Can I run a 1440p display with a Intel 4600 Onboard Grfx?

[airborne]

I want to move from 24" 1080p to 27" 1440p, the system is a desktop with i7 4790 20GB DDR3 SSD Intel 4600 HD Grfx. I'd prefer not to have to get a dedicated grfx card as it's a Lenovo system with small power supply and weird connectors. I do zero gaming, it'll only be used for photo editing and some light video editing.

You're fine. It will work.

It will work, so long as you are connected over hdmi or display port..

It's fine no worries.

Thanks, I will be using either hdmi or display port.
The big thing I'm worried about is if I will have any performance issues with running 1440p via the Intel 4600 Onboard Grfx. For my purposes outlined in the op do you guys think I won't have any issues?

In a similar vein I have seen people say to run a 4K display you have to a pretty decent dedicated grfx card, is that true or only if gaming?

If you're just doing nothing graphic intensive, it will be fine.

I you feel you need a dedicated graphics card later, look at the GT 1030 max TDP is 35 Watt. No extra power cable is needed. The GT 1030 support HEVC 265 encoding.

Thanks that's a really helpful chart. How much do those typically sell for new or 2hnd?

Around R1.5k, second hand shouldn't reduce the price by that much as it's not a part that's often upgraded, probably around 1200.

Your integrated graphics should be fine.

I was lucky, got one on bidorbuy for R700 18 months ago. Still think R700 is a good price today. Just don't buy the ddr3 version (or pay less for it) the Gddr5 version is a good card.

This all before rand drop, which upped everything by 30% and we'll probably not see that reduced for a while even if fand recovers.

Second hand market is always nice.
