Would graphic card Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics be good for Premiere CS6?

I would like to buy this laptop from Aldi in Germany - MEDION AKOYA Notebook S15449 (MD63975) - but I don't know if its Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics is suitable for Adobe Premiere CS6 - could anyone tell me if it would be ok without any problems?

https://www.aldi-onlineshop.de/p/notebook-s15449-md63975-1016277/

Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 processor with Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics (2.80 GHz, up to 4.70 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, 4 cores, 8 threads & 12 MB Intel® Smart Cache)

2TB PCIe SSD, 16 GB DDR4 memory with up to 3,200 MHz

 

I currently have very old Premiere version (CS6) because I can't afford newer one, but who knows, maybe in next couple years I would also get the newer version, so I would like to know if this graphic card Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics would be good for both Premiere versions? Please help me.

 

On a forum post I read that some complain about crashing after only a couple of minutes, glitches, pixelation and other malfunctions - https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/are-intel-iris-xe-graphics-compatible-with-premiere-pro/td-p/12316648 which is confusing because under system requirements this graphic card Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics is listed there - https://helpx.adobe.com/de/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html

 

I am also wondering of the old Premiere CS would be compatible with the newest technology Laptop, so I would reeeealy appreciate if someone competentcould give me clear answers. Thank you in advance and all the best.

 

regards,

natalija

I am sorry to tell you this, but CS6 will not run well at all on that laptop. You see, the Windows version of CS6 does not support OpenCL for GPU acceleration at all. Only CUDA, which absolutely requires a discrete Nvidia GPU, is supported. And no non-Nvidia GPU supports CUDA at all. As a result, Premiere Pro CS6 will be permanently locked to the MPE software-only mode on that laptop (no GPU hardware acceleration whatsoever).

    Thank you so much.

    I must admit, half of it I don´t understand, the tech jargon, but I get the point and it might be useful to some other readers of this post. If I understood correctly, this means that also all the other softwares like Photoshop, InDesign and Dreamweaver wouldnt work either, right?

    Do you know if there is a way to obtain another free or cheaper old Version of Adobe collection, which would work on that laptop?
