Back in the day, probably in 2011-2012, I used to have a Celeron G530 system with 2 GB RAM (afterward 4, I think) and while playing CS 1.6 with many players, the integrated Intel HD 2000 made things slow down and not run smoothly. Now, that seems very much weird, because the Intel HD 2000 should still be plenty powerful for such an old game with such simple graphics. When I upgraded to a Radeon HD 6770 that problem disappeared. Later I upgraded the CPU to an i7-3770K and the RAM to 16 GB. After that I updated it further with a single HD 7870 GHz and then with another so they'd run in CrossFire (the system underwent three motherboard changes; each motherboard being better than the last).
Isn't it weird that while playing Multiplayer on a game like CS 1.6 the experience would be sluggish with many players on an Intel HD 2000? The PSU was very good and the software installed on Windows was light and good; and since the 6770 resolved the problem (even before the i7-3770K came into view and the system ran on the Celeron G530), everything points to the HD 2000 as the main culprit of sluggish performance.
Do tell me your thoughts!
