> I can only dream of a day when dedicated video cards become just as redundant. They have been for years as long as you don't need high end 3D or compute capabilities. Intel's iGPUs are plenty for most normal desktop use cases and AMD's are good enough to run most mainstream games as long as you're willing to turn the detail down a bit. Not to mention what Apple and the ARM world in general have done. Someone who's not looking to play the latest games with the settings cranked can easily go without. The top end will always want as much horsepower as they can get, so the dedicated video card is never going away unless we figure out some new sort of computational load that takes over the accelerator market in the same sort of way that GPGPU killed standalone audio and physics acceleration.
