Intel GPU

I hope they do an video on the Intel GPU and if there's a a performance loss when using a Ryzen CPU or if it works at all

Are you saying you want LTT to test if the Intel GPU will perform worse when coupled with an AMD CPU than if it was paired with an Intel CPU?

Of course running an Intel GPU with an AMD CPU will work. Why wouldn't it? 

 

As for performance, we already know there will be some scenarios where an Intel CPU paired with an Intel GPU will perform better than an AMD CPU paired with an Intel GPU. To be more specific, Intel have already stated that in scenario workloads, an Intel dGPU will be able to offload work to an Intel iGPU if it is present. In such scenarios (which can only happen if you got an Intel CPU with an iGPU, and an Intel dGPU) it will most likely perform slightly better than in a system with just the Intel dGPU.

It will probably not matter for gaming though. Pretty sure the scenario Intel mention were video encoding.

 

If you want a test where they compare an Intel dGPU coupled with an Intel CPU (without an iGPU) would perform better than if it was coupled with an AMD CPU then I don't see the point. GPUs don't check which brand of CPU you got and tune performance for it. The GPU doesn't care which CPU you got. If the Intel GPU performs better on one platform than another then it's because the platform is better, not because of the brand sticker on the box.

I was just saying it would be interesting like how much more performance it would have with the igpu thx for making me specify which one and I thought all Intel CPU had integrated graphics now?

Also ik I've had problems in the past with radeon cards with an Intel CPU so when u say they don't care idk about that also I'm not the best with computers tho so it could have just been something I did that caused the problems tho

Intel CPUs with an F in their product names don't have an integrated GPU, but they are pretty rare.

I think you are jumping to conclusions. There are many things that could cause your computer to have issues. I don't think it was related to specifically "I had an AMD graphics card and an Intel CPU". I think that was just a coincident rather than the cause. If you had encountered the same issue on a computer with an AMD GPU and AMD CPU, would you assume AMD GPUs and CPUs were not compatible?

It could have been a driver issue that would have occurred regardless of which CPU you had. It could have been an issue with running a DGPU and iGPU at the same time, regardless of which brand it was. Could have been software issues that were not related to your hardware at all. The list goes on.

There could be hundreds of potential causes for the issues you experienced, and we have no way of knowing what caused it without troubleshooting it.
