Light video editing - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M

[donline]

Hi folks, would NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 2GB be a good graphics card for light video editing (sony movie studio)? I'm looking at a laptop with this included (with i7-4720HQ processor). Thanks!

Light video editing should be no problem at all with that, you don't need anything too fancy.

Better processor/GPU just helps to encode the video faster, but doesn't prevent you from the activity.

I dont think it matters since its all gonna use the CPU anyways. Sony Vega on the other hand uses the video card for acceleration.

#2 is probably faster, games better, and battery lasts longer.
