Hi All, I'm trying to evaluate which are the better graphic card manufacturers as well as models for a mobile work station used to video edit with Da Vinci Resolve (free)? I see a lot of mobile work stations built with NVIDEA Quadcore and others with NVIDEA Geoforce. Is the Geoforce considered more for every day computing (e.g. video watching) and the Quadcore designed more for video editing? I see Geoforce RTX 2060, GTX 1650 Ti, and others listed. For the Qaudcore I see T2000 and other models as well. Are there benchmarks for the better graphics cards? I've read reviews in PC Magazine, Tom's Hardware, but can one depend on those reviews as independent, objective and informed? Thank you.

Hi all, I’m not a techie so I’m interested in hearing from others who are. I’m searching for a new laptop as my Toshiba is 10+ years old. I want to do some video editing with the laptop, possibly using ShotCut. I’m wondering if I can just use onboard graphics or if I’ll need a separate graphics card? If I necessarily need a separate card, which manufacturer(s) (models) have you had the most success with? Is there a way for me to ascertain if the proposed laptop works well with OpenGL 2.0 and that laptop also is compatible DirectX 9 or 11 drivers? A friend using Linux Ubuntu shared they’ve had major issues with Nvidia graphics cards. Would an AMD Radeon graphics card be best? If so, are there particular models of AMD Radeon I should look for? I’ve also read that heat reduction of the CPU is important. How might I ascertain if a certain laptop includes good heat reduction? Thanks so much.
