Will non-nvidia laptop graphic card run daz Studio?

Hi there.  I recently got a new laptop, which works well for a lot of other purposes.  It's got an i7 chip and 16 gigs of ram.  However it does not have an Nvidia graphic card, it has a Intel HD 520.  I understand that Iray only works with Nvidia cards, so how will rendering be hampered if I use Daz Studio on this machine?  Any info appreciated thanks.  Below are the specs of the card.

Studio will work fine except Iray will render on the CPU only which will make renders take longer to finish. If you want quicker renders then render in 3Dlight.

Thanks Fishtales.  If speed is the only caveat, I'll stick with the Iray.  The laptop is not my only option, it's just that being a new machine I wanted to see if I can get DazStudio to work in it.  I work with Daz Studio on my pc with an Nvidia card, and the results are great with Iray.  I've tried 3Dlight and although the renders work well for some artistic applications, I like the realism of Iray, which I can then further develop in photoshop, if I want something less real, more painterly.  Thanks again.
