Specs:

Intel 6700k @ 4.0Ghz

Intel HD 530

GIGABYTE B150M-D3H

8GB DDR4 2400Mhz

I tried running Far cry 4 (Low settings) and get the following results:

Avg FPS: 21.917

Min FPS: 14

Max FPS: 30

But some guys on youtube are getting pretty decent FPS. Here

These videos boast builds with 16GB RAM. Recommended RAM for this game is 8GB. So, I don't think that not having 16GB RAM is causing the FPS drop

And this guy, having the same build as mine, except his RAM is dual channeled.

Does Dual Channeling really makes such a big difference? If it does, why are the first two videos showing higher FPS even though the RAM is single channeled?

BTW, I am planning on buying Nvidia GTX 1070; but, right now, I don't have the budget. So I am going to stick with the Integrated GPU for a month or two.
 
Don't trust you tube firstly. Secondly, I skipped along the vid and saw anything from 18 to 35. You are jn the right ballpark. I wouldn't game on a hd530 and certainly wouldn't waste money on a new game. Fast shooters are awful on anything under 60fps locked imo

I am waiting for Nvidia 1070 to become available in my country.
I was thinking if I could get some more FPS out of intel HD 530; just enough to raise the minimum FPS close to 20.
