We could be witnessing the death of the graphics card in real time right now, and I couldn’t be happier about it

A little over two years ago, I wrote about how integrated graphics were the future of gaming. I stand by the things I said in that article – if anything, recent developments in the computer hardware industry have vindicated me, and further convinced me that we’re seeing the slow death of the graphics card.

That’s right: I think the dedicated GPU is going to go the way of the dodo. It’s an almost heretical thing to say as a long-time PC gamer and system builder; I own more than 500 games on Steam alone, and I’ve built a ridiculous number of PCs both for work and personal use over the years. I’m not afraid of being crucified by Reddit for saying that I both believe and hope that GPUs will die out, but I’d frankly understand if they did so. It’s a dramatic statement to make.
