This is probably a really dumb question. What I mean is I want to use the on board hdmi to connect to my TV but not use the on board graphics and instead use the graphics card. Im asking because they only hav dvi ports and I only have hdmi and Im too lazy to buy an adapter. Again this is probably really dumb I just wanna make sure

Yes the question is dumb. On-board vga is separate from your dedicated gpu. Stop being lazy and go buy an adapter. Or next time, buy a graphics card that actually comes with HDMI since its a standard.

Thats what I thought my friend bought these too old 9800 gtx+ and I wanted to see if they were even decent for gaming.

Oh no they are not good for gaming. It probably can't even run League of Legends on max settings.
