Does PSP 2021 require a graphics card?

[SvendN]

I am presently looking to upgrade my PC to a new desktop, and would like to know if PSP 2021 needs a dedicated graphics card to run properly? Or will it run fine with integrated graphics?

Many thanks in advance for the help.

It should will run fine with integrated graphics.

The tech specs say :
• DirectX 10 or higher compatible video adapter with the latest driver (DirectX 12 compatible discrete VGA card recommended for GPU acceleration)

My recent practical experience having migrated PSP 2020 from a laptop with i5-7200U processor, Intel integrated HD Graphics 620 and Nvidia GTX950M graphics to a desktop with AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G with integrated Radeon Graphics is that a separate graphics card is not essential.
With the new PC, even complicated brushes flow smoothly and rendering is fast.
A point to watch is that integrated graphics share system memory so it is worth specifying a larger system memory. Normally a graphics card can be added later if needed.

Thanks all, for the very helpful replies. And sorry for the slow response on my end -- I didn't get any notifications of new posts here.

Good to hear that it will run with integrated graphics -- saves a bit of money up front. As Andy mentioned, one can always be added later.

I plan to have 16 GB of ram, so should be good on that end, unless you recommend more(?). An SSD drive to run the OS and programs, plus a second HDD for storage, is also in the plans. Not decided on processor yet. I'm not particularly up to date tech-wise, so this is taking some time to get familiar with the latest hardware.
