Friend: "What's your system specs?"
Me: "12-core Ryzen CPU, 64GB RAM, 3080ti GPU"
F: "Nice. What games do you play?"
M: "Games...? Is that what else people do with these things?"
These days it's not uncommon to have a powerful GPU just for AI acceleration.
Or for photo editing. Or video editing. Or CAD work. Or a lot more stuff.
Are modern iGPUs not powerful enough for these tasks? The UHD 770 is pretty powerful, especially for video encoding/decoding (it can transcode 8+ 4K streams simultaneously)
For photo editing, I suspect it should be more than enough. For video editing, a beefy graphics card can make the render/encode significantly faster, though as I don't dabble with that, I can't tell how much of a speed improvement it'd be from an integrated intel vs. anything equivalent or stronger than a GTX1650
iGPUs are pretty useless for the most part.
That makes sense. Thanks.
Could be a matter of CUDA-specific optimisations in the software. Also, an iGPU will share ram with the CPU so while it looks good on paper, memory access and (availability) will vary
