Many processors have integrated graphics, so if you're not using a GPU, these ports can be used for video out.

 

Also might wanna choose a better title next time.

If you need to diagnose a GPU or want to add monitors without cluttering the GPU, you're always able (if your CPU has an iGPU).

Because not everyone uses a GPU and most CPUs made in 2017 (Minus the Ryzen series and FX series) have iGPUs, or Integrated GPUs.

BOINC Setup:
i5 7200U @ Stock

Core2Duo T6600 @ Stock

i3 2330M @ Stock

i5 3210M @ Stock
