Separate graphics card?
« on: 2015 August 06 00:04:33 »
If I already have Intel HD4600 graphics is there anything to be gained in PI from adding a separate graphics card?

Thanks,

Jim
Really, are clear skies, low wind and no moon that much to ask for?

In my experience: Not really. The graphics done by PI are not very complex. You better invest money in RAM and fast CPUs.
