Q: Do I still need a video card with this processor?

With it being an APU chip, it does have an integrated graphics just like many lower end Intel CPU laptops. I believe these APUs work the same way as it uses your on board physical memory being your ram to render your graphics. As reviews and info videos state clearly "these chips are out performed by a GPU such as a 1050ti" you've got to keep into account that while most CPUs don't get benefit from anything above 2400mhz ram the Ryzen series is superior in the sense that it has a sweet spot at around 3200mhz. With that being said, the APU chips out perform any other integrated graphics system that doesn't use a dedicated GPU as the Ryzen series CPUs read/ do benefit from higher speed ram. Also of note, a GPU is a dedicated graphics card which currently use DDR5; being the fastest utilized memory.

Q: What motherboards support this without a bios update?

I am using a windows only motherboard: ASRock model: B450M Pro4 with UEFI Bios American Megatrends v: P1.10 date: 06/19/2018. It worked out of the box, with the latest stable AntiX Linux. I did not know a manufacture would require MS Windows to update a Bios in 2019, crazy but would not suggest this motherboard to anyone that wants to run Linux, Arch or any of the active operating systems rather than windows. Dual booting systems with windows should be OK.

Q: if i use this in a custom bult pc with a nvidia gtx 1060 and 16gb of ram paird with it will it play all modern day games optimally

Ignore the guy above me. Yes any of the 1060 cards can play ALL modern games (not vr tho). Yes, ALL triple A games will run at worst on medium. Shoot, my 1050pny runs every AAA game i own. Performance will vary but you play with settings till you are optimal. Anyone who tells you no is either some elitist, or they are just nuts....or they are trying to sell something.

Q: i heard that higher end motherboards like the x370 have updated bios and can be used immedietly with one of these chips? is that true?

It's yes and no. All Raven Ridge ready motherboards have a sticker on them indicating their bios is updated. That said, there are x370 motherboards that are Raven Ridge ready BUT they are the new stock. The older stock of x370 are NOT Raven Ridge ready. Also, half of the x370 motherboards that I've seen, don't come with any display out, so make sure that the x370 motherboard you choose has HDMI/DisplayPort.
