Now hands up in the audience.

If you're still running Intel HD graphics, I thought so Now.

Sometimes it can be hard to choose what settings to use when it comes to wanting to play some of your favorite games.

When using an integrated solution such as this, the easiest thing to do is lower the resolution all the way down to say 7 20 p as well as tone all the endgame settings to their absolute lowest.

Now that while this is guaranteed to give you the best overall experience, you may find that the game doesn't exactly look all that great.

And if your integrated HD solution is still performing quite well, then it may be tempting to try and find a sort of middle ground that combines both performance with graphical fidelity.

This in itself can also prove quite challenging.

You might want to up setting slightly, but find that this makes your frame rate drops below 30 f.

P s.

If only there was some sort of tool that would tell you exactly what settings you needed to use.

If you're running a intel core, I serious process or using onboard H D graphics.

Well, it turns out there is, and it's been out for a couple of years now.

This is the gang play dot intel dot com website and here into will tell you exactly what setting you need to be able to run your favorite games at a smooth 30 frames per second minimum.

Simply put in your process of details.

All the details of the game you want to play on a few screen shops should come up detailing the settings that Intel recommend you use.

Now that sounds like a good idea, especially for those with Intel H D graphics in their system.

But immediately I noticed a couple of issues.

First of all, this only support until court I serious processes.

So those of you with a Pentium or Celeron and H D graphics can't really look up your favorite game or your process of here to determine which settings Intel think is best.

And second of all, I know that some games can be ran on my intel by 5 62 100 years CPU found in my budget Lenovo laptop here, but unfortunately, the website seems to tell me that settings for specific games are unavailable, which is a shame that being said, this tour seems like a pretty good idea for those of us who want a quick, an easy way to check whether or not our games will run.

So today I thought I'd check it out a little bit, using the aforementioned I 5 62 100 you in my laptop and see what sort of performance you can expect.

If we go with Intel's recommended settings for some of my favorite games, is the performance actually a playable one?

Or our intel overestimating what some of their core I series CP use conduce?

Well, let's get into it and take a look.

Now, of course, results will vary across different CP use and set up, so bear that in mind throughout.

Furthermore, nowhere does it state how much Ram Intel used in each situation on whether or not it was single or jewel channel.

Though this probably varied from system to system, my laptop for reference features eight gigabytes of single channel DDR four.

So does this tour help out while starting with skyrim and the site seems to recommend full HD resolution, which is good as well as a mix of settings.

After copying these to A T and jumping into the game, it seems we fell slightly short of 30 F p s averaging around the mid to low twenties throughout my half hour game play session.

A little disappointing, but a tour like this should always be used along with some common sense.

Onda, bumped down to 900 p, would certainly iron out most performance hiccups.

The next title I tried was left for dead two in the past.

I found this to be quite unpredictable, uncertain hardware, often doing either better or worse than I anticipated here into recommended 900 p with a mix of settings and after once again making sure everything in game was set as such, I jumped into a random level.

Three different ones, in fact, and combine the average from all of them averaging 43 F.

B S R systems certainly fared better here than in Sky Room, and it's important to note that I did in fact see a few frame drops to around 30 f.

P s, but not much lower.

So it seems this really was the perfect configuration to ensure we stayed above that threshold, you may be wondering why 60 FBS isn't the target for Intel settings.

My explanation would be an assumption, but I think it's because a lot, if not most, CP use on this list along with their eye.

GPU Solutions couldn't handle 60 even if everything was turned way down in most games.

And I think the purpose here was to provide a sensible balance between graphics and game play.

The dirt four recommended settings weren't too far reminiscent of the very low preset, and after making the changes, it seemed they paid off.

We averaged exactly 30 F.

P s here, a figure taken from a combined average calculated using frappes across three races.

Indifferent single player situations.

I have to say multi competitors events won't fare as well, but you should just be able to scrape by in this title.

What's funny is that this performs identically, nearly two duty a five.

Yet somehow that is apparently un supported by the 6200 you, according to Intel.

Maybe it's a case of not being tested with this particular trip, though.

Intel, if you are watching GT a fiver 7 20 p will average 29 f p s fine.

It was the turn of C.

S.

Cho.

The results were actually taken from the steam workshop benchmark map, which is very handy for anyone looking to test out their system on.

After matching the settings once again through the recommended ones, the average came back at 37 f.

P s.

Though there were some huge frame spikes as represented here.

This was down to the part of the benchmark that feels the display with smoke and smoke absolutely tanks performance.

Overall, I like the intel.

We're trying to help integrated GPU users by having the site readily available.

I also like the fact that has some decent indie titles on it, too, because they know you aren't going to be able to play.

All the Triple A release is out there.

That being said, there is room for improvement.

The ram used I either speed and configuration could be mentioned on the addition of Pentium and Celeron processes would be a welcome one, considering the popularity of chips like the G 45 60 it won't always give you perfectly playable results either, but it doesn't give you a decent base point toe work from like in Sky Room, where all that needed a change was the resolution to make it playable.

This is something I'd also love to see done by a M D as well, considering their wide range of AP use, including the new Athlon and Rise and Releases.

So there we have it.

I hope you've enjoyed this video.

It's been a little bit different.

But off the hearing about this little toll on the low end gaming Sabra, I just had to check it out for myself and see exactly what sort of experience we'd have if we matched in sales recommended settings.
