Connecting a monitor without a graphics card

I have
Ryzen 7 2700
B450 AORUS Elite V2
ATI Radeon HD 5450
I am working on a graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 5450), if I buy another monitor and connect it directly to the motherboard outputs without a graphics card will it work or not?
(I won't load on screen just to view web pages)

If you use multiple monitors you should just connect them all to the video card.
The port on the motherboard is for the integrated graphics which you would mostly just use if you didn't have a video card.

In your case, your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics so it won't work.
