Will HSA still work with a dedicated Graphics card?

Nope. HSA is the iGPU actually sharing memory with the CPU, rather than partitioning it off.

Okay thanks just wanted to make sure.

If you have an APU that supports HSA and a dedicated GPU in the system, you can still use HSA acceleration. However, it won't accelerate using the dedicated card, but the integrated GPU instead

RAM: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RBG 3200MHz - GPU: MSI RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO

I don't think this is what the op is asking. There's no hsa compliant graphics card so the OP is probably asking if hsa will work if there's a graphics card in the system. It's a yes in that case--hsa could work regardless of whether or not you have a graphics card in the system since the integrated graphics isn't necessarily disabled.

I'm curious. Would this only be beneficial for, say, encoding with CPU+GPU (with iGPU)? I'm not too familiar with AMD GPUs, if they have a function similar to the nVidia CUDA system, for encoding  :D

It's similar and would benefit anything that supports hsa.
