I also need it for 4k video playback (TV or monitor). </P><P></P><P>Taking into consideration that I do not game, will be an Intel CPU with HD Graphics 4600 (H-Line) sufficient to process 4k video at 60Hz refresh rate? I mean can I do without a discrete GPU? </P><P> </P><P>The idea is to save some money but still keep an opportunity to install a discrete GPU later if required. My research shows it is possible but since I am new to the stuff, I'd like to be sure that I get it right.</P><P> </P><P>Thank you for every piece of advice!</P><P> </P> Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:34:48 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Do-I-need-a-discrete-GPU/m-p/350472#M22543 smoor8 2014-12-03T21:34:48Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Do-I-need-a-discrete-GPU/m-p/350473#M22544 <P>Hi</P><P></P><P>Based on what you state as your usage model the system build you suggest, it will be more than adequate.</P><P></P><P></P><P>Thanks</P><P>Robert</P> Wed, 03 Dec 2014 22:16:39 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Do-I-need-a-discrete-GPU/m-p/350473#M22544 ROBERT_U_Intel 2014-12-03T22:16:39Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Do-I-need-a-discrete-GPU/m-p/350474#M22545 <P>Hello Robert,</P><P></P><P>Thank you for your prompt reply!</P> Wed, 03 Dec 2014 22:21:32 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Do-I-need-a-discrete-GPU/m-p/350474#M22545 smoor8 2014-12-03T22:21:32Z
