Can I play csgo without a graphics card?

[Nikesbee]

I have a i5 2400 and 8gb ram. I don't have a graphics card. Would csgo or mine craft be playable on low settings?

No idea until you try, but do try.

maybe at 800x600? definatly 1080p. i had a friend overclock his CPU's everything including the IGPU of his I5 4690K and that could barely play CS:GO at 1080p at acceptable framerates

If it has at least the 4000 series of IGPU's, then yes, you can on low.

I play CSGO on medium on my i7 2.2GHz Macbook air.

Most likely. It is more of a cpu intensive game. I would get a gpu asap though if you want to have a better experiance. An rx570/560 will work well for you if you just want to play those titles.

Ugh no. You can play 720p low settings but that's about it. Tried it with my 2600k's on board. A 8600gts from 2007 is 30% faster. See in my signature, I got a review. 

Just get a cheap old gpu really. A gtx560ti should be 30bucks or so.

Minecraft of course lmao, CSGO maybe in the range of 20-50 fps, no idea.

I said I tested it. My results were, that my 2600k's igpu was in no way able to play csgo at 900p lowest settings. You don't want 20fps in cs, you want 200. Even 100 feels laggy.

i play csgo on lowest settings with a Pentium processor and intel hd graphics and get >40 fps on average. its not ideal but its good enough for some casual gameplay .

[Ertman]

If you stay on lower settings, you should be able to play it but you will see frame dips.

 

I used to be able to play csgo on an igpu with decent frame rates a couple of years ago, but enough updates since then has seen lower and lower fps.

I didn't try it but before when I have Intel Core 2 Duo PC then I play Counter Strike and it will work perfectly. I don't think so without graphic card csgo will give any issue because it's not a heavy game and now in Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 can share by default graphic from your RAM. My opinion friend without a graphic card you can play csgo without any issue.

My igpu is intel hd 530.I get over 70 fps on csgo at 720p.

If your going serious with CSGO, yes. My 60hz 900p monitor is bottlenecking a gt 610, imagine that. Cant wait for my new build lmao.

[Princess Luna]

I average 60fps on the most demanding maps using the i5 6200u iGPU 1366x768p lowest preset

[Humbug]

can. I tried on my 3770k. Was reasonable.

 

but you will be at a competitive disadvantage
