Best motherboard with built-in graphics card (Socked AM4)

Scope · 1 Feb 2021 at 15:41

I am looking to upgrade and was wondering which motherboard to go for..

I never play games and in the past I have always been good with the built in video card options..
(so machine will be used for office, streaming, the odd video edit, etc)

I need to be able to use 2 monitors (currently HDMI+DVI)
Plan on getting a Ryzen 3600
My case supports ATX boards.
Not really planning on overclocking.
Something I could, if needs be, get a faster CPU for at a later stage.

Which motherboard should I go for?

Amd graphics is emeded in the cpu so you will need a G Varint like the 3200g. Most intel have integrated graphics with the cpu unless its an f varient.

The equivalent CPU to the ryzen 5 3600 but with onboard graphics with be the 4650G.

ah, I see.. My last few CPUs have been Intel, hence Its never been a problem I've had to consider before

But if a motherboard is sold with HDMI, DVI, etc, does it still rely on the CPU providing the data for the ports?

for example this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-socket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-33t-ms.html

Yes. As has already been said, the GPU cores are on the CPU.
