If you didn't have a graphics card, all you would be seeing right now is a black screen. You probably have one of those crappy integrated graphics cards.

My GFX card is a geforce 4 mx440, the fan started humming all the time, I tried cleaning it but it didn't work, so i just disconnected the it... I want a new computer. I don't have pixel shading 1.4... makes me sad. I can't play the battlefield 2 game I got for my birthday. :cry:

you need a graphics card for visual display.

desktop, images, games, etc.

yea you would see a blank screen if you didnt have one.

this is just like asking hey who's breathing without air :?

Yeah, since the graphics card (integrated or not) is the place where your monitor connects to your computer.

Sadly enough, I use those shitty integrated graphics cards. :\ That's why I have to switch to my other desktop computer upstairs in my house If i want to play smoothly.

But this computer can handle Half-Life 2 and etc, quite nicely with just the integrated graphics card. Wierd. :!:

Same with my friend's pc..

He only has a integrated video card from one of those nvidia motherboards. And he can play CS:S at max setting(without AA and AAF) up to 1024x768, if he goes over.... it starts to lag.

256 mb Nvidea 7600 :twisted:

The only downside, its been overheated to the point where the screen has a permanent green / yellow shading. Still if i set the brightness to very dark, it displays it very close to normal. Except globals appear white :banghead:

And LOL @ topic starter. Yes, we all play our computers without graphics cards...... *sigh

Graphic-cardlessness ftw! Or close to it anyway.. used to have an intergrated one from Intel. Nvidia 7300 now, no SRO to test atm though, yay.

LOL I know how that feel. I had to buy a brand new laptop with an integrated dedicated graphic card with 256MB memory.

My other notebook had much longer battery life though, to get one you have to give up the other.

I don't play with any of those fancy graphics card >.<; (I wish! But i just have the standard integrated stuff. nothing special..). Mainly because i can't afford a nice one. But i have enough ram for mine so it runs smoothly and the quality is nice.. xD i only lag due to server or internet lag.

My main machine is built for gaming but my new laptop has an Athlon turion with 2gigs ddr2 ram and the Nvidia 6150 laptop graphics and runs it on medium very nicely. So I guess that sorta is like not having a card...its integrated.
