Unless you have a motherboard from about 15 years ago you have integrated graphics from your CPU which outputs via your motherboard. Yes a dedicated GPU will work fine, the integrated graphics will be disabled so you need to plug into the new GPU instead.

i want to upgrade graphics card buy buying better one. so if i put my new gpu on to my motherboard and i don't know will my new gpu would word.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you:

- Have a system without a dedicated GPU now

- You want to install a GPU

- You're wondering if that will work, correct?

 

In general, I'd say yes, but do keep in mind there is a bit more behind it, like your power supply should have the right power connections and more.

Can you list the build you have now (the components in the system) and what GPU you want to upgrade to?

@minibois don't bully me lol it's my first time using this site.

Bully? Sorry if my post came over that way, that was not my intention.

The first part of my post was just to make sure I was understanding your question correctly and the second part was mainly to tell you "yes, but", as for example your power supply needs to have enough power for the graphics card you want (among other compatibility checks).

i don't know what you want, for example the components in the system idk what to look at, and im still looking for gpu

If it's a pre-built system (i.e. DELL, Acer, HP, etc.) you could try looking for a product number (which might be on the original receipt you got).

If it's a system assembled from different parts ('DIY build'), the most important pieces to know about are the CPU, case and power supply.

 

The CPU is the easiest to figure in either sort of system. By just going into Task Manager > Performance > CPU it will list the CPU you have.

The case/PSU may be a bit more difficult to figure out, as you'd need to look at either component and figure it out. In this case, a picture may speak a thousand words, as it can give an idea as to what system you have and what would or would not work.

 

Of course if you're not looking to figure out what parts you have for now, that's totally fine too.

As for an answer to you original question; yes a GPU can be put into a system (provided it physically fits and you have the right power connectors on the power supply) and work.

After installing the GPU, you just have to plug in the video cables (like HDMI) into the GPU, instead of your motherboard and have to download the video drivers (which can be found on either Nvidia's or AMD's website, depending on GPU choice you end up making).

so my Pc is DIY 

CPU=AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega graphics 

PSU= is ATX-500W

and im trying to find a better GPU for like 150 dollars or less

That should work fine for really any GPU in that price range.

At the moment, the graphics card market - as you've probably seen - is a bit of a mess.

 

Normally for that price range you'd be able to find an RX 580 as probably your best bet, with a GTX 1650 or 1050 Ti in a similar price range.

At the moment though, it's really more up to luck/persistent looking to find a food deal.

But that is the sort of direction I'd look at in this price range, the sort of RX 570/580 or GTX 1050 (Ti)/1060/1650 (Super) range.

The issue at the moment is a lot more demand compared to the supply, so every store has their prices way jacked up.

Before this entire supply/demand issue (which is because chip shortage + lowered manufacturing rate because everything uses chips now + a lot more demand from gamers/other people who need GPU's) the mentioned GPU's were in the 150 USD range (if on sale for some of them).

 

At the moment, the only GPU you can easily get in the 150 USD range is a GT 1030, which is the same or worse in performance, compared to the integrated graphics of the 3400G.
