I am planning to built a pc, i going with gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H motherboard. But in this website http://motherboards.specout.com/l/6500/GIGABYTE-GA-B250M-DS3H
It shows that it does not have integrated graphics compatibility....
What does it mean? I'm using i5 7500
Lga1151 has integrated graphics?
I'm​ not getting a graphics card now, so will integrated work? Please answer fast i have to buy it in next 5 days..

Thanks in advance!!

The CPU and Motherboard do both support it, not sure why Specout says otherwise.. Even Gigabyte's website says it does.

Quote Gigabyte.com > "Integrated Graphics Processor-Intel® HD Graphics support:

1 x D-Sub port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200@60 Hz
1 x DVI-D port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200@60 Hz
* The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160@24 Hz
* Support for HDMI 1.4 version.
Support for up to 3 displays at the same time
Maximum shared memory of 1 GB"

Hope this helps :)

It could be that they say the motherboard ITSELF does not have an integrated graphics solution (but it DOES have the ports). Previously (many years back), before integrated graphics solutions were put on the CPU, an 'integrated graphics' solution means that the motherboard had a very low power GPU integrated into the chipset somewhere to provide basic graphics capabilities (similar to what you'll find now on many server motherboards since most Xeons don't have iGPUs).

Now that the IGP is built into almost every consumer CPU, having the IGPU built into the motherboard is superfluous so it doesn't technically 'have' an IGPU although you can get CPUs these days without the IGPU (such as Ryzen, the Athlon II 800 series, Xeons, etc). In that case they're just being 'ultra specific' in that if you provide a CPU without an IGPU you will have NO video.

However, since pretty much every LGA1151 CPU released at this time has an IGPU, it's really a moot point and an unnecessary detail. The Intel B250 chipset provides for video from the LGA1151 CPU, the motherboard has the appropriate video connectors as evidenced by the pictures of the back slot, and any Skylake/Kabylake CPU will come with an IGPU.

So - don't worry about it.
 
It is not the only error in motherboard descriptions on sites like this. ALWAYS consult manufacturer's page when in doubt.
This motherboard supports integrated graphics. If you put in it CPU that has iGPU (and 7500 has it) you will have display without dedicated graphic card.
