Hey folks
I'm in the early stages of sketching out
a modest (300~400 Watt) SFF Daw (Ableton Live + assorted VSTs)
and Graphics (Photoshop (3D), Lightroom, Painter XII & Illustrator) wrkstn
w/ some video editing & transcoding the odd time, but definitely no gaming,
OCing or LAN parties in my future any time soon
and already i am facing the inevitable fork in the road.
Because i need HyperThreading in the DAW & because the on die GPU is
(supposedly) better than the 2600, i'm leaning towards the 2600K
(mobo.. H67 ? not sure).
So...my question (from the Wishful Thinking Section of my brain) is;
Can i get by (away, actually) with using only the onboard GPU in the 2600K ?
Not having to research & choose amongst the 3 trillion discreet V cards out there
& not having to deal w/ temp & power issues would be so...nice.
Btw, i already own a pretty decent
monitor (the Asus PA246, 1929x1200 native res, 24" iPS)
Well ? I'm thinking someone will hit me in the face
w/ the dead, cold fish of reality, in no time
but, still i gotta ask.... what do you think O Wise Ones ?
