Playing BF4 on Intel HD 4600...

[Guest]

...right now actually. It is surprisingly playable at 720p, low settings, no AA and ~35fps. I call it console mode.

 

Seriously though, I am surprised that the integrated graphics are holding up with newer games. What else would be "playable" if we set the bar that low? Obviously all kinds of 2D games and older titles, but I'm talking about new games that are considered resource intensive. Also, I think this can be seen as a proof of concept for the people saying "you need a 1000USD PC to run modern games". You can "run" modern games with an i5 4670k and not much else, actually. Sorry if there have been lots of threads about the integrated graphics already, but this is the first time I'm actually trying to run modern games on them and it's a pretty interesting experience.

That's not bad

Kinda disgusting really that the intel HD4600 (Note: Not even AMD APU octo-core with On-Die R7 which is of course heaps stronger) can do this and then they dare call the Xbone and PS4 revolutionary and amazing in its performance.

Bioshock Infinite would be playable.

 

Watch Dogs wouldn't.

never mind didn't read op

Thats worse then Console

Bioshock Infinite would be playable.

 

Watch Dogs wouldn't.

Watch_Doges was never playable without the worse mod.

Fiddling around with a few more settings, but it seems that 1600x900 is still playable as well. It doesn't drop below 30FPS for the most part on 32 player servers. But I get some really weird variance when it comes to windowed mode, fullscreen and borderless.

Better than a 360 and the PS3. The integrated graphics of a 250$ CPU won't beat 400$ consoles that are sold at a loss, obviously.

I have a i5 2450M on my laptop that can play skyrim at medium with no problems.  It's the perfect travel computer.

Define playable. 30fps? No thanks.

Well, it IS revolutionary and amazing that it can run that poorly for what they charge lol. Also that they continue to convince millions of lemmings to by into it.

My school computer I just got has an 4700MQ and a 730M, it's adequate for playing many games, like Portal 2 in 1080, high settings, 60fps.

Touché good sir. Well föcking played.

You have to set lower standards in console mode.

 

Playable for me is High Details 40-60 FPS via GeForce Experience

I'm laughing way too hard at this right now.

 

Anyway, BF4 is being stupid and not going into fullscreen mode right now and it seems that borderless basically halfs my framerate. 1440x900 is still 100% acceptable for console mode, but 1600x900 gets too stuttery for me, and if you want that "cinematic look" on BF4 you can go 1080p 24FPS without a problem.

By the way, how do the integrated graphics on mobile CPUs compare to the HD4600? Someone recently asked me if they could play games on a mobile i3 with the iGPU, I think that's the HD4000. From the benchmarks I found it seems like older games are still playable on that.

Theyre "meh."  I can do older games great, and most indie games aswell.  Games like bioshock infinite and skyrim and some other games that don't require beefy computers play nicely on low/medium at 720p.

[PirateCoffee]

That's not bad.

 

I'll be using integrated untli the 870 comes out.

Good to know, it's mostly CSS and CS 1.6 and a few newer games, I guess that should run fine.

I'm waiting for my R9 290, should be here in a few days. Playing around with the iGPU is pretty fun, but I really wouldn't want to be stuck with it for too long, especially since I can only run 2 monitors from it.

i build my pc in september, but have to wait till november for my 780ti, but i to will be using the hd4600. I can honestly say i cant qait to play some games on the hd4600, ive watched many vids on youtube and it handles plenty of games.

titanfall 30-40 fps on medium settings, borderlands 2 30fps on high.....it's all good.

[JustTooDank]

If you really want to increase your FPS, turn down the Resolution Scaling. I was able to play with an HD4000 while I was saving for my 780

Are you talking about the Xbox One? because it runs Battlefield 4 at 60ish FPS

[Archangel1994]

At 720p you dirty console peasant . HD4600 can run it @ 30 on 1080p and it's not even an APU.

 

Jk, not everyone wants to play on PC .

Lol, I just paid $500 for a gaming PC (Same price as Xbone at the time, and BF4 runs amazing.) 50+ FPS! And it is stupid that they charge so much for a shitty piece of garbage.
