https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H1B7ibjJZg is the actual video but it's, like, mostly actually about benchmarks and stuff.

(I found the actual test an interesting one, but I only really needed about 45 seconds of that 20 minute video)

(It's a handy demonstration of "what exactly does a shitty discrete GPU buy you")

tl;dr, is there any reason to get a discrete GPU with specs otherwise equal or worse than onboard graphics?
23:01
< Alek>
any useful reason, rather?

Additional output ports or cooperative GPU tech

Running a VM with the GPU and host gets the iGPU

< Alek>
so, nothing that affects me. bah.
