I'm planning on getting a laptop that only has an i7 with no graphics card. I also play games such as Rainbow Six: Siege, PUBG, and BF4. But I mainly play siege. Is it possible to play games at a decent quality and fps? And if possible, how much frames would I get?

Intel HD graphics 620 aren't that good for gaming, you will get just under 30 frames on 1080p on low settings, so can it game? Sure but not very well, also which i7? Are we talking about HD 620? 530? Ect. 620 is the latest, and it gets around 30 on low...

The model of i7 is irrelevant, regardless it is using some form of integrated graphics. Most likely less powerful than usual being a mobile processor. I cannot see Pubg being any bit of playable without some form of dedicated GPU with how horribly optimized it is. BF4 possibly being playable but I'm doubtful in a full lobby, and Rainbow Six: Siege being the most playable. And by most playable I mean 20-30 FPS. And that's at 720P. I really would not recommend in any circumstance Intel on-board graphics for anything other than YouTube. Hell, I personally am against gaming on a laptop in general due to how quickly hardware (Mainly graphics cards) Improve, and the lack of upgrade path with a laptop. It will cost you more money in the grand scheme.

How is the Multiplayer though? In a full lobby do you drop frames?
 


I am not suggesting he should do so, just simply answered his questions and himself can decide.

@ OP
how much do you pay for the laptop and detailed specs please. Any other reasons why you need I7? I5 + any GPU will do better than this IGPU :)

I understand that but you worded it like the video was yours so I was personally curious if you knew if there was a difference between SP and MP.
