would this integrated gpu be enough for my needs?

alexiusyap · Oct 15, 2013

hello all i plan on getting an i7 2600 non k or with k as im not quite sure if the non k has integrated graphics or not but if it does then i would definitely go for it rather than the with k one since i dont plan to overclock. anyway, im looking to edit video with this setup and im concerned whether the integrated gpu on this cpu is enough to playback 1080p h264 format or dslr videos smoothly?

i know cuda cores will help with encoding and such on adobe creative suite (which is what i use) but i plan to rely solely on the cpu for video encoding. so should i get a gpu or would the integrated gpu on this cpu work just fine for what i plan on doing?

I would get a better GPU than an integrated can give you, like a 7770 (you don't need it to be too powerful) for around 100.

That cpu will be fine for playback of 1080p h264, it also has Intel Quiksink which helps a lot with encoding. The K version has better IGPU as it has HD 3000 rather than HD 2000.

I wouldnt go with the above suggestion if you want to use CUDA, I would go for something like the 650 ti instead.

All iGPU's over the past few years can playback 1080p just fine. If you're planning on CPU-only encoding then you don't need a seperate GFX card. And if you're not planning to OC, then an i7-3770 may be better than an older Sandy Bridge 2600 (about 10% faster non-OC'd and draws less power due to 22nm process).

Non-K chips do come with iGPU's that can easily playback 1080p. It's only the "P" chips like the i5-3350P that won't work without a GFX card.

CUDA doesn't really matter, all GPUs of equal quality work about the same.

Says who?

If you are using Adobe creative suite you can get much better performance using an nvidia card and CUDA.

so does that include the iGPU in an amd a10 5800k? because it seems like my budget wont allow me to go the intel route and i chose the a10 as an alternative and the reason as to why is because i want to build a mini-itx system.

It does but A10's are far slower than i7's (literally half the speed on some benchmarks) and more on par with a fast i3 (which are much cheaper than i7's and another budget alternative):-

Personally for a budget Mini-ITX I'd buy an i3 as they chuck out 50w less heat than an A10 (and run a lot cooler & quieter given very small heatsink & fans in very small enclosed spaces) for virtually the same performance & price (100w TDP 5800K vs 55w i3-3240). For heavy video editing, an i5-3470 is another "middle" option much cheaper but 20% slower than an i7 (but still 50% faster than an A10 5800K or i3-3240 for video editing).

thank you i will look into those two cpu's
