| Jan 2, 2014 at 20:06 | comment | added | iKlsR | @Matt I think I summarized it well enough (it's good to have one but not necessarily needed) so feel free to add to it if you wish or roll your own answer :). | |
| Jan 2, 2014 at 20:04 | comment | added | Matt | I think this answer needs to be a bit more clear about the role that the GPU plays in rendering the viewport. Every point/line/poly that shows up in the viewport has to be rendered by the GPU. In fact, the principles are (by design) extremely similar to 3D gaming. Asking if you need a GPU for Blender is almost exactly like asking if you need a GPU to play computer games: it depends. Do you want to play Crysis or Tetris? Are you okay with playing Crysis at 2 fps on the lowest settings, or do you need to run max settings at 120 fps? It all depends. | |

Even for moderately complex scenes it's best to avoid onboard graphics whenever possible. | |
