GPU's effect on CPU?

[Watashi]

Does the CPU have to stress to tell the GPU to render images? I ask because I'm curious if adding a shit graphics card in a system with a decent processor is actually going to improve it at all.

The integrated graphics may outperform the shitty gpu. In addition, you probably shouldn't buy any graphics card that will be a huge bottleneck, it's just a waste of money.

problem is, the motherboard I purchased doesn't have any F***ing video outputs

Alright well give us some details. What board? What CPU? What gfx card you thinking to put in? What do you do on your system normally? How the heck did you let yourself buy a mobo with no video out if you don't have another solution? lol

Well it's for a friends PC, and I didn't realize motherboards even existed that didn't have video outputs. It;s an amd fx6300, and I have a Nvidia 210 lying around

lol fair enough. And yes, Motherboards without video have existed for a very long time. 

 

But anyways, because the board has no onboard video there is no way for the integrated GFX to be used, so the task of providing a video signal will be all on the video card.

What's integrated GFX?

Modern CPUs have a minor GPU built into the die, that's what the video ports on the motherboard use, when you use a graphics card, and plug your display into that graphics card, you are over-riding the video signal from the integrated graphics on the CPU.

It depends on your work mate. If you looking forward to gaming, the gt 210 will suk. Just get a gtx 1050 or a 1050 ti. Because they are budget friendly and dont need extra psu power adapter.

 

if you are looking forward to just work or classic games then yes you can.

Only some. AMD's FXs and Athlons, Intel Xeons, and Intel's "enthusiast" CPUs (socket 2011-3,  2011, etc) don't have an integrated GPU.

Sorry. I would argue then that most of the consumer chips, which is all I was thinking of, have iGPUs
