Do I need an intense GPU to run a high resolution (say 4K or 5K ultrawide)? The 13" MacBook Pro does it on integrated graphics right?

Start off by saying I have absolutely no need for a powerful GPU, my tasks almost only use the CPU and I have a Windows PC with some great gaming specs and a GPU, so I don't need it for gaming or anything.

Would I then still need a high end GPU to run something like a 4K or 5K ultrawide display (not the Ultrafines, but LG's new 5K ultrawide thing for example)?

I doubt it because the 13" MacBook Pro can drive a 5K display on integrated graphics alone (it has no dedicated graphics), but I wanted to make sure before sourcing parts
