I am getting a high spec PC but it only has Intel UHD Graphics not a dedicated Graphics card.   Will Photoshop etc work well?  What issues may arise?

I am about to order an HP Elite Tower with 80GB of RAM and an installed UHD Graphics 770 processor (memory is shared with system.  Processor is Intel 13 gen i7-13700 ,which should be damn fast.  System memory is 80GB and storage is 2TB SSD.

The price seems fantastic ($999.99) and I will monitor the Adobe Community for 2 weeks before opening the box (return privlidge) to see if there are any negative comments.

In general “it depends.” Photoshop has run on computers with Intel integrated graphics for many years. The problem is that Intel integrated graphics spans a very wide range, from extremely weak versions on low spec consumer PCs, up to the latest upper end versions which should work well enough for most image editing.

 

If it is a high spec PC with a recent generation of Intel Core processor, like maybe 11th generation or later, Photoshop will probably be fine, because Intel integrated graphics have improved a lot. If you later add a discrete graphics card, any GPU-accelerated features may be faster and more responsive.

 

Remember that for Intel integrated graphics, graphics memory is taken from system memory. So if you want Intel integrated graphics to have the most memory it can, the PC should exceed the recommended amount of system memory in the Photoshop system requirements.

The minimum system requirements are here:

With only integrated graphics you may find some GPU functionality does not work
