I am planning on getting my next desktop computer for home and work-from-home uses. I don't play computer games, do 3D applications, nor video/graphic editing. I typically do web browsing, email, MS Office applications, WebEx conferencing, desktop sharing (e.g., join.me, TeamViewer, etc.), YouTube video, Skype, etc.
I am trying to determine what GPU score is needed for my uses. From my research, more and more web applications use GPU to process information. I am planning to get a main monitor with 2,560x1,440 resolution, which may further stress the needs of GPU.
I want this computer with CPU scores from 8,000 to 11,000. But what will be a good GPU score to consider?
My top choice for now is an Apple Mac Mini with Intel I7-3720QM@2.GHz. It has a CPU score of 8,335. But since it uses the integrated HD 4000 GPU, it only has a GPU score of 478. Will it be sufficient for me for the next 3-5 years? Please comment. Thanks.
