    Me plugging my monitor into my mobo instead of my graphics card for three years. I thought I had just gotten reeeeally unlucky in the silicon lottery.

      Last time I did that I just didn’t get any output to the monitor, isn’t that how it’s supposed to work?

        one time i was testing something with the monitor in the motherboard, which worked fine, and then i put the gpu in the motherboard but forgot to plug the monitor in the gpu, and it showed a black screen.

        there might be systems where you can plug both a gpu and the igpu into the monitor and it’ll use one for most things and the other for games and stuff (i dont remember what that is called), but i have only ever seen that in laptops so idk

        Massively depends on the system.

        if you get a F series CPU with no igpu then you will likely get no output.
