Be aware, these boards do NOT have integrated GPUs. They have the headers
and ports, but the provision of actual graphics depends on you buying an
AMD APU which contains integrated CPU/GPU. This is the same for all current
gen AMD based mainboards. The current Ryzen chips are NOT APUs, they are
CPUs only. In other words, if you buy these mainboards and a Ryzen 3, 5, or
7 CPU you will still need to buy a separate GPU. To make use of integrated
graphics on the mainboards you have selected, you would need to buy a
slower current gen AMD APU which are NOT based on the Zen architecture.
Ok, concerning the ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS MB, the
web page does say concerning the graphics:
Integrated AMD Radeon R Series Graphics
in the 7th Generation A-Series APU
however, concerning the CPU, same web page reads:
AMD AM4 Socket for AMD Ryzen/7th Generation
A-series/Athlon Processors
So are they saying that if you do put a Ryzen CPU
on this board (and not an APU), you just need
to put a third party graphics card in one of the
PCIe slots ?
Thanks. I appreciate the collective wisdom
on this list.
