Wait, what? You're the one who said an i3 would have sufficient integrated graphics.

Half of the ones I posted has AMD APUs in them. Were they not good enough either?

That's true, I forgot to look at used ones, but I'm not sure he has the ability (car, cell phone, parent with sufficient free time) to even attempt to purchase something off Craigslist.

I originally had high hopes for integrated graphics, but that was me thinking of CS:GO 2 years ago when it was easier to run. Nonetheless, here are a couple vids of i3 integrated performance.



If the settings are turned down a little bit, even lower resolution, it becomes viable, but only for i3s equal or better to the 6100.

And as I said, yes those APUs are old AMD APUs and are not worth considering. They're becoming quite dated.

With low setting on my CPU 6700k you can easily maintain over 100 fps on integrated.

Ooooo I forgot about lower resolutions honestly. I'm thinking 1920x1080. 1080p I barely get 150 consistent FPS with my GTX 960. So I was thinking no gpu would be a no go in that instance.

If you can underclock your 6700k and limit it to 2cores/4threads, then that would be a good comparison.

The clock speed combined with twice the threads gives integrated i7 graphics an advantage over i3's.

I only get 28 fps on my 2700

Google just offered to translate these posts for me.

Thanks Google.
