Windows 10: Does the operating system such as Windows 10 needs a graphics chip integrated or dedicated...

I am trying to build a PC.


The CPU that I have been considering has no integrated graphics iGPU.

And I think I will buy a dedicated graphics card 6 months or a year later.


What am I looking at here?

How will the PC behave without the graphics chip?

Will I be able to see anything at all? Or I won't be able to see anything on my monitor.

If, by any workaround or a stopgap measure, I am able to install the OS, how will it look? Like really bad graphics or just nothing at all?


Please help!

System Won't Use Dedicated Graphics, Defaults to Integrated

Laptop: Dell G3 3779

So a friend of mine updated their GeForce drivers a while ago and suddenly their laptop is using integrated graphics for everything, they get low FPS even on non demanding titles such as League that their laptop should and was able to handle just fine.

We sat through it for a whole day trying to figure out what the problem was, here's a short, possibly non comprehensive list of things we've tried to no avail:

• Update Windows + All drivers
• Uninstall graphics driver with DDU then reinstall latest
• Rollback to gpu driver before the problem started
• Try to force use of dedicated gpu through Nvidia control panel, game settings, and through disabling integrated gpu in device manager
• Scanning for viruses
• Checking temperature, airflow, heat
• Checking all processes and services
• Clean Boot
• Overclocking, benchmarking on Overwatch, no difference in performance whatsoever

Attached are some diagnostics taken today, hopefully we can work together to resolve this.

 

should i keep integrated or use dedicated graphics card for gaming?

if i install dedicated graphics card would it help better than my integrated graphics card for gaming? is there a way to find out what available dedicated graphics cards could work with my pc and im always looking for confirmation on my integrated graphics
cards to look for ways to make gaming performance on a intel 4 series chipset without having to install dedicated graphics card
