Question How could someone switch from a GPU to integrated graphics?

[Iyncin]

So my friend has been bugging me about switching to integrated graphics for a while since his CPU'S integrated graphics is better then his GPU, but he doesnt know how to switch the GPU to integrated graphics. Any help i can send to him?

A320M Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 4600G Processor
16gb RAM
GPU GT430

Physically remove the GT430.
Connect the monitor to the relevant port on the motherboard.

Move the monitor connection to the motherboard from the graphics card.

Exactly what i was thinking but i wasnt sure. Thank you very much.

Do you need to go bios to change any settings?

If gt430 is not removed, only "connect the monitor to the relevant port on the motherboard" was done, will it work?

Only if you previously disabled on-board graphics in BIOS (which I don't understand why anyone would).

If I previously disabled on board graphics in bios and use dedicated graphics card GPU, now the GPU is faulty then I "connect the monitor to the relevant port on the motherboard", can I see the bios appear on screen to enable on-board graphics?

Integrated graphics get disabled automatically with discrete graphics card installed.
Usually you have to manually enable iGPU in BIOS for both iGPU and discrete GPU to be available simultaneously.

And iGPU gets disabled, so system ram doesn't get reserved for iGPU, when you use discrete GPU only.

You physically remove discrete graphics card.
iGPU gets enabled and you can get into BIOS.

Is it possible to use integrated graphics and dedicated graphics card together at the same time to connect dual or triple monitors? 1 monitor connected to motherboard integrated graphics, another 1 or 2 monitors connect to dedicated graphics card

Yes.
You specifically have to enable this option in BIOS.
By default it is not enabled.

Does the sentences quoted apply to all motherboards?

Usually yes.
I haven't personally checked every possible motherboard in the world though. 😊

It seems like integrated graphics cpu would be good for troubleshooting, in the event that the screen is black, remove dedicated GPU and use integrated graphics. Would you recommend buying integrated graphics even if will be using dedicated gpu?
I am considering 5600g, 5600x, maybe 5700g.

Most current and future dedicated GPUs can manage 3 monitors.

Probably not.

Leave it alone.

Let the existence or lack of the dGPU turn the iGPU on or off.
