PC Building Advice Integrated Graphics Motherboard

[OnamCh]

Hi all, I am a little confused by onboard graphics on a motherboard and CPU. I thought if the motherboard supported onboard graphics then I should be able to use it to do basic tasks and even possibly run odd games, is this not true? For example, the Gigabyte https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...2-amd-am4-b550-atx-motherboard-mb-593-gi.html has onboard graphics. Does this simply mean it has outputs of HDMI and Display Port but I still need a graphics card or a CPU with integrated graphics?

Pardon my ignorance on the subject but just confused what integrated graphics mean on a motherboard.

Thank you all for the quick response. It's been about 15 years since I built a machine and wanted to get all my facts right before purchasing. Your replies have been very informative. I didn't realize some B550 boards didn't support the new AMD G chipset. Need to check this then. Everything is a lot more complicated now compared to years ago. This is going back the days when Hercules made graphics cards!
