Do people use GPUs for anything other than gaming?

Of course not, that would be silly.

Maybe.

I use mine for madvr placebo.

No why else would it be called a gaming processing unit

>>59548214
Nothing that matters.

Video and image editing applications can utilize some GPU hardware to accelerate functions.

I believe media players can as well and I'm sure there are heaps more those are the only ones I am familiar with.

I think video players and stuff do use the GPU.
I had this PC with intel HD graphics and it would shit itself trying to play videos over 1080p. Even then 1080p videos stuttered.

This. HD video often times needs dedicated graphics in order to render steadily, which is why you see nVidia cards down in the 20 or 30 range (GTX 730 for example). Granted, those cards aren't going to be good for much more than that, but they'll do the job better than an iGPU.
