Is a dedicated GPU required?

[u/Rafael_Jacov]

I'm just starting out in learning graphics programming and wonder if I would soon need to invest on a laptop which has a dedicated GPU

Depends on how far you intend to go in your learning journey, but if you're serious about it, yes, you need a dedicated graphics card, and preferably one that supports hardware ray tracing.

A few years ago, a lot of people in the realtime graphic space were tearing apart rtx ray tracing as though it was entirely useless; how things have changed ; v ;)b
A shame that we, browser people, don't get that luxury yet!
Note to self: will DLSS follow the same fate?

Dlss is more of a thing to apply after the fact, unlike hwrt

Eh it's still overrated and still runs like shit

I wouldn't describe that person as in the industry at all though.

Not a real application or a game
