Does this processor require a graphics card? I do not plan on doing much gaming. Mainly web, email, watch DVDs, youtube, occasional light gaming.

Yes, it requires a graphics card. Note the first image on the product page that says "Requires discrete GPU."

This processor will require a separate discrete graphics card, unless your motherboard has on-board video. Consult you motherboard manual if you aren't certain

It is "graphics challenged" so as long as you aren't seeking to do anything too taxing it will do just fine. This is an Atom processor with 2GB of RAM...it's a FLAT PANEL NETBOOK...would you consider a Netbook (functionality wise) for your use? If so..then yes this will work.. If not you'll need something else.

If you have it you can use it, but its a server m/b and wants a more expensive server chip and memory. This is designed for high compute use, not video performance, and is not the latest & greatest board on the market either. There are newer, much better (desktop) boards available for the money, with the newer, faster PCI-E specifications, which is needed for the newest video cards. I wouldn't buy one if gaming was the prmary usage. Get a decent m/b, a mid-to-high Intel i5 ot i7 cpu, and then the best viseo card you can afford. You will need 16 Gb of memeory for some games these days, so make sure you start with 8 and have room to expand (4 slots x 4Gb is good enough) if you need it.

Graphics are capable of HTPC applications (so long as you're not trying to push 4k or anything) and very light gaming, but you're much better with a discrete card like the 7750 or 7770 depending on your case-space and budget requirements.

Depending on what Graphics card you have, and Most likely, very good CPU for the money. It can play Battlefield 4 with an AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz edition.

Yes, you can run a graphic card with this processor. If you have the right motherboard and use the specific cards that will work in tandem with the apu. You can go to AMD or ATI website and it should have that information.

No, you only need an LGA 1155 processor (core i3, i5, or i7). Some memory and a hard drive (I prefer an SSD. The audio and video are on the motherboard. If you need higher performance video and audio you can add a card, but ensure that the video card is a "low power" card. This was the best and most stable build I've built. Great motherboard.

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. It doesn't have a stand alone video card and just an i3 processor. It can handle relatively simple games (Atom Zombie Smasher, Peggle, anything point-and-click, etc.) but nothing graphically intensive or with tons of concurrent players.

This is just a quad-core AMD CPU. No video processor is built into it. You'll need a separate video card.

The box says yes, it needs Pentium III 1GHz and 512MB Ram or better, 32MB DirectX 9.0 video card and DirectX compatible sound card. I'm running it on Windows 7 so I don't personally know how well it works.

There is no integrated graphics, probably should get a nvidia graphics card(or ATI) The processor handles 3D applications like a champ, also multiple applications at once really well. I did find one more processor for socket 775 that is a bit faster, I forget the model I want to say Q9650 I believe

I would recommend another graphics card the onboard graphics will ok but watching youtube on 1080p smoothly will be rough.. Depending on your cpu

In short no - The chip has built in video. At least the LGA1155 socket MB's, I've seen have either a VGA or DVI or HDMI socket built in. No graphics card needed.

Yes. I installed windows 7 pro 64bit on the computer that has this processor in it. Great processor. i do a lot of gaming and video editing, and while my system does have its bottlenecks, this processor isnt one of them.

Most, if not all, video cards (aka GPUs) should be compatible with this processor. I'd recommend either a GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GTX 970, depending on price
