Poto Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I want to know how much Affintiy's software relies on the graphics card to make sure I should buy this laptop without a discrete graphics card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 28, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi Poto Lucky Just to let you know, I have edited your post slightly. I believe that this is not an advertisement and you are a genuine user - however we don't allow any sales here on the Affinity Forum, so I have removed all offers from your post. In regards to the laptop itself, it's certainly compatible with Affinity apps and many of our users have laptops with integrated Intel graphics and have no issues using the software. 12 hours ago, Poto Lucky said: I'm not sure that no graphics card can meet the needs for some extreme usage scenarios. This certainly depends on what you consider to be an 'extreme usage scenario', there are no functions in Affinity that require a discreet/dedicated GPU, however certain features may be faster if a dedicated GPU is available. I hope this helps! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
