should I add a graphics card?

I want to install Adobe Elements 2022 on a new build:

MB: MPG Z490 Gaming Plus
CPU: Intel Core i5-11600k @3.90 (w/ UHD 750)
RAM: Crucial 3200 MHz DDR4 32 GB
OS: Windows 10 64 bit (21H1)
Storage: 3 WD HDD's
Boot disk: Samsung 970 EVO plus 1T
case: NZXT H510

Would there be an advantage to adding a graphics card (assuming a compatible one can be found), or will the IGP suffice?

I run Premiere Elements 2021 on a PC with on-board graphics & am perfectly happy.

It would seem that the advantages of using a specialised graphics card are not all that great.

However, I would recommend using an SSD for all except archive / offline storage as that brings a big performance boost.

Are you happy running other programs while exporting files?

Installing an SSD makes a lot of sense, thanks. The 3 HDD's I'm using for storage are old and near capacity.

I'm sure not sure what you are driving at with this question. [Typo edited by moderator]

Whilst exporting I might check e-mails but I generally prefer to let the CPU (in my case with 8 threads) work through the video.

Once complete I will review the resulting complete video & if OK upload to YouTube.

You might have a better chance of future-proofing it if you add a video card.

Go to https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/gpu-acceleration.html and scroll down to see if your device is included... and what it does

The Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730 is listed. I'm asuming that the 750 hasn't been tested yet, but will work.

>speed up the rendering time when exporting files

You are using terms that have two different meanings... rendering is to improve playback, exporting is to create a new file

Did you go back to the link I posted to read what is done for RENDERING?

The card I have helps with real time playback, not with exporting

I did not have to do anything to disable the function inside the i9 processor... that is all (supposed to be) handled automatically

Over in Premiere Pro the video card is used for SOME parts of a video during exporting... based on everything I have read in this forum exporting is not helped by the video card

From the second paragraph: "This feature also accelerates the encoding pipeline and thus reduce the export time taken by PRE."

I've been trying to sort out my confusion for a while now as to whether export times would improve. I understood the above sentence as saying that it would.

Sorry about the "render." When I exported files in the past, I seem to remember a progress bar showing rendering time, and got in the habit of using "export" & "render" interchangeably.
