GPU usability

VaPaL · August 30, 2020

So... stupid question... but I'm want to be REALLY shure about this... I'm updating my whole PC, later it will raplace my mother's old laptop... but a friend wants to buy my GPU. I want to sell it but I don't want to give less to my mother than I already promised her. She doesn't game (besides solitare and other windows games), she mostly watches YT, browse the web, do some work on Word and Excel (she uses a somewhat heavy worksheet I made for financial bookkeeping).

So, I think that the GPU won't do NOTHING for her and I'm fine selling it, but I want some confirmation on it. The CPU is an i5 6600K, so it has Intel HD Graphics 530.

Thanks a lot, sorry for the stupid question.

the igpu will be fine for her use, don't see an issue. if it ends up being an issue later on, you can always throw in a gt1030 or something similar for very cheap.

Don't need a GPU for that, the IGPU is more than fine, you just plain don't need to spend money on a GPU period.
