Intel graphics hd 520

Hey guys

I have HP spectre 360

Intel HD 520 DirectX 12.0, Shader 5.1 OpenCL 2.0, Driver version 21.20.16.4542

I7 processor 6500U 2.59GHz

8GB of RAM

Most of the time I use my laptop as a desktop pc and usually hook it up to my 27inch Samsung monitor which is FULL HD.

My question is, if I get Samsung S34E790C 34inch Ultra Wide Curved LED Monitor 3440x1440, will Intel HD graphics be able to cope with so much stress?

Reason for getting bigger screen is because I would no longer need to use laptop screen when working with different spreadsheets and have everything on one screen.

Thanks

For what it's worth, I also have the exact same processor, but with 16GB RAM.

I frequently run a dual screen extend (work stuff on 3200 x 1800 laptop screen with videos on 1080p TV) setup, and it doesn't seem to stress my system at all. Granted, your monitor has a higher resolution than my TV, but my gut tells me it wouldn't be a problem.

Great, I did think it would have no problems but wanted to hear from experts. Thank you.

I might take my laptop to the store and test it live before I purchase new monitor just in case.

Testing before buying is always a good idea
