How WELL does int. gr. work for Pro Tools? Well enough I suppose, but most use a dedicated GPU. It seems to me (not an expert on this...) that int. gr. will further tax the CPU, so perhaps best to use a GPU. You could just try it out, and if it does not suit your needs, you could always add a proper GPU later.
Good point EGS, thank you. So still like some years ago. I guess I could take an integrated graphics CPU first, test and then add a fanless graphic card later on if I really need more power or find trouble with Pro Tools dealing with it.
