GPU/Laptop recommendations

[Guest Guest]

We've always purchased devices with intel graphics as we've never had the need for a GPU. However, we've just had a CCTV system installed and my year old ThinkBook is struggling to run ivms.

 

I'm clueless with regards to graphics cards as I've never been a gamer or used anything particularly graphics intensive.

 

What would you recommend in terms of either laptops or GPUs? I'd like to stay on a laptop for obvious reasons

 

Thanks

I'd guess your best option would be a laptop with Thunderbolt 3/4 and then an eGPU?

According to their documentation:

Processor Intel® Xeon® E3-1226 V3 @ 3.30GHz

Operating System Microsoft® Windows 7 (64-bit)

Video Card Intel® HD Graphics P4600

High Performance

Processor Intel® Core™ i7-6700K @ 4GHz

Any 3000 series should be fine i'd imagine

 

Edit: Most likely cheaper to buy a cheap refurb desktop and stick a GPU in it. Then access it remotly from laptop
