AMD motherboards with integrated VEGA graphics

[dudu_georgescu]

Was looking at ASRock X470 Taichi AM4. It says it has integrated VEGA graphics. Does that mean that the mobo comes with graphics OR does it mean that I need to install a special AMD processor to get that working.

I was looking at purchasing a 2700X btw.

It's on the CPU, not the board itself.

The 2700X (Pinnacle Ridge) does not have it. However the APUs (Raven Ridge based) do (2200G and 2400G).

From Asrock's website:

- Integrated AMD Radeon™ Vega Series Graphics in Ryzen Series APU*

You'll need a Raven Ridge APU (2200G or 2400G)

edit: ED beat me to it again! I have got to type faster.

Was kind of thinking that is the case, just needed confirmation, thanks guys!

Yup, get a discrete GPU to go with it. Or if you do not need games and a lot of computational power, the APUs are solid.

We did a beview of the APU's here https://www.overclockers.com/amd-ryzen-5-2400g-and-ryzen-3-2200g-apu-review/

And that Shawn guy who reviews that stuff is pretty good.

Those APUs are nice, however I really need the 8 core computation power since the system will be running multiple tasks, some of them 24/7 (surveillance cameras, automation, security system, HTPC, etc.)
