Disadvantage of having no GPU.

Ok, so I currently have a GTX 760 and I'm wanting to sell it to be able to buy an Xbox One (yeah, yeah, bully me idc ;P) but i was wondering what things besides not being able to game wont i be able to do without a GPU?

Nvidia shadowplay as a given. Then the lack of CUDA will impact any tasks requiring this GPGPU tasks for instance.

Apart from that l am sure other people in the know will have a greater understanding.

As long as you CPU has an integrated iGPU then the whole everyday computer experience should not really take a hit.

Yeah, i have an i5 2500k, so would it be alright for video editing and photoshop (light photoshop that is) im a frequent YouTuber so ya know

By shadowplay, CEUOTC means nvidias video recording software. People use it to record gameplay footage.

I don't see why you would, as its an expensive downgrade but if you wouldn't game on the pc you won't lose much..

Ok so all I use my PC for is video editing, photoshop and my elgato etc.

I run two monitors, but my i5 2500k can run 2 monitors.

So will there a be a dramatic loss in performance? I WONT want to game on my PC as I only use my PC for gaming every other week but with my XBox i can use it all the time.
