Can a computer start without a discrete graphics card?

Question

Iron

Do intel processors have graphics adapters, that is, integrated video cards?
And the second question: if you put everything in the computer and such a processor without a discrete video card, will the computer be operational?

Answer 1

The question is not posed correctly, if you take processors with an integrated video core, then by 99% you will stick it into a motherboard that has a built-in video output

Answer 2

Guys, don't mislead people. The computer can work without a video card at all. I have a server on linux 5 years so worked. Connected exclusively via SSH. With Windows, I think the same.

Answer 3

In the processors of the I3-I7 series, only the video core itself (video chip) is built in, to collect HD Graphics, you still need video memory (part of the RAM is used), as well as data buses (implemented on the motherboard).
So if you have an "integrated video card" on your motherboard, roughly speaking a VGA, DVI, DP or HDMI port, then it will work, if not, then only a discrete PCI-E card.
In fact, in the new motherboards, they simply transferred the video chip from the south bridge to the processor unit to provide it with sufficient cooling with a common cooler, as well as increase the exchange rate with the computing core, and the video card remained as it was built-in, just implemented a little differently.
But in terms of power, these are video cards for work, not for games.

Answer 4

Yes, it will work, but you won't play tanks. Most budget laptops run on such chips and switch to a discrete graphics card only when there is a load on the GPU
