Hi all!
On this occasion I need advice on how to survive some dark times. I almost finished my build (i5-4590, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, CM Hyper 212 evo, Kingston Hyperx Savage 2x8gb), I only had to buy the GPU (a GTX 970, almost certainly the MSI 4GD5T OC edition simply because it's the only one sold in my country) so I figured I might as well build it and slip the card later. Well, some unforeseen family issues came up and now I'm forced to push back the purchase of the card for some weeks. In the meantime I'm stuck with Intel HD 4600 graphics. I know they are the crapest of craps, but I'll have to make do with it. Question is simple, what can I play in the meantime? I don't care about FPS that much, 30 will do (until some days ago I lived with a dual core PC) but I'd like it to run without abrupt stuttering.
Any recommendations are welcome! Oh and BTW, thanks to the community for helping me out during the buying process. Journey's almost done :)
Cheers!
 
If you have an old game that you haven't played in a long time(something like a civ game), that has good replay-ability, play that till the currency situation works out. Keep the graphics settings down low, make sure that you tweak windows to correspond with the lack of graphics muscle.
 
Battlefield 2 is fun and will play on anything. Most MOBAs don't need much GPU either. I hear you though, Intel's integrated graphics make me want to have some people over there fired. They should at least be as good as AMD's APU.
