- It's easy to appreciate how far modern integrated graphics have come, but it's also easy to forget about how things used to be. Today, we're looking at the i7 7700K, and how well it's integrated HD 630 graphics are holding up in 2024...

You're doing the Lord's work showing budget gamers what's possible.
actual budget gamers, cause some people take ''budget'' to another level.
on god @@Burago2k
@@Burago2k budget can range anywhere from $200-600. It just depends on if you yourself are fine with either 2nd hand parts or just arent confident enough to build a PC.
Modern Intel integrated graphics sucks for gaming... So the one from seven year's ago are bad for gaming. So bad that if that is someones option just go buy something else to play on... Pointless IMHO.
budget gamers use rtx 3060 ,gamers with intel uhd 630 is junk gamers
Ah! My eyes! My poor, innocent eyes!
😂
You can never unsee that now...
Your eyes are blessed now.
Wdym these graphics are pretty good
its crazy I used to game on i3 6100 with the integrated graphics, I had to put gta 5 on 800x600 to get decent fps.
But I think the worst thing I did was upgrading to a gt 710, I overclocked every single drop that gpu had, after which I could play gta 5 on 1080p 50 fps
I used to play on core 2 duo no gpu
I had a core 2 duo e6600 and a gtx 560 ti, poor CPU was chugging and stuttering at 45fps, gpu usage was less than 50% at medium high settings lool.
I didn't know a gt 710 was actually an upgrade over a 6th gen igpu so... I learned something today :D
lol wtf why would you do this, nowadays you can just get a steamdeck for like 300 quid which is near on par with a 1050
@@limpa756 Obviously he did this years ago man do u think he would get an i3 6100 for gaming in 2024
That RDR2 giving the retro CRT tv experience tho. Nice!
LOL, I still run a CRT on the PC I game with predominantly... however, I have adapters and a graphics card ;)
@@grimmpickins2559I have a CRT still myself. Always on the hunt for more. Especially a CRT monitor. As I have one of the worst HD CRT TV’s ever made, the Sanyo HT30746. I’d love to get my hands on a Sony Trinitron GDM-FW900. I’ve wanted one since I saw one in person at a Circuit City
gonna have to comeback to this video one day when amd releases it 120 w strix point apu. kinda see how far we've come with integrated graphics.
Yeah for sure! I’m looking forward to seeing how iGPUs progress even further
i love seeing APUs compared to old GPUs, they don't always go that far back
@@bradhaines3142 I'm running a GTX 1650 4GB and it's not gonna be long now until an APU passes that.
mid to late 2010's gaming at 1080p max will be entirely possible on just an APU (the 1650 does it; Deus Ex Mankind Divided and Nier Automata at 1080p max are no problem).
@@deanchur thats already what the laptop APUs are at, id imagine desktop are past it already. though i heard not as much as youd expect
Videos like this make me grateful to have a PC with an actual graphics card 🙏
Yep, my 1660 Super seems indeed pretty super right about now
This made him RandomGaming260P
I'm surprised these games even open..
Baldurs gate really shocked me. That game sends my (admittedly shit) laptop into orbit.
Helldivers 2 aswell, despide a bad game its still suprising.
@@AntiGrieferGameshelldivers 2 is bad now? As in bad to run or just a bad game? I've personally enjoyed it thus far, am I missing something....
@@theminec its a bad game, because of the sony anti consumer measures like psn requirement.
@@AntiGrieferGames doesn't have anything to do with the game being bad or not lol, plus the psn requirement is out of the picture now

I played all of Fallout 3 (around 2015, this was), and most of New Vegas on a Thinkpad with an i7-2670QM and its integrated HD Graphics 3000.
It wasn't the absolute best performance, but heck, I had so much fun.
i remember fallout on the hd 3000 graphics it was still better than ps3🤷🏽
I just bought a 7700K for an aging 7th gen system for my mum, just to get it on its feet again, cost me about 100$ new. Was really curious what it was capable of, thanks again mate
I played most of Oblivion at 800x600. Then I got the best card on the market at the time, the HD 1950 XT. I was able to bump it up to max everything at 1280 x 1024 and what a treat that was!
I was excpeting alot worse on this igpu. Glad that one is still holds up.
Even a entry haswell igpu still holds up and thats the most suprising results i ever see.
these graphics caused me so much anguish when i got my first brand new laptop around 2015, it was so bad that i can actually credit them with sparking my interest in computers and computer hardware as i couldnt stop dreaming of one day being able to get a decent gpu to finally allow me to play decently new games on anything more than 800x600 with unplayable framerates on the lowest settings.
its depressing that kingdom come never got dlss
Perhaps KCD2 will though? 🤞
Most definitely the team size has doubled and budget is double 2 its gonna have all the latest stuff@@kasimirdenhertog3516
I survived 3 years on Intel HD 630 until I managed to get an rx 6700 xt and a ryzen 5 7600x, good old times.
Same, i5-7500/HD 630 for 4 years until I added a GT 1030. Lenovo office prebuilts with 180w power supplies suck balls.
@@MoultrieGeek great budget option
😂😂😂 you are from Zimbabwe?
@@Rebe-Caufmanin people's life sometimes happens some shit, not everyone grew up with a golden spoon in their mouth.
People give the GT1030 so much hate. It packs a pretty good punch for its price. I had one as my first real gpu
Big fan mate been watching since 2018 love ur content ❤
looks pretty capable , nice video , keep it up
I built a gaming rig with a i7 7700K back in January 2017! I used that until 2021 but still have it in another case for college and do still play games on it sometimes. I use a Ryzen 7 5800x paired with a 3060 but was a 1070 when upgraded back in 2021. Upgraded to the 3060 back in early 2023. The 7700K still holds up except for its integrated graphics hd 630 since intel just killed support for it back in march. Great Video and keep up the good work. For red dead redemption 2, see if you have the latest driver from intel. It could be an outdated driver causing it to crash.
something about kingdom come deliverance at 800x600 is a vibe
Looks like morrowind lol
This really takes me back to holiday break in 2017 when I left all my gaming kit at college so I could go be with my parents for awhile. Only “gaming” I could do was on my HP Pavilion 17 that had a dual-core i7 and the HD graphics onboard. I managed to start a New Vegas run and connect it to my 1360X768 TV and proceeded to have a blast with an old wired 360 controller. It has endured as one of my favorite gaming memories funnily enough, even though I was barely eking out 30-40fps on average.
My living room PC / wife's PC runs my old 7700k with a 980. Not the most efficient but man does it still work. Love seeing the 7700k in your recent videos I have a lot of good memories with that chip
I've been using the iGPU in the Ryzen 5600G to play some VR games on my Quest 3 lately. It was laggy at first, but once I figured out how to lower the resolution per eye in the Steam VR settings, it's actually surprisingly playable. I am able to play Beat Saber and The Lab just fine. Crazy how far integrated graphics have come.
Love, how those igpu solutions are still performing, comparing that to what we had around 15 - 20 years ago as "onboard" gpu solutions... but heck, we had the geforce 6100 onboard, the HD3100, the intel GMA 950, for some time, they gave us some joy, at least with older games
and today... there are more options, that has more performance (for every budget, there is a viable choice) and more games to chose to play, from the past 40+ years (Steam has a huge library, and others too,. and not to think of emulation).
And that is actually a good thing (if you wonder, i recommend, looking into linux, it's worth it nowadays, especially for somer older and/or slower pc's).
oh shit! I was literally just looking to upgrade one of my old PCs with this processor and I was curious about the intergrated graphics. (I'll be sticking a pci powered only card in it at some point)
I messed around with a 4550-ish )I can't remember which one exactly) and the integrated graphics actually surprised me, so I was keen to see if there was much improvement and... err... can't tell. Completely different games. But now I'm excited to try it :D
Integrated graphics,always interesting videos,imo.Nice video man.
It's crazy how many fps you got on Minecraft! I could hardly get 30fps on the old family pc back in the day haha
If you think those numbers are bad, I did play around 60% of Twilight Princess running Dolphin on a AMD C60 CPU which has a Radeon HD 6290 iGPU. The CPU and GPU combo could only play the game at maybe 7.5 FPS.
you must be crazy to game like that..
@@groenevinger3893 Well, "poor" would be more appropriate.
Good review as always, this cpu and older graphics card would make a great retro pc, or a good sleeper pc 😀
yeah with a GPU it would still be a great Gaming PC, adding a GTX1060/1660Ti or RX580/5600XT you would be able to play so many great games at at least 1080p/60fps
For some reasons, i was played ARK Survival Evolved with i5 7500 and Intel HD Graphics 630 at 1080p lowest settings at about 30-40fps. (But you must using at least 16GB and Dual Channel RAM)
This channel is starting to get very interesting! It was interesting before but this bargain ware run has been a lot of fun to watch.
Would be interesting to see the figures of this test compared to 12th gen Intel integrated graphics
This is super surprising, I took home an older machine from my company with a 7700k and it is now employed as my media server. Great vid as always! :)
Why don't you say it's now working as my media server instead of employed as my media server. 💀💀💀
@@FloatSamplesGT710 they mean the same thing lol? Employed is less words than working as?
Reminds me off the old Quake days on my Cryix P75 equivalent pc. GLORIUS!
We went from these static I GPUs to the APUs in the PS5 and Xbox. The APUs in all of the handhelds today. And the IGPUs is the 5600 g and so on. Insane.
Thanks for doing this. The newest generation computer i own is a laptop with a UHD 630. Least i now know to limit my gaming expectations. The thing that suprised me was The Witcher 3. I didnt even think it was possible! So thanks!
thanks for the review mate!
My old system was a gigabyte 3070 (upgraded from a trusty old palit windforce 980ti) paired with a 7700k and 16gb of ddr4 and to be honest it ran a lot if modern titles really well, it was more when i ztarted chucking mental raytracing in on modern titles that frames started tanking... Am now on a 13900k with a 4080 and all is well.
Keep up the good content mladdo
I used to play on an old Toshiba laptop from 2013 with an Intel Celeron (1037U) which was far worse than this and then had an office pc with an i3 6100T (later upgraded to an i7 6700) and played a lot of games in 800x600. Crazy thing is I still feel anxious how a game runs even with my now 11700k + 3060ti.
KCD & BG3 are looking really nice nostalgic! :D
I've tested the UHD 630 , it's really not a big difference.
Another great vid, thanks for it! These integrated GPUs are getting pretty reasonable these Days.
That you got games to run at all is surprising, I remember trying to do this on an i7-2700K and the results were hilariously bad.
My HD530 on the i5-6600 ran Crysis when I first built in 2016.
This was a year before I got the 1050Ti.
You should test the last gen Intel UHD Graphics. I'm curious to see if the improvement was big, because these recent Intel iGPUs are based on Iris Xe architecture (and I have a laptop with this last gen UHD Graphics, 16 EUs version).
I have a Huawei Matebook D laptop with the 15 watt version of the Ryzen 2500U with integrated Vega 8 graphics I purchased at Walmart in 2018 for $400. Despite its budget price, this laptop actually came with dual channel memory which is optimal for the Vega 8. Vega 8 integrated graphics were much better than the HD 630 integrated graphics I had before in another laptop.
Hi Bro, I have an Asus vivobook 14 laying around with an Intel i5 11th gen and a 2gb MX 330.... I don't use It for gaming, but I wonder how It would perform in older titles.....
When KCD first came out I was playing it on my gtx 1050 with 30fps/720p lowest settings. And since I was using a HDD textures were popping everywhere. That was kind of funny to experience tbh.
You should test the UHD 730 and 770. I recently bought an i5-11400T PC and it can play older games at 2048x1152 with good framerates. Half Life 2 Lost Coast I was getting around 90 max settings at 1440p! The UHD 7xx graphics are based on the Intel Xe architecture so a significant step up. More than twice as powerful as an Xbox 360 GPU with more than double the memory bandwidth if you have decent emmory (1Rx8 3200 Mhz dual-channel).
Got my hands on HP250 G6 with I7-7500U which has HD 620 and one(yikes) 8gb stick of DDR4 2133. Been tinkering around with it and (repaste done and undervolting shows great results) and it even has M.2 SSD. Found out that without dual channel RAM you lose like 30-40% of the iPGU performance so gonna keep my eyes open for 8GB DDR4 2133MHz sticks because that's the only spec it is gonna take :D
This CPU is a part of a desktop I built for my younger brother. I've been playing Fallout 4 and Helldivers 2 since I built my new desktop, so I'm very happy to see it here. Thank you for reviewing this product🌹
😂😂😂
I bought a mini pc with i5 7500T for cheap, to setup an emulation box. The HD 630 graphics at 720p are actually pretty capable for a lot of non-AAA titles. Unreal engine 4 titles are playable. I'm even running switch emulation at full speed.
It's critical to get two sticks of ram running dual channel, as that doubles the bandwidth for the igpu. (+10-20% fps) Also make sure that Windows is hard-outputting 720p rather than scaling to your target resolution.
I used to remember playing games like this on my laptop back in the days when I was 13-15. Those days were something else.....
I use the UHD 630 graphics to game on my laptop (inspiron 7390-2-in-1) with an i3-8350u. It handles alot of games surprisingly well. I played metro 2033/last light at 900p 45~55ish fps, medium settings. It looked great and i played the whole story for the first time. My main pc is more powerful but i like to have that portability too and it honestly suprises me alot what my laptop can run.
Just for note, it also runs
Civilization 6, company of heroes 2,
Skyrim LE, project zomboid,
bioshock remastered 1/2/inf
Fallout 3/NV
(high settings not quite ultra)
a, throwback to i5-2500T and i5-3330 integrated graphics
Try some onboard beast like ATI HD 3000 😀
Older hardware rocks! My i7 2600 stock system more or less works as well for everyday tasks as my Ryzen system, whilst using less power.
There was a time when this resolution was premium. The only thing better was 1024 x 748. Fun fact: 800x600 through 1280 x 1024 is considered SVGA (Super VGA). I remember the old commercials for PC part fairs at the local coliseum. Super VGA A A A...CD ROOOOOOM...It sounded like they were advertising monster truck rallies or WWF wrestling.
Watch the video at 144p for true potato experience
My Laptop has this graphics chip paired with an i7 7200u, limited to 15w TDP and only single channel RAM. Thats basically my retro machine now, started to play the original Far Cry.
You should think of these underpowered GPUs not in a way that new games only run on minimal settings, but in a way that you just install games from the PS2/early PS3 era, because 99% of them will run absolutely flawless in the native resolution, most even with high settings.
please do a video on cor2duo e7500. with max upgrade as it can get.
My laptop has an i5-6200U with Intel 520 graphics and it can run games like Fallout 4 on low with less than 30 FPS depending on performance mods used, I use one or two and my average is about 14 FPS. I mostly play New Vegas anyways and have it running on high with about 40 FPS at 720p since the display size is only 1366p x 768p. I would say that the Intel 630 graphics would be a large improvement over the 520, I wish had it.
This video makes me wonder how architecture could affect performance. I think Tenth Gen Intel also used UHD 630, what would be the performance difference between the eighth gen intel core I3 or I5 and its Tenth Gen counterpart if they both had the same number of Theads?
What integrated graphics can do has interested me because I almost started gaming on an integrated graphics machine and just being interested in Budget setups in general. As a religious person I thank God for the timing, when I decided, I was done waiting and was going to build a computer in Fall 2021, one of my friends had an extra gpu and was like you want a 1070 for $100?
Just as a suggestion, have you tried turning up the brightness, that's what I do to avoid having to mess with in Post. I try to record during the day in game, but sometimes the timing is off.
My Iris 655 Plus (NUC8i5BEK) runs basically anything, even Alan Wake 2 (albeit in white & red colours). Also Cyberpunk runs @ 15-30fps. Also Plague Tale 2 (in red colours). Only 2 games that I couldn't launch are Talos 2 & Last of Us Part 1 (says that I don't have dx12 although it has 12.1 hardware level). It runs Asscreed Origins/Odyssey, Baldurs Gate 3, Metro Exodus, Syberia 4 (heavy Unity crap), Jagged Alliance 3, Control, KCD, Mafia Definitive, SotTR, RotTR, NFS Heat, RDR2, Subnautica (heavy Unity crap), Witcher 3 next-gen, Detroit Became Human, Martha is Dead etc. Also, there is this frame-interp tool LSFG, maybe could be useful.
That intro made me think you were going to start reminiscing on the days when "we didn't have this new fangled FSR... we just had to go into the .ini files and set the resolution to 640x480!"
Maybe that was just me that used to do that though.
Rather than trying to use the HD 630 for gaming, it does a lot better as the basis of a media server. The difference in transcoding between the HD 530 in 6th Gen and 630 on 7th Gen is that the 530 will only do up to h264 and SDR at best, where the 630 can do x265/HEVC and 10-bit HDR. Of course, the newer Arc cards are transcode champions with AV1 support as well, but that's only a marginal improvement right now (besides the Arc GPUs will only really justify themselves through the many video streams you can use all at once)
Bet I could get it running the latest Resident Evil
I recently swapped out my i5-6500 for an i7-6700 which has Intel HD 530 Graphics. According to Intel's own site, there's no difference between 530 and 630. Exact same specs across the board. Kinda nice knowing I could still play a few games in case my 1050 Ti takes a dirt nap.
Should add the baseline of the Current Gen Intel iGPUs to compare then and now with the same settings.
The UHD 630 is best fit for Quicksync stuff. Helps quite a bit. Even in Premiere Pro.
As for gaming, there's almost no point trying these new games, plenty of great stuff from the past, like Sacred, Dragon Age Origins, Witcher etc. They should run half-decently I think.
The 7700K will run at 5GHz quite easily, especially if you delid it, and it will stay cool too, in the 50s-70s in full usage, depending on ambient and case. Still, more than a 3060 for it is overkill.
I appreciate intel for quicksync, I can use obs to record with 1080p 60fps without impacting too much of performance hit
Im talking about if you have dgpu and igpu
This is not uhd 630, just hd 630
In a way it's magical to play with this resolution and minimum graphics
The GPU for Word and Excel can do gaming as well.
Good video. Would appreciate it if u added valorant to the benchmarks.
my first graphics card was a 512 mb card from 2010 an with a slight overclock i was able to play fo4
1:50 Not sure if it's better or worse than the Switch version lol. Haven't tried it yet on the Switch but I doubt I'll ever get it there as well, it's more of a surprise that even runs there but definitely not the best experience
I’m quite surprised how well it runs and how okay it looks… though I am viewing this on my phone!
I’ve seen a lot worse, but then I’ve been gaming since the mid-80s…
Considering it's 7yr old integrated graphics, not bad. Also quicksync still punches above it's weight with decent quality output making these older machines great for NAS/Media server duty. No AV1 support but that hardly matters for most users with only a couple clients.
what gpu do we plan on using? Could you use something like a GTX 1660 super or the likes?
Sad that the laptops what come with that chip are always limited by tdp :(
I remember when my gtx 1070 died and i used my hd 630 while waiting for the RMA to process.
I remember this potatoness
5:04 I've never played Helldivers 2 but I can imagine it wasn't intended to have worse graphics than a PlayStation 1.
I have a Gtx1060 laptop, but I play mostly on an optiplex micro pc with this, lol.
This runs better than my throttling 865M back in the day after 5 minutes of gameplay.
If HD 630 graphics are your only option right now then google the "top 10 games of the year" from say 2008-2016. A lot of older games can play at much higher settings that won't give you a headache.
What graphics card are you paring this with i had an i7 6700k with a rtx 2060 super perfect for warzone and apex Fortnite was terrible tho i dont play fortnite tho
This is way faster than my Intel 4600. Nice.
This igpu is still good. It can hw AV1. On i7 laptop is still ok
Got Baldur's Gate 3 looking like Runescape... I'm kinda into it.
Also, shocked you can get Kingdom Come... "playable." If you were someone with absolutely no other hardware options and *really* liked the game, that's an interesting one to be able to get chugging.
KCD at that res kinda worked, as if it was an oblivion era game or something.
Finally a video which resonates with my gaming experience...
you should go back and test the Athlon 3000g again for 2024!
I miss the Twitter Kingdom Come Deliverance PR situation. I used to joke with that guy non stop it was fun.
4:17 It's supposed to be an approximation of the color the setting sun would cast on everything. It's an iGPU, ya know?
my 1050tis dead after a rat shat on it somehow, now the integrated graphics on my pentium g4560 is the only hope till i see the best time to make a mew build from scratch
I love these videos. Although they will run, many of them will not look good enough for my minimum requirements, and that is nice to know.
But... There is something that I do not understand. How can 0.1% low or 1% low for that matter be lower than minimum framerate? That is super confusing to me. Maybe you don't show results for the same interval of data or something? I would have expected minimum to be the lowest, but some might be ms converted to FPS and others might be the actual number of frames over a second. But it is a little confusing. 3:00 shows minimum as 49.7 and 0.1/1% low as 31.1/40.1, but it is similar for other games in the video.
the suspense of "will it run" is a good time
Please test Intel UHD 730.
Vibe on this ones a bit off. You good mate?
Next up, you should compare the 7700k's igpu with the Ryzen 7 8700G igpu just to see how far technology has come
Yp
That is not comparing how far iGPUs have come - that is comparing an iGPU who's purpose is being basically a display-adapter against an iGPU that is designed to be a GPU replacement.
Sadly while intel does make stronger iGPUs as well they are not available for desktop or the processors where people would like to have them.
@ABaumstumpf bruh, u don't understand. The 8700g igpu is still technology. I just said a cool concept
I used to play World of Tanks Blitz on Dual Core from 2008 iGPU and because it was a "mobile" game, it run very well on medium settings. UHD 630 should be way better compared to these, so some games are more than playable :DDD
I use the iGPU from the i5-8365U quite a long time... Intel UHD 620 was not that bad, I even played GTA 4 on it.. Was it good? No But it worked and I enjoyed it... I would say I enjoyed it more than now with a dedicadet GPU and a PC
