Anything visual will benefit from having a dedicated GPU. What do you do with your computer?

Browse imageboards and watch videos (anime, normal movies, live action TV, etc)

That's actually a big misconception.

If you are a scientist you can use the GPU to make many simultaneous calculations with a bit of coding, which a GPU is actually quite good at.

anything 3D*

buying a discrete GPU for 2D jobs is a waste of money and power unless you're planning on using a lot of monitors

>>51893436
It makes sense if you take out the word dedicated.
>>
>>51893392
More screens.
>>
>>51893473
How many monitors? I have 2 VGA ones and 2 HDMI ones, would I be able to use all of them at once with a gpu?
>>
>>51893502
as many as your heart and/or wallet desires
>>
>>51893392
you can do parallel programming on the GPU
