What iGPU or GPU for X.265

[Relentless81]

Hi,

There are some PC's coming up for sale at work and I've always wondered why my current media PC (I3) is happy with X.264 but cant play X.265

I want to potentially address this by buying one of the PC's from work which will no doubt be cheap and be I5 and I7's but I dont know what to look out for in terms of iGPU or if no iGPU will do it and I'll need discreet?

Thanks

HEVC is the same thing as X.265 afaik.

Yeah I think HEVC and x.265 are the same thing

Thanks, that chart tells me everything I need to know, I doubt any of these desktops are that recent but you never know

Cheers
