Dedicated GPU Vs Integrated Graphics Card (GPU) for Video Editing

In this video we are going to look at Dedicated GPU Vs Integrated GPU for video editing. We are going to look at how they work, the performance benefits of each one, and which use cases best fit each type of graphics processing unit. ►⏩►⏩ Show notes and extra details below…

What are the physical differences between dedicated and integrated GPUs?

– Dedicated GPU has its own position and peripherals on the motherboard. It is a separate component.

– Integrated GPU is where the CPU and the GPU live in harmony together within the same “die”. A processor die is a single continuous piece of semiconductor material (usually made out of silicon).

What are some of the main performance differences between a dedicated GPU and an integrated GPU?

Dedicated GPU: It’s sole purpose of existence is to display and process graphical information. So this is either rendering a motion design project or displaying 4k playback on your screen while editing in the timeline.

Integrated GPU: Because the iGPU is a part of the CPU it can only produce so much power. The dedicated GPU die is actually bigger than the CPU. It’s hard to fit a lot of power in a small space.

What are some of the limitations that each graphics processing unit faces?

– Transistors: Get smaller every year, but rather than focusing on making the GPU smaller, they make them more powerful.

– Heat: GPUs get HOT, which is why dedicated GPUs in desktop PCs come with their own fan system. Your Laptop is trying to do this with heat pipes and the small built-in fans.

Memory Limitations: Dedicated GDDR5 Vs the integrated GPU sharing the CPU system’s main memory DDR4.

Money: CPUs can be made far more affordably without massive integrated GPUs. And this is more financially viable.

What are the highlighted benefits of choosing an integrated graphics processing unit vs a dedicated graphics processing unit?

Integrated Graphics Benefits
– Runs cooler.
– Often quieter.
– Thinner and lighter form factor.
– Better battery life.
– Usually better build materials for the same price.

Dedicated Graphics Benefits
– Faster export times.
– Smoother timeline playback.
– Higher quality screen resolution.
– Vastly better live stream capable.
– Frees up the CPUs workload.
