What does Onboard Video Chipset Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic

[computertuna]

I am looking to get a motherboard and I found one I like but it says (Onboard Video Chipset Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic) does that mean i can't use a graphics card?

it means if you're planning on using on board graphics ( not a separate discreet graphics card ) you need to buy a processor that has graphics built onto it.

you can use that board with any processor ( same socket ) that you want...........

The motherboard supports integrated graphics, only if the CPU has integrated graphics.

The motherboard is mostly just a pass-through. The CPU serves up the graphics to the motherboard, and the motherboard provides the actual outside connection to the monitor.

You can use a dedicated card if need be. Generally, that turns off the integrated graphics functions.
For instance...for an office PC, the integrated graphics on a recent Intel chip is perfectly fine. For running recent games? Not so much.
