Do I actually a graphics card in a DIY PC to run FreeBSD?

[ikevin8me]

I intend to buy a new DIY PC to run FreeBSD 13.2 (or 14.0) with
- KDE
- bhyve and GUI VMs (OpenBSD, Ubuntu, etc.).

The CPU I intend to buy is Core i5 13500.

Question:
- do I actually need a graphics card?

Since the i5 you are going to buy includes "Intel UHD Graphics 770", you should be ready to go without dedicated graphics card.
As your hardware is pretty new, I'd install 14.0 instead of 13.2.

However, I'm not so sure if even today the Raptor/Alder Lake iGPU is supported by FreeBSD (14.0).
Until a month ago it wasn't supported and I had to put in an RX6600 GPU to be able to run X.
