Yes, the AMD integrated graphics on CPU does not even provide sub-640x480 VGA nor even 320x200. So, it's useless for DOS bare metal, although DOS will boot and the 9x16 VGA fonts display correctly (the character ROM font is obviously included in the vbios). And CSM mode is supported in some of the early Ryzen chips / motherboards. But no games play due to no 8-bit support and no low-resolution VGA modes in vbios at all. The integrated sound *is* supported under MPXplay, and it's possible to get full, rich sound under DOS using that program, and Quickview Pro v 2.61, and Mplayer DOS port from your site by Khusraw. Films will also play, as the vbios does support VESA modes upto 1920x1080x32, but only high bitdepth (>= 16-bit colors) and high res modes.
