Running CS:GO without a graphics card is doable but not ideal. I've done it on my old laptop with an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and it ran okay-ish on all low settings. The game's pretty well optimized, so as long as you're not aiming for the competitive scene, you'll manage.

Totally, CS:GO can run on a system without a dedicated graphics card, but it'll depend on your processor's integrated graphics. Modern CPUs with integrated graphics, like Intel's i series or AMD's Ryzen with Vega, can handle CS:GO at low to medium settings. Just don't expect to run everything on ultra settings!

Yes, but brace yourself for a less than smooth experience. Lower your expectations and settings, then dive in.

Nope, you need a graphics card to run CS:GO. Period.
