Is there a point in getting a graphics card if you dont pkay games?

Some do it for cad work or video editing.
Some want an unnecessary amount of high resolution monitors.
Some need one because ryzen 5/7 doesn't have igpu
Some people just want to flex
And some only *say* they don't play videogames.

>no motherboards with iGPUs anymore
We've taken a massive step backwards

It depends on what kind of CPU you have already.

Might end up playing games in 5-10 years
Getting the best possible card now is a guarantor

Yes, there are professional workloads which need it, but if you do not fall into that category there is little point for anything more than an internal GPU.
And if that is not available a very cheap one.

To play them sometimes. It happens less often than before, so I want to get the best possible experience.

Then choose the optimal price/performance option in the /pcbg/ based on the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor.

I just buy them to drive prices up and save kids from being able to afford them so they will be less likely to be game addicts like I was and ruin their future.

to drive a metric fuckton of monitors

If you need a good processor, it might not have an iGPU. It definitely won't if it's anything midrange AMD Ryzen or higher, and it won't if you buy an Intel "F" or "KF" processor.

How many monitors can you drive?
Colleague of mine drives three from his crappy laptop with intel HD graphics.

I do love MSI's cards.

Most dedicated GPUs these days will drive 5. Not the one that guy posted, though.

Doesn't DP support daisychaining?

No we havent. Intels new gpu will have a cpu socket on it and use a proprietary board.

At the expense of bandwidth, yeah.

>we haven't gone backwards, it's just been years since this existed and Intel's planning to release something comparable in the future
kek

The 2070 Super supports up to 4 monitors. AMD GPUs typically have 4 ports, but support up to 6 via displayport splitters/MST hubs. AMD APUs can technically do 4, but this is affected by motherboard compatibility.

Only reason I have a dGPU is because I also have a Ryzen 1700.
GPU being a GTX 660, because a friend gave it to me. Otherwise, I'd have gone for a GT 710 or something similar.
Also, it's okay for NVENC & CUDA acceleration.
If AyyMD release an 8 core SMT-enabled APU, I'm giving this away to a friend or something.

For machine learning, of course

For crunching benchmark numbers and jerking off over the fuck huge results.

Arent terminals and editors hardware accelerated these days?
Anyway, how will you generate a video signal without graphics capabilities.

At workloads that require higher end processors you more often than not also benefit from a decent graphics card

madvr

deepfakes

Don't tell me you're not doing "AI" and "NN" development at home for fun?
Jesus, you're worse than a /v/ babby.

lol

yes you have to, cause top CPUs dont have integrated video

no we haven't, because motherboard iGPUs fucking blew

photoshop/premiere/after effects all make good use of it

Entry level cards exist. They won't be very good, but they'll function.

They didn't have to be good, they just had to work
>having to pull out and open up my server and install a GPU just to change a setting in the UEFI

>ryzen 5/7 doesn't have igpu
Which dumb ass decided this would be a good idea.

hardware acceleration for videos. otherwise it's going to offload entirely to your CPU and you're going to have a choppy time.

My buddy got an AMD Radeon Pro WX2100 for $125. It only uses 35w but can power 3x 5k panels (he has 3x 60HZ Dell 4K IPS panels). He has it paired with an AMD 1950X and 64GB of ECC memory as a workstation for VMs and such.

I dunno I ask myself that sometimes, I haven't seriously played a video game since I quit WoW a year and a half ago and my 970 is probably fine for when I want to boot some shit up every now and then to play for 30 minutes before losing interest.

Even then I get the itch to upgrade every now and then before realizing it would be a bit of a waste and I'd rather put that money in savings.

I was wondering the same but with the 144Hz meme

Machine learning is a meme, no point in mining anymore. GPUs are for gaming or if your CPU doesn't have video playback.

There is if you want to use Meriken's for a trip and not wait a bajillion years. Video cards are too expensive for what you get though. If you want to play the latest AAA trash just save your money and buy a console for half the price.
