Do you see any advantages in using a simple dedicated GPU (those $150-200 cards) instead of an iGPU for everyday activities like browsing the web or running other operating systems?

Generally, you don't require a real GPU for most tasks. The IGPU takes up part of your main memory, which isn't usually a big problem unless you're working with many open tabs. A TV can browse the web and stream videos like YouTube or Netflix without issues, as it has its own processor with an IGPU that's much less powerful than a typical CPU.

I'm wondering why someone gave me an Intel A750 for $75
I considered using it in a browser-only machine to see if it could be useful.

Ensure you have a PSU that can manage it.
It could ease your expenses when you review the electricity bill.

There are no advantages available for your case.

In everyday use an igpu works just fine. At work we handle various software with many monitors, but for gaming or design the gpu is better. For regular tasks like browsing just use the igpu.

The iGPU consumes fewer watts compared to the A750.

Usually it does, but even the A750 doesn't use much power at such light loads.

I'll be using 2x4K displays with 120Hz. If I watch a YouTube video on one monitor (4K) and browse on another, switching tabs etc., will it feel smoother or more responsive—especially when interacting with JS-heavy sites or animations? Will it remove any minor issues that might occur with the iGPU during hardware-accelerated CSS animations or at high refresh rates? Also, does the AI consistently behave as expected?
