[Is this graphics card enough?]

Hey thanks! Much appreciated

[Is this graphics card enough?]

Thanks for your informative answer. Yes the budget is limited, and I need to rethink this. Thinkpads are def not gaming laptops, but for me they have been reliable all-rounders. I now use a X201 for SL.

[Is this graphics card enough?]

Hello,

I'm planning to buy a new laptop, preferably a refurbished one. I've used Lenovo Thinkpads for a long time, and plan to stick with them, if possible.

Photography in SL is something I'd like to focus on, and I would need a laptop with a suitable graphics card so that I can use all the advanced shaders etc. I'm using Firestorm.

I'm looking at used Thinkpad X250 or X260. They have

Intel® HD Graphics 5500

or 

Intel^® HD Graphics 520,

respectively. 

Are these graphics cards enough for Firestorm and all the advanced options?

If not, I have the possibility to get a new Thinkpad, E495 that has

integrated AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics. 

That certainly should be enough for SL, or?

thanks for your help
