Have Dell/Amd Radeon HD8490 graphics card in my Dell Optiplex 7020 sff desktop.
In light of fact that system has 32gb of RAM, and I don't do any gaming or anything else with high intensity graphics, do I gain
any "material" benefit from using the graphics card as opposed to the system's analog on-board Intel graphics ?
One reason I am asking is that the fan on the graphics card apparently has some wear of the fan bearings because it is noisy for a short while after boot, quiets down after a short period, and I don't think this is due to decreased speed of the fan, think fan is slightly bad.
I know I can buy another card for small price but can't really see that if there is no benefit to having the card in the first place.
Thanks.
