For the Intel CPU integrated graphics to work a motherboard has to support it. As a result, a supporting motherboard will have HDMI/DVI/whatever connections on it.

The motherboard will have the requisite monitor connectors. You plug monitor into them and you use the onboard gfx.

If you had a dedicated card you would plug monitor into that.

Ok so it's called onboard graphics but really the graphics are in the CPU, is that right ?
