Can Your Business Computer Benefit from a Dedicated GPU?

When you think about dedicated graphics cards and powerful GPUs, the first thing that might come to mind is video gaming. However, it’s not just gamers that can benefit from having a more powerful graphics card in their setup. If you are running a business and use a desktop or laptop PC on a daily basis to run a lot of tasks, then it might be worth considering upgrading the graphics card in your setup for a wide range of benefits.

What is a GPU?

A GPU such as Lenovo Intel® Arc™ Graphics stands for graphics processing unit. It is a specialist type of processor for manipulating graphics data. While a standard CPU or central processing unit can do some graphical tasks, it’s not usually anywhere near as fast as a specialist GPU, as any gamer will tell you. The GPU focuses mainly on graphics and video rather than running programs, which in turn, can help to boost the overall performance of your business or workplace computer.

The Benefits of a GPU for Software

If you work with lots of videos or photos, having a fast GPU can make a significant difference to your experience when using editing software. Tasks that will usually take a long amount of time to run using a CPU with an integrated graphics chip can be done in significantly less time when you have a dedicated GPU. There are lots of popular editing software apps that will take advantage of the added boost that comes with a GPU including Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Lightroom, so if you use any of these regularly for your business, it’s definitely worth the investment.

How a GPU Can Improve Computer Performance

When it comes to improving the performance of your business computer overall, a GPU isn’t just going to speed up editing software programs. Anything from web browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox to video calling programs like Zoom and Microsoft Teams can take advantage of the GPU to improve page rendering times and faster graphics loading, as the GPU will take a load off the CPU when running these programs, allowing your computer to run faster and more smoothly no matter what you are doing.

Can a GPU Improve Your OS?

With a dedicated GPU, your experience with your operating system can also be much improved. Experts say that Windows itself benefits when run on a computer with a dedicated graphics processing unit, and you may notice that elements of the user interface such as animations and transparency effects are faster and smoother, while the operating system itself loads faster and is easier to use, as the CPU is no longer burdened with all the graphical processing along with running the program itself. This is especially true if you are running a newer version of Windows on a computer with older hardware, where a GPU can provide the boost that it needs to keep up.

If you are thinking of upgrading and investing in a new PC for your business, then graphics cards aren’t just for gamers. There are lots of ways that a dedicated GPU can boost the performance of your business or work device.
