INTEGRATED VIDEO CARD x DEDICATED VIDEO CARD x BOTH?

Anonymous — Fri, 08 May 2020 06:34:34 GMT

Hello friends! I have a doubt:
I'm looking to buy a PC to run Autocad 2020 (work only 2D) and I have a question: does a computer with a processor that has an INTEGRATED VIDEO CARD need a DEDICATED VIDEO CARD? Or both? For example: if the computer has a Ryzen 3 3220G, do I need a dedicated video card?
Can anybody help me?

Hi,

I am currently using an AMD Athlon 320ge processor with intergrated Vega 3 graphics on inventor 2020 and autocad 2020, and so far it works efficiently.

For simple 2D work you can get away with the on-chip GPU provided you don't skimp on the system RAM. But it's generally better for many programs to have a discrete one, and with decent ones available for $100 +/- there isn't much reason not to have one.
