Hi guys, the last time i build a pc was in 2005, back then when you first put all the pieces together you had to connect the monitor to the MB, install and run windows and when it was actually working you had to intall the GPU drivers, reset the computer and plug the VGA cable in the GPU port and turn it again... but now have seen a lot of videos where people connect the monitor directly to the gpu before booting the sistem for the first time...and it actually boots...its there something im missing? has technology changed and now its possible to use the gpu from the start? is it exclusive to some components?
is it a new bios feature?

thanks.
