Intel HD Graphics 4600 vs HD-3650

I'm going to be building my daughter a new PC shortly. She's chosen an i5-4460 for the CPU, and wants to move her old HD-3650 discrete card to the new PC. She does not game, but she does do some video encoding/decoding... transferring video from her camcorder to storage media.

I'm thinking that the Intel Quicksync video of the Haswell integrated iGPU would be more beneficial than the aging HD-3650 for video work. And that it would just be better overall as a graphics solution anyway. (It would probably even game as well) Am I wrong-headed?

Lol... yeah, I'm going to have trouble squeezing those four big cards in the one lone PCIe x16 slot she has.

I'll probably let her to try the iGPU first. I was just wondering what the consensus of the forum was.

Well they were different sources but just looking up benchmarks for a few places with the 3650 and compare what you can find with the 4600. I know the differences in setups will affect it but it was too much of a difference to not account it to an actual performance difference.
