How good are Intel's iGPUs?
Uncertain if this fits the right place, but could be. Current Intel iGPUs seem to handle performance adequately—expect solid results for 1080p at around 45 frames per second without needing high-end specs.
When running 10-year-old games on the simplest settings, that works.
Depends on the title, but the latest Xe iGPUs are quite notable. For older titles they perform adequately at 1080p (on a laptop iGPU), and they can manage some newer games as well. When compared to AMD's current offerings, they outperform in many scenarios and hold their own in others. Don't anticipate the best, but they're significantly better than previous generations. Edit: Based on other discussions, I need to specify that I'm referring to mobile iGPUs with higher execution units, using insights from the i7-1165G7 reviews.
The desktop integrated graphics are generally average for gaming when compared to AMD options. However, the Xe integrated graphics found in mobile GPUs perform well, typically handling most games smoothly at 900p to 1080p with frame rates around 30 to 45 frames per second.
Depends on the specific GPU and game. HD 630 class graphics handled well in 2013 and earlier at 1080p lower resolutions, but newer titles require 1080p or higher. Xe class graphics keep performance steady around 1080p 30fps even with low settings.
