Is the HD4000 adequate for HD video editing or do I need a discrete video card? I won't be playing any games.
I understand that some editing software such as Sony Movie Studio can benefit from a discrete video card for rendering, but does that only apply to the final render (rather than previewing during editing)? If I've spent a few hours filming and editing, I don't mind waiting 15 minutes rather than 10 for the final output to render.
I'm thinking of getting an i7 3770k overclocked to 4.2ghz (along with 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD). Initially I had thought that I would need a video card such as a GTX 660ti, but these forums seem to be suggesting that a powerful video card is needed only for gaming, and that the HD4000 on an i7 should be adequate for HD video editing.
