Intel HD graphics 520 - What games can it play?

[Tom_22_]

So I recently bought an HP with Intel core i3 6100 at 2.3 GHz, 6 gigs ram and integrated graphics with Intel HD Graphics 520. (link here: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-13-3-touchscreen-convertible-laptop-silver-intel-core-i3-6100u-6th-gen-500gb-hdd-6gb-ram-win10-13-s138ca/10393987.aspx?path=6f939560d1146126ab49de5df6cc5bf5en02). So I'm not a big gamer but every now and again I like to play. I know this computer isn't a gaming machine but if I was playing on lower settings, what kind of games could I play? Is Shadow or Mordor too demanding for this PC? I would just like it to be playable without being an exercise in frustration. Is that possible with these specs and this PC? Are there games that it just won't play (even on lower settings)?

Thanks.

You should be able to play less demanding games, newer games at lowest settings/resolution. FPS wont be great for new games and yes some games perhaps wont run on integrated. Newer games might need quad core CPU too and at least 8GB RAM.

If you want to play any demanding game at all you will need a computer with a dedicated graphics card.

About 2 years ago I was the same as you, I had a i3 laptop though with HD 3000 and god it sucked (my Dad said he'd get me a gaming laptop....yeee dad gaming laptop suuure...boom office laptop)

I now run a desktop I built myself with a i5 4460, 2x4GB (8GB), MSI GTX 970 4GB.

If you want to game get a dedicated graphics card..

You could actually play some older games at low settings, like F.E.A.R. or Medal of Honor. If you have the option, change the memory allocation for the iGPU in Bios to Max.

Maybe this will help.
I have one ultrabook from Dell with HD520, installed Starcraft 2. Can play at high settings on missions, but when the game demands more (like multiplayer), ned to adjust to mid settings.
Also tested on DOTA 2, and works fine at all high settings, and NBA2K at med settings.
Have fun!

i've got an hp with the intel hd 520 and it has run everything i've tried so far...albeit on lower/lowest settings, which to me i don't care.

GTA 4, Bioshock 2, Warhammer 40k space marines, batman arkham origins, dirt showdown, fear 3. all running at 30+ FPS. GTA 4 so far is probably the worst performing of the group.

It's not a bad setup as long as your are not expecting high resolution/high settings.
