9500 GT Performs better than Intel HD 610

[Matias_10]

Now, I have a brand new PC and a spare 9500 GT ZOTAC from an old build, so i tested C15 benchmarks, and the results were that the IGPU performs better than the Graphics card, which i understand because the Zotac is pretty old.
But when its about playing videogames, i get better frames, as an example Paladins
With the Intel HD i got 50-30 frames
But with the 9500 GT i got 70-55 frames
I will later try with other games, but is my IGPU not funcioting alright?
or is it just that the Zotac just for being a Graphics card is already better?

The hd 610 (I assume is from a g4560) is pretty weak. How much ram do you have? I suspect you're running out of ram since the igp uses system ram

I have 4 gb ram but i dont think it would make a big difference with more than 2-10 frames, but ill try with 8 gb

9500GT is a DX10 card and the games are likely using the DX9 codepath.

HD Graphics 610 is DX12 at feature level 12_1 so modern games will likely use the higher quality but slower DX12 codepath by default. If you force the rendering to DX9 mode it may show better performance.
