronger power supply.

From reading the requirements, it needs Windows XP/Vista/Windows7. Graphics card must run DirectX 9.0c. If your Mac will run Windows, then maybe. I would find out for sure before buying though. It will not run using Mac software.

I dont understand your question.so first need graphic card if you use multiple display and 1 active display port use your system if you have a onboard graphic card i think no display port on Thé board

A Nvidia graphics card but I no longer have this computer so I am unable to tell you which one it is. But you should verify that the desktop you purchase has the components you want as not all models are created equally. An FYI, I had nothing but trouble from start-up with the desktop I purchased so I sent it back.

Yes I can utilize the graphics that the new processors have built in. Should be some video outputs on the board. This is sufficient for everything but gaming or more than 2 monitors.

You should be able to upgrade your graphics card in the future. Just insure that your computer meets the card requirements.

You'll want a better graphics chip for gaming. It could probably run, but not terribly well.
