Hello, I would like to know if someone uses Krita with an intel i7 processor, without dedicated gpu, only with integrated graphics, and if it works well. I want to buy a new PC and I do not know if a dedicated GPU is absolutely necessary to work with Krita, and I do not have a budget. Thank you!

Intel's display chips are absolutely fine, unless you happen to be using an old laptop with a HD3000 that was upgraded from Vista or 7 to Windows 10. You don't need a dedicated GPU, and if you're buying a new system today, you should be fine.

Thank you for the quick response, and I would like to go into it further:
I discovered Krita a year ago, and since then it has become my main drawing program. I am a painter and illustrator (non-digital, that is, with classical techniques), and Krita has helped me to discover a land that I did not know and thought much more limited and poor results. So I decided to take full advantage of the use of digital techniques to redirect my artistic production. I use it together with a Wacom Intuos tablet. As I said, I'm going to buy a new PC, and I want to make sure it fits well with my needs (basically Krita, something from ArtRage and Photoshop ...). I need a computer basically to draw and paint, the rest is accessory. My first idea as to CPU is an Intel Core i7, and, according to your answer, not necessarily with a dedicated GPU. But it seems that the scene is somewhat upset with the appearance of the Ryzen of AMD. The problem is that they do not have integrated graphics, and it should be added. My training is artistic, and computing sometimes surpasses me ... I mean, I would not know which GPU to add, without falling short or passing me ... In summary, I am thinking of putting a Ryzen 5, and I do not know if it is a good option for the use of Krita, nor that GPU is doing well. Is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 too much? Another issue is that I'm thinking about trying Linux (I think Linux Mint), and I read that it does not get along very well with Intel's integrated graphics, and that dedicated graphics are doing better NVIDIA. Sorry if I overextended, and thanks again. |

I've only ever heard of problems with AMD _G_PU's on Linux, they can be trickier to get to work well. Ryzen sounds cool indeed, and we're working hard on optimizing krita for many-core systems. But any Core i7 with integrated graphics would be fine. I'm not too into versions and numbers of graphics cards, since basically everything recent is good enough. If you start with an intel core i7 and integrated graphics in a desktop system, you can always add a graphics card later on. The main thing is memory. Get 8, or better 16, or even better 32 gb of memory.
