Intel graphics good enough.

kunthakenthe · Oct 14, 2014

Will intel graphics play

world of tanks
planetside 2
other free to play games

medium, no filter, 40fps

im thinking of a build like this

i5 broadwell
hero
ram
h440/something else
antec/evga 850w/1000w
monitor
dvd
mouse,keyboard,etc

now this should come to 600$/700$ i can use this christmas/black friday with deals(i might win a 980 to if im lucky)

I will be saving up for these upgrades

dual monitors( should i, anyone with experience on dual monitors can you explain how good these are)
r9 390x/380x or cfx of r9 380x/390x
custom waterloop.

will the intel graphics suffice i wanted a apu since they have great on board gpu's and will get better with HBM, but i needed power from a intel cpu.

World of tanks you should be able to play at low to medium settings and get at least 30 fps. As for planetside 2 I highly doubt it. I had to run it at the lowest settings possible at 720 in order to get 40 fps. I was using an a10 5700 by the way. Team fortress, killing floor and left 4 dead should all sadly run at at least 30 fps no problem.

Be able to* no idea how my phone auto corrected that to sadly.

I don't know about world of tanks, but intel 4000 graphics will definitely not run planetside 2. My 555m on my laptop barely does.

Second - Why a 850-1000w setup? That seems a bit extreme for your your average nonoverclock, non SLI build. You could take the extra cash and put it into something else.

This build will run planetside 2 on high, ultra settings with no filters If you want to upgrade to an i5 in the future, you could replace the FX with an i3.

Indys build looks good. If you really want an i5 though you could buy a cheaper GPU like a r9 250x or a gtx 650 and put the extra cash towards an i5.

kunthakenthe · Oct 15, 2014

to clarify, I will be overclocking and the 850/1000w psu is for upgrading toa r9 390x and with a future cfx.

StormyIV · Oct 15, 2014

So basically to answer your question yes Intels integrated graphics will be able to play some games at 720 with low settings for the time being. Although the r9 300 series won't be out for a few months you could always buy an r7 250 and use it for now and a back gpu in case you ever need it.

r7 250: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-1050MHz-Graphics-R7250AZNF4/dp/B00FQIXQHA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1413429093&sr=8-3&keywords=r7+250

kunthakenthe · Oct 15, 2014

any gpu under 60$. I would like that.

StormyIV · Oct 15, 2014

Would you consider buying a used one?

StormyIV · Oct 15, 2014

What about this? My friend has the same card and he can play most games at medium settings at 1080p. http://m.ebay.com/itm/191368177257?nav=SEARCH

sla70r · Oct 15, 2014

To be quite honest I would play intel and save up like 130 and get a 750 ti . I think you will want one and the longer it takes to save the more you will appreciate having it lol.

StormyIV · Oct 15, 2014

He plans on buying 2 390xs when the release so no point in spending too much money on a gpu that's being replaced in 3 months.

StormyIV :

My mistake, I agree 100 %. Listen to this guy.....

IndyAJD · Oct 16, 2014

I understand now. Well, a 650 will run planetside 2 maxxed out at around 30 fps, so it should run it well on medium-high. A 650 is currently going for $60 on bestbuy, which is an amazing deal. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-geforce-gtx-650-1gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card/6820308.p?id=1218808241974&ref=199&loc=8BacdVP0GFs&acampID=1&siteID=8BacdVP0GFs-2S74w.4tYsPNC9JKzw8g8A

IndyAJD · Oct 16, 2014

Heh, I just realized I recommended the exact same thing as Storm.

StormyIV · Oct 16, 2014

Great minds think alike. But seriously a gtx 650 for 60 bucks is an awesome buy.

kunthakenthe · Oct 16, 2014

thank you guys i will be buying a lot of this stuff black friday so i will get some great deals. i would buy used or that 650(i want my system to be new but a hold over gpu will be okay) and yes i will be sporting a 390x or 390x cfx(dont know yet if i add 8gb of ram, dual monitor and a r9 390x it will be a single card, then a r9 390x cfx and water cooling loop boy and i will give away the 650 or sell it(if the resell is less than 40$ then i will give it you guys and give everyone on this thread like 5 bonus entries or something and you guys can do whatever you want with it)

StormyIV · Oct 16, 2014

No problem man always glad to help! Good luck with your build!

kunthakenthe · Oct 16, 2014
