Video card, install or not?
In continuation of my question Is the PC configuration normal and which video card to choose?
I decided to ask another question, with which I can not decide.
In general, the situation is like this.
Until now I have not decided on a video card, I see no reason to buy something inexpensive.
And I’m not ready to spend money on expensive yet, as I’m buying an additional 500 GB SSD, a second monitor and a powerful UPS.
Now I have a computer, as I said, quite old, but I changed the video card in it.
I have NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2), 1 Gb.
If memory serves me, then this is it www.nvidia.ru/object/product_geforce_gt_220_ru.html
So the question is, does it make sense to rearrange the video card from the old computer to the new one?
Or can you get by integrated into the processor?
What are the pros and cons of both options?
I don’t play games, I don’t watch movies in HD on my computer, the monitors are simple 1920x1080, 24 inches.
Since I myself practically do not rummage in hardware, but somehow my soul is inclined to believe that the video card needs to be rearranged temporarily, and then purchased another when it is possible.
It seems to me that with a video card, the processor will be less loaded and, accordingly, work better.
But that's just my understanding. And an explanation in simple noob words)
If not right, correct)))

Not!!!
GT 220 is 4 times inferior to Intel HD 630 ( https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp... ) . Intel Hd 630 supports 4K video, three monitors, has lower power consumption, supports dx11 (don't care on Linux, but still), a newer version of OpenGL, OpenCL support, good drivers on Linux.
And let the old vidyukha with the old computer go to the medical center, let the TV provide porn and distribute files over the network.
I always buy the least expensive passively cooled nVidia card, because NV is the leader and trendsetter in 3D.
This is expressed in the fact that all software is first tested on NV, and only then on everything else. There is less chance of any problems, incompatibility with third-party products, etc. (Yes, I personally met such situations). And it's not AMD's or Intel's fault, it's just the way it is - a lot of third-party developers are focusing more on testing on a leading product.
In addition, a few years ago I did not like the font smoothing provided by the integrated Intel card (well, more precisely, of course, not by itself, but rather by the driver). Although I admit that now they have finished it.
In short, don't give a shit about speed - but for quality and stability I go to NV.
