Could you use an old graphics card for display output if your cpu does not have an igpu?

Thank you very much guys! I thought the same but I didn´t find anything about it so I wanted a second opinion on this.

Hello ltt forum, first I´d like to explain my situation to you. I study and work in a different city from my parents’ house and I visit them 1-2 times a month on the weekend. I have a pc in both locations now, because my brother left his old pc (without graphics card) at my parents’ house. So now I thought that I can just take my RX 480 with me when I´m visiting my parents and take it back with me every time, but a friend of me said that repluging it that often might wear out the PCIE plug. I currently don´t have any funds for a second card, so that would be the only option. I didn´t find anything online about this, so what do you guys think?
