Hello guys in this article let’s take a look at whether an Intel integrated graphics card is good for video editing or not.
I know your situation because you might be confused whether you want to purchase the dedicated graphic card or not for your computer especially if you don’t have a budget of purchasing a dedicated graphic card because they are expensive in general and you can
learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of using a dedicated graphic card here but now let’s take a look at if the integrated graphic card that is present in Intel processors is good for video editing or not so let’s get started.
Is Intel integrated graphic card good for video editing
Yes, an Intel integrated graphic card is definitely good for video editing purposes especially if you are not a professional video editor or a beginner video editor who only edits the video at low resolution like 1080p and does not use high end video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro.
For those of you who don’t know the graphic card is used to render the images videos and other important things and display them on the screen of the monitor so that you can view them and without the graphic card you cannot actually use the monitor or the computer in
general so graphic card is extremely important to run your computer because without it you cannot see anything on the display and most of the Intel processors have inbuilt graphic card
except the f and KF version of the processors, all though you won’t get high level of performance as comparative dedicated graphic card because the integrated graphic card will be relatively smaller and it will be sharing the space and energy with the CPU also
and that is why a mention that if you are a beginner video editor and you don’t use high end video software then in most cases integrated graphic card will be more than enough for you
and you don’t need a dedicated graphic card if you want to do photo editing or some graphic designing like Photoshop or canva because the integrated graphic card that you get from the interprocessor itself is more than enough as a matter of fact
the USD 630 graphic card that you get with 10th generation of Intel processors like i5 10400 is actually 100% more powerful than Nvidia 710 graphic card which is of 2GB so it clearly shows that you don’t need a dedicated graphic card especially for photo editing and you can also run basic and low end video editing software at 1080p without a graphic card.
It is also important to know that with just the integrated graphic card that you get with Intel you can get 4K support for the display of 60 Hertz which is really great and you can also add multiple displays with a single graphic card like for example 3 is the average number of displace you can use with the integrated graphic card of the Intel processors.
But it is also important to know that even though integrated graphic cards are good enough for low end video editing, high end photo editing, but in my opinion and in general the igpu is not good enough or not at all enough for gaming
especially for users who want to play high and games on high settings and high frame rates and also stream on the side because it requires a lot of data to be processed which the integrated graphic card cannot handle so dedicated graphic card is must thing if you want to play games at high quality and high settings.
But all though you can play small games like chess and others using the integrated graphic card of the Intel.
It is also important know that not all the CPU that you find In Intel have integrated graphic card installed on the ship for example i5 10 generation 10400f does not have integrated graphic card and you can easily identify whether
the processor has any graphic card or not by checking if the processor name ends with f or KF character, this means that particular processor model does not have any integrated graphic card of the Intel and you must have the dedicated graphic card in order to use the monitor and the computer.
It is not just in Intel and most of the AMD and ryzen processes also don’t have integrated graphic card so it is very important for you to do some research and identify whether the processor that you are choosing has the integrated graphic card and you also need to identify what are your needs and wants, if you want to do basic video editing on video editing software like filmora, most likely you won’t need a graphic card but for moderate and high end video editing you will definitely need a graphic card other than the integrated graphic card to have smooth rendering and playback of the video while editing.
These are all the things you need now about integrated graphic cards for video editing.
