Hi sifus,
Would spending buying graphics card money on cpu worth it? Since i dont do much gaming, at most csgo and not that often as well.
For instance a i7-6700K cpu without any help of graphics card will boost my comp faster reduce time of video rendering, while it can support csgo?

You should be able to get by CS:GO at 720p with lower detail settings.

When computer comes with graphics/video editing, it usually will relate to CUDA or OpenGL.

CUDA is from Nvidia
OpenGL is from AMD.

So, 1st of all you need to understand that your video editing software is uses CUDA or OpenGL.

And, as far as I know, the video editing software that utilize GPU is usually perform better.

open GL is available to both as it is open sos'ed.
CUDA though is Nvidia only.

Then what's the purpose of having a strong cpu?

But Nvidia GPU is not optimized for OpenGL.
AMD and Intel HD Graphics is optimized for that.
Nvidia always push for CUDA. tongue.gif

Strong CPU I think is more on video encode and decode.

Some software say GPU support but it doesn't necessarily work, some it works after certain tuning.

CPU power is GUARANTEED to work.

Goldfries already answered the question, if you want stronger integrated GPU buy i7 5775c Brodwell CPU with integrated Iris Pro GPU. It could handle quite a lot of new games at decent resolution and detail level.

It's OpenCL not OpenGL. OpenCL is an open standard not started by AMD
