Question Any AMD motherboard with on-board graphics for non-G Ryzen?

AMD motherboards used to come with on-board video irrespective if the CPU has built-in graphics or not. Are there any such motherboard for non-G versions of Ryzen CPUs?

Nope. Not unless ASRock managed to get a Ryzen CPU to run on a 780G/760G mobo. :p :p :p

(They've done Hybrid-type mobos in the past, but I think that perhaps even that might be beyond them. Besides, what would be the point of it?)

Thanks for the clarification.

Most motherboard specs says they have built-in or on-board video capability. Very few says that you need a CPU with built-in graphics. From your reply it looks like even in older motherboards the video was part of AMD chip-set and not that those manufacturers put an extra Video chip on-board. Lot of marketing bluff going on. It is very annoying. Instead of making all those pretty images and colors on the spec sheet their marketing department should invest some time to learn what they actually have on their motherboard.

you are reading it wrong.

onboard video support just means it has the video outputs (dvi,hdmi,dp) needed for an apu to be able to pass thru the frame buffer contents. in no circumstance does it mean the board has a gpu built in. that sort of chipset igp hasnt been common for over a decade.

Pardon me but isn't this still common on servers?

There's some server/workstation platform motherboards from Intel that have onboard graphics, usually implemented through an ASPEED or some stripped down Matrox video chip in my experience. I've only seen them mentioned on the Intel side, but I'm not familiar with non-Ryzen boards. I've never seen them on Ryzen setups but it doesn't seem impossible to do in principle anyway. I think they're basically just onboard discrete solutions, not part of the chipset. And they're really only for video out.
