Hey everyone, so I am looking to get a prebuilt pc and I noticed that most of them these day come without the integrated graphics which does t seem like the biggest deal to me since the one I am looking at has a 4070.
I’m wondering if i am going to have a problem running programs like photoshop, illustrator, autocad and sketch up or if I should be ok with just the 4070.
Thanks in advance!
If you’re not doing things like streaming or encoding, the only benefit to onboard video is troubleshooting videocard issues. For most people its a nice to have thing, but not something they really use.
It will run just fine, some apps have CUDA hw acceleration support that will help. Intel QuickSync is a good feature, which is better in some ways than NVEnc, but only really relevant for video editing software and, I assume, OBS (which, I heard, supports encoding with integrated graphics even if you have discrete card installed). If you are not doing any video editing and not using OBS constantly (I might be wrong on the encoding thing - hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in) - you’re not missing anything by going with F version since the performance difference is miniscule. Xbox Game Bar doesn’t support QuickSync (if you have GPU installed) and will use NVEnc and you can’t configure it. ShadowPlay doesn’t use QuickSync either.
