Last time I did that I just didn't get any output to the monitor, isn't that how it's supposed to work?
one time i was testing something with the monitor in the motherboard, which worked fine, and then i put the gpu in the motherboard but forgot to plug the monitor in the gpu, and it showed a black screen.
there might be systems where you can plug both a gpu and the igpu into the monitor and it'll use one for most things and the other for games and stuff (i dont remember what that is called), but i have only ever seen that in laptops so idk
If your cpu doesn't have integrated graphics yeah.
Hmmm, maybe that's what happened, but I'm pretty sure I was getting output without the GPU plugged in, but that was a long time ago
In my computer once I installed my graphics card the integrated gpu was disabled, but there was a BIOS setting to keep both enabled
Oh that would make sense!
Massively depends on the system.
if you get a F series CPU with no igpu then you will likely get no output.
