Ok so I am about to RMA my EVGA gtx 660 because it is causing me BSOD's, or at least I think that's what is doing it. I am wondering what the Intel® HD Graphics 4600 on my 4690k (running at 3.5ghz) will be capable of running while I wait for the return card from my RMA. I only really want to be able to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 (since I refuse to play their latest shitfest games anymore) and SWTOR. That's really about it. I've got 8 gigs of ram fyi. Also I have an old EVGA Geforce GT520 lying around I could use, but I don't think it would be as good as what's onboard my cpu.

I know mine could play BF4 at lowest settings at 720p at 30fps so BC2 should run alright.

It's actually pretty solid.

Anything that's not too tough, so i play stuff like Civ 5 and war thunder.

 

Edit: I also play insurgency and CS:GO at 720p with butter smooth super high frame rates

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

It will run what you need no problem, if you are willing to turn down the settings a bit. It's not THAT bad.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Well since I'm on a 720p 30 inch tv, I probably won't notice lol. I just want to be able to get through one entire match on bfbc2 without BSODING DAMNIT lol

I even play on my Laptop with HD4000 graphics when I am away from home.

 

I just started playing "XCOM", I used to play "Orcs must die 2", Warframe was also ok.

Since the 4600 is more powerful it should be enough at 720p with low settings on quite a few titles.
