Well all I can tell you is actually lookup the benchmarks, it does pretty well without spending money on a video card. It certainly doesn't replace a workstation card but it does in fact cut rendering time. This is coming from someone who actually uses it.
Also the iGPU is in fact a gpu. Also I dont think you really understand what I was saying. You can use any intel chip that has on chip GPU. It doesn't have to be the baller high end master race chip. It will do the work just the same. In the end you get what you pay for.
I also think this is part of the reason why you were on my ignore list to begin with.
