Posted July 13, 2016 Hi guys/girls, I work for fujitsu and can get this server quite cheap: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/fujitsu-primergy-tx1330-m1-tower-server-e3-1220-v3-8gb-no-hdd-8x2.5-sv-003-fj.html I am wondering, since the CPU does not have integrated graphics will i need a discrete GPU in order to run windows server with a GUI? I am thinking yes but this is my first server so am a bit unsure. Thanks in advance Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing comes with intergrated gpu so you will not need an extra one. The CPU does indeed not come with integrated graphics but there is a remote management chip baked in to the motherboard that also does graphics.

He said it didn't have a igpu, and it doesn't give a model on the motherboard so I have no way to check that either way since based on the chipset I get this http://ark.intel.com/products/75519 which according to the spec doesn't have a igpu on the board https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ Tier Breakdown (My understanding)--1 Godly, 2 Great, 3 Good, 4 Average, 5 Meh, 6 Bad, 7 Awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I assumed the OP was correct when he told us his CPU had no integrated graphics, and therefore didn't bother to fact check. ******If you paste in text into your post, please click the "remove formatting" button for night theme users.****** CPU- Intel 6700k OC to 4.69 Ghz GPU- NVidia Geforce GTX 970 (MSI) RAM- 16gb DDR4 2400 SSD-2x500gb samsung 850 EVO(SATA) Raid 0 HDD- 2tb Seagate Case- H440 Red w/ custom lighting Motherboard - MSI Z170 Gaming A OS- Windows 10 Mouse- Razer Naga Epic Chroma, Final Mouse 2016 turney proKeyboard- Corsair k70 Cherry MX brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the io panel of this board it has a vga port, showing you don't need a igpu to use video and its built into the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most graphics chips are only designed for cli or simple gui's. My native language is C++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
