CPU with integrated graphics?

[Baddass]

This might sound stupid but with some of the CPUs with integrated graphics chips, how do you connect the motherboard to the monitor? Do you need a graphics card as well or a certain motherboard with a DVI / HDMI out or something

For example, this CPU

The motherboards that support them have GFX out.

Ah ok I see. So is there anything specific I need to look for from a compatible motherboard for that CPU for example? Given that's socket FM2 do all FM2 boards have graphics out?

Look at the backplate in the images and see if it has the video outputs?

Almost all have DVI and D-Sub connectors, some also have HDMI and displayport.

Don't forget DVI and HDMI are basically interchangeable.

Not all FM2 boards have HDMI out, you;ll need A75 or A85. Also, not every FM2 CPU has integrated GPU e.g. AMD Athlon X4 740.

A55's also have HDMI out.
