Do i even need a Dedicated Graphics Card on my Intel i5 7600?

Because it seem like Intel made the Integrated Graphics Card like you dont even need a dedicated one?

lol... as much as Intel would like you to believe that.... for anything remotely better than youtube and minesweeper... and at resolutions that down halve the resolution of the monitor to achieve that 30fps at 480p (on intels graphics) you're gonna want a dedicated GPU

If you use the computer for web browsing and office work then no you don't need a graphics card. Plants vs Zombies and Pogo games will be fine on the integrated graphics. If you plan on actual gaming though then a graphics card becomes necessary.

As an owner of an i5 7500 myself, I was actually surprised at the level of performance I got running on integrated graphics. I was able to play the following games comfortably (30+ FPS) at 1080p.

Warframe (Mostly High settings)
Rocket League (High)
Skyrim (Non-SE, Medium+)
Metro 2033 (Medium)
Crysis (Medium-High, 2xAA)


I'd estimate the HD630 slots between a GT740 and GT750 in terms of performance. What's more impressive is that these games ran as well as they did (very minor graphical glitches, no stutters) without even having an official driver from Intel yet. I imagine performance will improve once they release it. Skyrim SE has a texture issue that Intel is currently working on (a beta driver available on their site for their earlier iGPUs mentions it specifically).

Another thing, I recommend disabling some of the distracting eye-candy (Motion Blur, Depth of Field, Ambient Occlusion, etc.). Medium settings may not sound super ritzy but they look fine to me personally. At this point it's safe to say that Intel's integrated graphics are starting to become a serious choice for someone who may not be looking to game professionally or to play the latest AAA games and newest releases on launch day, but still wants to play a decent amount.

What do you want to do with your machine?

If you want to Fallout 4 on Utra settings with 60FPS you are going to need a serious graphics card. I can play Fallout 4 on medium, at 30 FPS with an i7-2600 with 12 GB ram and an AMD HD6770 video card. The new CPU integrated graphics will certainly let you play at that level, but don't expect anything better. And I don't think that rascal is "VR Ready"...
