I am about to install a new mother board on my main machine, which is to run FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE. Of course a video card has benefits over the on-board video on older boards, but this board has two DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 1.4b so perhaps there is no benefit here. The board in question is Supermicro SuperO C0Z390-CG-O and the CPU is an Intel Core i9-9900 Coffee Lake 8 core. I had thought that a PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 560 14CU (1 x DL DVI-D 1 x HDMI 1 x DisplayPort) would be useful to replace my current lower level card - but now that I think about it I'm not so sure. I use two monitors, one is VGA only, and performance is not so important on that. The main one is a Dell S2415H with VGA and HDMI.
The question is, will I get better performance with a video card than with the on-board video - even a very small performance improvement would be of interest to me.
PS: I don't play games, but I edit images and also consider any processing delay over 20ms to be worth considering.
Also, I'm using an active adapter for the VGA monitor and will be happy to use that approach here.
