If you’re unsure which GPU your Mac or PC is using, follow these links for instructions on how to find out: That’s why computers called “gaming systems” tend to have dedicated GPUs, while budget laptops tend to have integrated GPUs. An Intel processor with integrated GPU, installed on a motherboard Dedicated GPU (the lovely Nvidia 1660 Super)Ĭomputers with integrated GPUs will typically cost less and consume less power than those with dedicated GPUs, but dedicated GPUs offer better graphics performance. The other option for a GPU is a dedicated GPU, which is a standalone card that plugs into your motherboard and contains its own processor, memory, and cooling system. An integrated GPU shares some of your main system memory. Integrated vs DedicatedĪn “integrated” GPU is one built into the CPU, which is your computer’s main processor. Starting with the March release of game version 1.23, the Zwift game app will no longer function on affected computers. Starting March 2022, Zwift will no longer run on computers using the following integrated GPUs:Īnyone Zwifting on a computer using these GPUs will begin to see messaging in-game with the February game release v 1.22, and should also receive notification via email. This deprecation announcement comes soon after Zwift ended support for old operating systems in December 2021 and January 2022, including Windows 7/8, macOSX 10.11, iOS 11, and Android 6. These CPUs can fully take advantage of the higher number of core/threads and offer superior performance and efficiency.Last week, Zwift announced via a forum post that certain older integrated graphics processing units (GPUs) will no longer be supported for PC or Mac users starting in March 2022. If you intend to make intensive use of multithreaded applications, then the best choice would be a processor from the 13th generation ( Raptor Lake) Intel i7 or 7th generation AMD Ryzen 7 ( Raphael). Intel's K series CPUs are suggested only for users that like to overclock their processors, if you do not have any intentions to overclock your processor, you should save some money by picking the normal version of the CPU. These CPUs are the best choice for a mid/high-end PC, being able to take advantage of any graphic card full potential, while keeping an acceptable price. With their integrated RX Vega GPU they are also suitable for playing video games, but do not expect very good frame rates compared to dedicated graphics cards, even at lower resolutions.įor people who desire more performance, our recommendation is a 12th generation ( Alder Lake) Intel i5 or 5th generation AMD Ryzen 5 ( Vermeer). They are optimal choices for HTPCs or in general for whom is using the PC mainly to watch movies, browse the internet and using Microsoft Office. Ryzen 5600G / 5700G are good models of CPUs with integrated GPU for limited budgets and for people who don’t want to invest a lot of money on a dedicated graphic card.
