Tell that to people suggesting integrated graphics. ?

As you should be.

 

For most PC users a iGPU is a great option. But for those of us that want to work at top speed, you need a dGPU.

In pcpartpicker I planned out an i5 6600k

linus did a video recently and it shows a gt730 getting beat out by a skylake chip.

I'll think about it, but her budget is a little bigger than a gt 730.

but that is way overkill for day to day use or even light gamming. the onboard graphics of skylake put low end GPUs to shame.

The 750Ti is part of NVidia's GTX lineup, which mainly exists for gaming.
It wouldn't make sense for such a PC.

I'm sure the integrated gpu of an Intel Core i3-4xxx/6xxx would get the job done, but I don't know how you can connect two displays to it.

That's why she needs a dedicated gpu.

Have you watch YouTube videos using both? Or a duel monitor setup? Or used editing software? Or had to have multiple applications going?

 

Guess what I'm saying is if you want to challenge my experiences, please provide yours.

I don't want to challenge your experiences.
I'll simply wait what everyone else has to say and waste my time on something else.

did you watch the video, it says if you want to run 2 monitors get a much cheaper card.

You're joking. A new i5 and you refuse to use integrated graphics.

A lot of people are saying that, no one seems to mention amd gpus yet.??

Christ on a crutch mate.

 

You mother doesn't need a skylake CPU.

 

Simply get her the i5 4660. 

 

some cheap 8GB of ram Kingston usually has the cheapest 

 

then grab a 300 Watt power supply 

 

then grab a GT 730

AMD has some great graphics cards, but if she's not going to be gaming my recommendation is to stick with Nvidia for the stability Nvidia offers over AMD.

 

That said though, AMD is better at multi monitor support. But worse in handling YouTube. So it's a decision best left to her priorities. The only issue I have with mine and multi monitor is the curser likes to get hung up on the transition. Minor, but an issue none the less.

No, I'm not, I really wish lmg would compare i5 integrated to gpus such as the 750ti

Got it, that's along the most popular. I guess everybody on these forums is partial to nvidia.

They'll just run games, or benchmarks. Both are a poor indicator to desktop performance, especially things like watching videos.

The 750ti is just a great option if you're not going to be gaming. That's all, no loyalty. Same GPU is used on the 960m in laptops.

Just get a GT 730. It fits your needs perfectly. 

Got it, I'm going to make a poll and see what the votes say.

Ok, I'm going to create a poll son, please make sure to vote.

Gaming performance has nothing to do with the ability to drive 2 monitors. A low end gpu will not be able to handle 2 monitors running at 1080P.  At 1024x768 yes.

[thutzell13579]

Here is the link to the poll. I didn't use the one on this forum because it didn't allow an other option.
