Does the mainboard have an onboard graphics card for basic operation or does it also need a standalone graphics card for installation? At least I see two connectors at the back and in the manual it says: ** Supports 8K@60Hz as specified for DisplayPort 1.4. *** Supports 4K@60Hz as specified for HDMI 2.1.

Helpful answer

The integrated/onboard graphics unit is not on the mainboard itself, it is in the CPU. This means that simply buying a mainboard with interfaces (VGA, DP, HDMI, etc) to connect a monitor does not mean that these can also be used. Only if the CPU also has a graphics unit do you not need a standalone graphics card.

With Intel, it is the case that in principle all CPUs that do not have the letter F in their name have a graphics unit. F= no int. graphics unit.
With AMD it is the other way round. Only CPUs that have a G at the end offer an integrated graphics unit.
