I’ve been using integrated graphics card since I’ve gotten my computer. I didn’t knew how unsmooth we’re graphics 'till I got this Radeon card from 2013. Tho it’s quite old, it really made entire desktop experience appear a lot smoother. Also card installation process was literally plug-n-play, I didn’t had to install any driver. I’ve just plugged it to motherboard and it have worked.
of course you didn’t. Your hardware is pretty new, mine is from win 7 era.
Ah yes, I hadn’t read quite closely enough. Still good that by adding a proper GPU, you extended the life of your system!
