Couple years ago, maybe 2018.  I had a support issue with ZoomText Fusion and after going through several people i got a long time support person who was very helpful and we solved a performance issue.  That was on an Intel graphics card.  The useful part of this story however is that tech support person noted Nvidia as being the preferred graphics card at that time.

For what it’s worth I have Nvidia and Intel graphics cards in two Laptops and the Nvidia performs better.  I cannot speak to Radeon cards at all.

Good luck.  Let us know how it turns out whichever you get.
