new motherboard

I am needing a new computer as my grandson wants my present computer as his is not powerful enough for what he needs 64 bit Windows 10 with 8 GB memory and a SSD but mine is.
I would take his old computer but I need a better motherboard than the old one which is an ASUS M2N-MX motherboard.
Is there a motherboard which has better onboard graphics than an AMD Radeon 6670? as I will be happy with a computer roughly the same speed and specs as my old one and it will save on buying a graphics card.
Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV with an i3 intel processor and an AMD Radeon 6670 graphics card and 8 GB memory.
Just realised I also need a motherboard with 2 video outputs as I have 2 monitors.

You could go for a AMD A8 which should be capable of this0

So there isn't a suitable motherboard that I can get that does not require a graphics card?over 73 but not over the hill.0

Providing the graphics 3D work is relatively low end and gaming is not required, many motherboards with onboard graphics can output to more than one display. Lower priced motherboards might sacrifice multiple connections to keep costs down.
I would of thought that an AMD CPU would do what you need and have fairly decent graphic performance. Intel CPU graphic performance is fairly low and Intel CPU's do have the fault which will impair performance.0 -
What program/ game is he running?0

Integrated graphics nowadays are CPU dependent rather than motherboard dependent. But obviously it's up to the motherboard as to which output sockets it has (almost all have more than one).
The latest higher end AMD or Intel CPUs will have better graphics performance than a discrete Radeon HD 6670 card.0
