Can you use a ryzen 3 1300x with no GPU?

[mysteriousmystery2003]

I have been building a PC and currently have the ryzen 3 1300x all the parts apart from a GPU, I'm just wondering can I use the PC for the internet, Spotify etc. so I don't need to wait for the GPU and use it for moderate use? Thanks.

What motherboard do you have?

Hopefully the motherboard will have a native video port that you can use to connect a monitor.

If so, you should be able to use the PC accordingly.

I see two onboard video ports: VGA and DVI.

And those two ports are stated in the linked page "header".

I.e.,: ASUS Prime B350M-A/CSM AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI DVI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 mATX B350 Motherboard

OK ty I mainly just wanted to know if it was possible and wouldn't break anything thanks tho so just to be certain I can defiantly use it without a GPU and no performance issues when I get the GPU?

Your setup should be fine.

The motherboard video ports are used by many people in lieu of a GPU.

Some motherboards no longer even have built-in (native) video ports. Use of a GPU is expected.

VGA is very straight forward. Many monitors have two or three ports available: VGA for legacy systems, DVI for more newer rigs, and now there are HDMI and Display Port options.

DVI ports between PC and monitor require some checking to ensure compatibility and cabling. Sometimes adapters can be used.

and to help figure out the cabling:

Motherboard ports will work but the performance may be less than satisfactory for gaming. GPU's came about as a means to improve overall performance by moving the graphics work/calculations from CPU to GPU.

Heavy gaming may require more that the motherboard's video can provide. All you can do is try and if the games are playable - okay.

If the motherboard is not up to the task then your expected GPU should improve performance.

Depending on the motherboard, CPU, and GPU there are all sorts of configuration options to tweak and tune performance.,
