<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Could you please advise on the recommended system requirements for a smooth and reliable experience with QGIS, particularly regarding the necessity of a dedicated graphics
card? With the performance improvements in the latest high-end CPUs from Intel and AMD, is a dedicated GPU still essential for most use cases, or are integrated solutions now sufficient?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Additionally, I would appreciate your insight into which specific application scenarios still benefit significantly from a dedicated graphics card when working with
QGIS or related geospatial tools.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
