>implying integrated graphics could run an extra shader
memory performance is the doom of integrated GPUs
I once had a decently running Intel HD 530 and the framerates almost halved the moment I switched from dual-channel to single-channel memory
When the GTX 760 still looks beautiful on a Debian machine, but you also runnin’ an AMD card right next to it so your windows VM can have something to output to…
Also, AMD U for the win. (Intel is too expensive.)
Runs Portal 2 on max settings. Runs Crysis on max settings (38 fps cap)

Oh wow! That’s awesome, thanks for the info man, I may be able to get my beastpc sooner than I thought! :D Rock on, brony, rock on! \m/
There is no difference between nvidia and radeon. In the budget / performance tests the testers mostly prefer radeon. But the same budget offers same performance. And they are ing the same things.

I can see why you would think that, but honestly, this really did help me make up my mind between NVidia and Radeon, I’m not very tech-savvy yet, so I was stuck between the two because of two of my friends suggestions. :3

4 years ago 1k was great, and now look at how things evolved, as of late 2019, you get gpus that cost 1.2k
things have changed

It’s just because of art styles xD

You can build a machine to play Skyrim at max for half that, actually. I did it with a meh AMD u and a GTX 660 for a GPU.
And WoW takes up even fewer resources. Nah, $1k is a fairly good budget for a gaming machine.
Trust me, I’ve had enough of Intel’s shit to last a lifetime. Damn things wouldn’t even let me load the Portal 1 TITLE SCREEN.
Never buy Intel…
Would a $1000 budget be decent? I was hoping to play things like Skyrim or WoW in 60fps at full settings.
I would say it relies more on your budget than anything.
In my experience, you get more for your dollar with nVidia, but you can get a decent AMD card for cheaper.

not sure if sarcasm or what but nvidia IS good.
