Also gives you a video out if your GPU was to need troubleshooting, but it doesn't matter which it is.

It's just resizable BAR, AMD came with a compatible pair first and gave it a fancy name, but now you can use it with any combination.

not many, just the fact that for both you have an extra (or two) video out

is it worthy or not compared to a build using a nvidia gpu?

what is worthy or not? An intel gpu? An intel gpu can be good but amd are really killing it and the 6600/6650 xt would be the best

theres a feature called SAM where the gpu can access the CPUs memory and thus increasing gaming capabilities

None they don't care what other gpu you have at all.

 

Having a igpu when you have a dedicated gpu is only good for just having more video out ports thats it

 

Its not like you get any extra performancr or anything
