hi

i read here :

that the integrated graphics on my cpu is not that weak and that it can run some games , my question is , i don' t really know how it works if it's just the cpu or the motherboard matters too ; i have an i5 6600K on a gigabyte gaming 3 z170x mainboard , i tried enabling the onboard graphics (intel hd 530) but it seems to be really weak i can't really play games like advanced warfare or black ops 3 with it ,

in advanced warfare it shows my dedicated graphics memory at 128 mb's , but still i see on youtube or elsewhere people playing demanding games like the GTA V with it , so it my motherboard that is somehow bottlenecking the processor's integrated graphics or is it something else i need to do ?
i 've already tried tweaking some BIOS features like setting the vram to max and so forth but to no avail

i ask this question cause i've got an old r9 270x gpu and it's really starting to bother me in new games and i currently don't posses enough money to get a decent dedicated gpu 🙁

can you help me with this please ?

thanks in advance

Hello... IGT will handle typical 1080P internet streaming well... if ya wanna game you need a EXT 3D GPU... it works great for a typical multi-monitor office Task display too. Your r9 270x is better to use for your purpose at this time.

The R9 270x is more powerful than the integrated graphics in your PC, and GPU memory is faster than the system memory that your integrated graphics uses.

HD 530 is around an R7 370 or GT 740 in power, both not as powerful as the R9 270X.

270X is much better than your integrated graphics.

then why do they say they can run open world games like the GTA V on the integrated graphics like mine ?

It should work, there are even ways using overclock utilities to overclock it. I'm not sure what the issue is but why bother if you have an R9 270X to use, it will blow it away in performance.
