Integrated Graphics Not Supported on Motherboard Asus Prime Z170-A LGA Intel Kabylake

[DevsQuestions]

Hi there, I've seen this question answered a few times however I just wanted clarification on this specific motherboard.

Motherboard: Asus Prime Z170-A LGA Intel Kabylake
Specs Page here


It is my understanding that when a board states that it does not support integrated graphics, it means that the board does not have GPU capabilities as legacy models used to. Which means either one of two things:
1. The CPU will have an iGPU inside of it to manage the graphics
2. The Motherboard does not have display ports available so you must use a graphics card.


The page states:
The ASUS PRIME Z270-A does not support CPU-based graphics, meaning an external graphics card (GPU) will be required to use a display. This is generally the most widely-used graphics solution for gaming, regardless, as external cards tend to be more powerful and more suitable for graphics-intensive tasks such as high-end gaming and film CGI production.

That being said, the board has HDMI and DVI display ports.


My question is: When I put in a Kabylake i7 Processor into the board, Will I be able to connect this board to a display without issue?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
