2019 MBP graphics for 4k monitor

[pgseye]

Hi,

I'm looking to replace my 2012 MBP and am not sure what to get as far as the graphics go. I'm not into gaming - with some photo editing (not much video) as my main graphics intensive task. The only other thing is I'd like to hook up at least one 4k (possibly 2) monitors.

Is there any great benefit in me going to a Vega card over the basic 560X for any of this?

Thanks

I've run 2x 4K displays (plus the built in one) from the 555x in the "base" 2018 MBP15 without issues.

I'm running 2x 4K displays on my i9 560x without any hiccups or stutters. Don't think the Vega would do any better, however the Vega does use about 3watts less power when displays are connected, but I'm always charging while the monitors are connected so it's no issue for me and the heat is perfectly fine on the 2019 model and much better than my old 2018.
