Integrated gpu on Live 12

Post by gastromush » Sat Feb 01, 2025 3:26 pm

Good afternoon,

I use integrated gpu; should i better get a discrete one? I wonder if it would make things better or worse.

I also guess the iGPU is fine, how much GPU load does Ableton cause?

On a related idea,

I wonder if the folks at Ableton plan to leverage your typical GPU's CUDA cores?
The routine number crunching for sound processing might be better suited to the GPU.

The question then would be, does integrated graphics support CUDA?
