    Personally I’m getting rid of my GTX 1080 in favor of an AMD iGPU next time I upgrade, so it would seem to me that it’s the right path.

      I don’t know how far down the line that upgrade might be, but I’ve recently used both a 1080 and the latest-gen (see reply below) an AMD igpu (7600x) and I gotta say the 1080 is still significantly more powerful. Maybe if the upgrade is soon hold off on selling the 1080 until you see if you’re satisfied with the igpu performance?

        It’s not even about performance; I just don’t play anything that can justify a discreet GPU and I’m imagining the idle power draw is gonna be significantly better on a CPU with an integrated GPU than a CPU+GPU.

          Alright, I’m gonna be that guy:

          You said “discreet GPU”, that would mean something like a GPU that is careful, guarded, and keeps your secrets.

          I think you meant a “discrete GPU”, which would mean a GPU that is distinct and separate from the rest of the system, so not built into the same silicon as the CPU or motherboard.

        Aren’t 8600g and 8700g the latest iGPU offerings from AMD, with significant increases over 7000 line iGPUs? The 5000G series had better iGPUs than the 7000 series.

            They launched earlier this year, but being AM5 it usually is still cheaper to grab a 5000 series processor and discrete GPU, but definitely nice for a SFF build.

        The igpu in the 7600x is not meant for gaming. It can’t even run 1080p RuneScape 3 on normal settings without lag. Only runs fine with minimum settings. Even a GTX 770 is much more powerful.
