the intel GPU's are pretty fair nowadays, with the HD 4200+ graphics systems. but if you have a discrete GPU from nvidia or AMD as well as one on the motherboard you may want to disable the onboard one. this can cause issues unless your drivers can integrate it well. Laptops are a bit different because of the nvidia optimus functionality to use the intel gpu unless a workload of sufficient complexity comes along to require the additional horsepower.On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 12:25 PM, Michael Butash <michael@butash.net> wrote:---------------------------------------------------Correct, even anything since the Core line of intel's have come with (crappy) gpu's on them in the cpu die, for better or usually worse.
Intel's usually cause more harm than good sadly, thus disabling them occasionally helps if your browser is trying to offload gpu function to a chronically dysfunctional gpu (or driver).

What kind of system are you using, Mike? Even if you don’t have a desktop PC with a high-powered Nvidia or Radeon GPU card plugged into the motherboard, your system will have some type of GPU. If you don’t have an add-on card, it will probably be provided by a (usually weak) on-board Intel HD type of GPU.
