Hi everyone,

Do I need to buy graphics card if I decide to go with FX8350 + ASUS SABERTOOTH mobo. I would like to know for sure if there is any video integrated in either of above devices. I ve seen some official papers on asus site.. but that didn't get me a direct answer.. Maybe I missed smth ?..

I m building a PC which will be used as a home lab for virtualization.

Thanks in advance!

tiny voices is correct. As the FX8350 is not an AMD APU there is not integrated gpu. For that you would want either an intel processor with their HD graphics or one of the A series APU's from amd. For virtualization you may want to lean more towards an Ivy bridge or Haswell processor as even the latest i3 and i5 would suit you better for what you are looking to do and their iGPU will be more than enough for running a VM or two.
