[β] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago (2 children) I wonder if my PC counts as low end by now. I reckon I got a few more years until then. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 child) Gamers think everything without a dedicated GPU is low end. I play games on Intel HD from 2018. Most work tolerably. I'm not switching until my laptop falls apart or it becomes fully obsolete (to slow to do my productivity tasks). It has a hyperthreaded quad-core. While it has less than half of the benchmark scores of modern PCs, it's still better than any used laptops you could get under 300β¬ (looking at you EU used hardware taxes (also, the taxes conveniently avoid the US ... How did that happen)). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children) I am a gamer and can confirm. For gaming, iGPU is objectively low-end. Doesn't mean, you can't play games on it. Current iGPUs are probably better than what games were made to run on two decades ago. I did have fun playing a selected set of games on an iGPU a decade ago. Dedicated GPUs just give you more pixels, more textures, more shader quality, more geometry, more FPS, and nowadays more AI inference capabilities. Some game genres profit a lot, some don't at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago* Factorio ClusterIO megabase with only an iGPU and a pile of rack servers for running all your instances - "Objectively low end" Its basically a CPU benchmark disguised as a game. permalink fedilink source parent [β] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 week ago The new Intel ARC iGPUs in the H series are actually great and in my opinion could compete with dGPUs.
