Running Without a Graphics Driver?

Hi everyone! My gpu is currently 'in the shop' so to speak, and I was wondering if that, in my down time I could take what would usually be wasted time and turn it into something productive, like finally downloading all 60+ GB of games I have on steam. The only problem is that I don't have a gpu, and dont want to download the intel 4600 graphics driver in case it interferes with the new GPU even after it (the 4600 driver) is uninstalled.

I tried to just go online and such, but I get unusual pixel glitches when they update, such as 1 pixel being bright green on a black 'surface' if you get what I mean. The problem gets worse the longer the computer is on. Is this bad? Temps on everything are just fine, motherboard, cpu, ssd everything.

I will NOT be watching videos, gaming, or doing anything intensive until the gpu gets here, just downloading via Steam.
 
Solution
The drivers will be fine. When your GPU is back in, the onboard is disabled and won't even load if the device isn't enabled, and uninstalling htem after should remove everything anyways.
