Intel Graphics 2000 or AMD 5450?

[warren_1979]

Hi.

I'm building a budget build for web surfing, movie watching/iplayer, a bit of Cubase sequencing. I will NOT be doing any gaming.

Is it worth getting a 5450 for £20 over the integrated grahpics 2000 of the Pentium G620?

I've heard that AMD is nice for 2d image quality or it that just a myth?

Cheers.

I would just stick with HD2000.

Its enough for 1080p playback.

Benchmarks place them roughly equal so save the money, extra power and heat and just stick with the IGP mate.

I think thats was true (that some makers had better image quality in 2d) 10 years ago, not im sure it cannot be true any more

Ok cool thanks.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I want to run dual monitors at some point in the future.

Is that possible with the HD 2000?

Yes you should be able to run one vga and one dvi.

But it depends on the motherboard
