potatochobit Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I am considering a macbook pro but the cheapest model is only available with iris pro graphics is this good enough? the next model up is an extra 500$, whoa! I will not do any gaming though, but I will do rendering. I dont know much about iris pro though I hope this is not a rebranded HD4000.

El_Capitan Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Rendering what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 mostly adobe illustrator twisting and turning large 2gb files adding patterns, masks, etc. not much 3d modeling no video rendering,etc. I honestly don't think a graphic card matters much but you never know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Our Core i7 5775C review covered the Iris Pro 6200. No design work or anything, but it isn't a rebadged HD 4600 like you seem to be worried about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 It should be okay. Most of the rendering will be used by the CPU with Illustrator. Rotating the canvas may use GPU processing. For what you're mainly using it for, I don't see it as a problem. I guess the main question is whether you need a strong graphics card (or iGPU, or APU, or whatever) for what you're doing. As far as how terrible Iris Pro graphics is for what you're doing? Not so terrible. How terrible is Iris Pro graphics for what you aren't doing? It depends.

Braegnok Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I'v been running 4096X2304 at 60Hz with Skylake's integrated GPU (Iris Pro Graphics) on an ITX build for three months now with no issues,.. doing multimedia tasks, hardware-accelerated playback of ultra-high-definition video. The Iris Pro's video decoding/encoding engines support the HEVC/H.265 codec, the VP9 codec, and DirectX 11.2, OpenGL 5.0, and OpenCL 2.1 application programming interfaces. In terms of graphics processing performance,.. I would not use it for gaming rig or highly-parallel workloads,.. but the chip rocks at media playback.

cjloki Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Our Core i7 5775C review covered the Iris Pro 6200. No design work or anything, but it isn't a rebadged HD 4600 like you seem to be worried about. and i have a I7 5775c in my security camera server; it beautifully manages 6, 1920x1080 foscams with only 6-8% cpu usage... the color and resolution looks perfect even at night in infrared...and btw i think frank did a full comparison of the graphics when he did his review... main reason i switched from an I3 4370 to the I7 5775c was the graphics, and i'm not dissapointed one bit !
