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.

    Do you know if Adobe Premiere Pro 7 Version CC 2017.1.2 would work on that laptop?

    Thank you for your generous and kind answer. I didn't receive the usual email notification about your reply, therefore I respond late.

    Your tech jargon is like Eskimo language to me but what I get from it, and correct me if I am wrong, the new Premiere Pro supports this graphic card, so this laptop would be good enough for it, right?

    When you wrote "its performance", I was not sure if you meant the performance of the laptop or of the graphic card and didn't quite get it why you compared it to MacBook Air since the laptop in question was with Windows. I am aware that this is a cheap laptop (but it offers much for the price) but I was wondering if it would suffice for Premiere, especially if the graphic card would do, since I was concerned about the complaints in another forum post here. Also, I heard that because of transportation issues during pandemic, many new laptops have bad graphic cards.

     

    Since I only have the old Premiere CS6 which would not work on this laptop, as you wrote, I decided not to buy that laptop for the time being and instead keep my 3-year old laptop but I might pay someone to increase RAM or DDR4 from current 8 GB to 16 GB, as well as SSD from current 512GB to 1TB. This would cost me 1/3 of the price of that new laptop. Do you think this is good idea? I have no idea if increasing a laptop's capacity has any disadvantages, that is why I ask.

    My current Asus laptop has graphic card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 T, which is better than Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics of the new Medion laptop, I assume, so instead of buying a laptop with more capacity but worse graphic card, I plan to keep the old laptop with better graphic card and pay to increase the capacity. Any objections to that?

     

    Some time, when I can afford the new version of Premiere Pro, then I would buy a new laptop, because at this time I can't do both (plus new MS Office etc.)


    Hi. Please did you eventually get the laptop with the intel iris? Did it work?
