If you’re not editing anything very intense and you’re not doing editing as a critical part of your career, it’s possible you don’t need a dedicated GPU, or at least not a high-end model. But even during normal market conditions, a middle-of-the-road graphics card will still cost hundreds of dollars. At the time of recording, the market for graphics cards is a mess, with even low-end cards in high demand and selling for far more than they’re normally worth. Whether you need a graphics card is up to you. In the last few years, GPU-accelerated rendering has vastly improved, allowing for fast video renders using the GPU instead of the CPU. What the graphics card, or GPU, does is help display and render animations, special effects, and 3D effects.
A good CPU and a good amount of RAM will get you pretty far, and are arguably more important. The integrated graphics from your processor will be able to handle most editing that doesn’t involve a lot of effects. So first of all, what place do graphics cards have in video editing, and why do you need one? For more basic editing, you actually don’t need one at all.
