What video output ports are there? Do I need to buy a separate graphics card? Is there an integrated GPU?

It has a DVI & 2 HDMI ports. Integrated Graphics are determined by the processor, check the level that the processor you are going to use supports. For Instance, the Intel Core i3-3240 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core Desktop Processor supports Intel HD Graphics 2500. Others may support 3000 or 4000, etc.

The one I received has a built-in VGA port. You would need a low-profile video card for HDMI.

Hdmi and vga ports as well as dvi come with the graphics card NOT the motherboard

The unit has integrated video on the motherboard. Only standalone video cards provide HDMI output. Amazon has a selection of brand new video cards starting around $36Thanks

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

Hey Ryan C., it does have an onboard GPU but it's very basic and you MUST have a CPU that has integrated graphics to be able to make use of it. I would suggest purchasing a separate GPU which you can plug into one of the PCI slots, even a cheap one. - Ryan D.

The Intel HD graphics is on the motherboard. You could add an additional graphics card to one of the PCI-e slots but it would probably have to be a 'half-height' card. I did a little research on this but decided to wait and see if it would even be necessary first. So far the integrated graphics have worked just fine as I'm able to play HD (*.ts) video files full screen without any issues. Once I start editing HD (Blu-Ray) video files, it may become necessary to add a video card but I don't know the answer to that yet.

No and yes. The onboard video only has one VGA connector. It does have a PCI 16 express low profile slot that I have successfully used to put in a low-end but better graphics card. You can easily get a good PCI 16 express low profile graphics card that would work in this machine and drive 2 monitors at 1920 x 1200.

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

What are you connected too? Desktop? Laptop? Apple? HDMI? VGA? and what kind of video card?

I've actually got this PC (and am looking to buy another as it's a pretty good PC) and fortunately, the HD 2500 does allow dual monitor output, but UNfortunately, the HD 2500 integrated graphics does a poor job of it. It's a known issue (discussed on Intel's website as well), that at times, your computer won't recognize the HDMI output, requiring you to physically unplug the HDMI from the PC and plug it back in to make it realize it's actually there. My solution to this was a cheapo graphics card (GT 630 ~$60). But to be "broken" out of the box, that just speaks poorly on Intel.

Video card does not require 2 displays. But you may connect up to 2 displays to this desktop. Thank you

Any time you see Intel Graphics HD along with an Intel Core CPU it means it has onboard video. No it does not have a standalone video card but yes it does have a capable graphics processing unit built in.

This board does NOT have HDMI, or any other video output built in. It does not support on-board graphics. You will need to buy a separate graphics card with this board.

There is no on-board video, therefore in order to plug in a monitor you will need to purchase a separate pci-express video card.

The computer has two video output ports. One HDMI, the other VGA. Both ports can be used at the same time if desired.

There will still be a USB port, and HDMI port available. Depends on what your computer has in the way of output ports.
