DayZ and integrated graphics

[carolkarine]

so my GPU died. I can't afford a new one, so I'm trying to figure out what I can still play. my options are really old games and source, ATM. would dayz be an option? it's a social game for me so running it at shitty settings while I save money is okay.

[Deletive]

The mod maybe... but stand alone probably not. 

Since it's arguable dead. throw it in the oven

[Guest Kloaked]

Lol, no.

 

 

DayZ will probably give you a message like "lol u wot m8"

[Fate]

I've actually had experience running this game with a 3570k and HD4k, it IS runnable. I believe I had about 30fps consistently at 1080p.

Some games do not support igpu.

I think you have to try and run the game on your igpu first. If it runs then you can play with the graphics settings a lil bit and can get a playable experience on a very low resolution.

And may i know which igpu you have?

[Asgarth]

Just try DayZ to see if it works and if not just play some older games/ indie games, maybe even try some emulators if you want.

Refer to my profile picture... That'll be DayZ's response...

are you joking? I read somewhere that putting a gpu in a 100C oven can bring it back to life.

nah since you don't really lose much it might be worth a try.

[SovietOnion]

How old is the GPU?

[SeanBond]

Tried it when I was without my gpu for a good bit. Unplayable. And my Igpu is a good deal stronger than yours. 

[SeanBond]

It's worth a try.

I posted about it in a thread 2 days ago, when someone's card was nearing the end of it's lifespan.

Sure, 720p on low at 30 fps

[carolkarine]

I mean it's GONE guys.

 

as in silicon is cracked. I don't know what broke it, but it was running fine, then the display cut out and the computer BSOD'ed

 

I try for a week to bring it back to life, but it was just gone. I took the g10 I had on it and I realized that the chip was simply in two pieces.

If you've booted up your computer only to find red lines and other graphics issues, you might be able to save that graphics card by putting it in the oven.

Lines across your screen and other graphics abnormalities are called artifacts, and they're likely to occur when your video card is failing. If it's really dying, you might even get a blank screen or program crashes due to overheating. It turns out, a bit of heat is the perfect medicine. Things you'll want to be careful of:

• Make sure to remove the heatsink and any other plastic parts from your card. Melted plastic all over your card is bad news.
• Place a few balls of tin foil on a tray and rest the card on them so it isn't touching the tray. Make sure to put the card in chip side up, otherwise the chip will fall off.
• You'll want to bake it for around 8 minutes at 385°F. The time is flexibile; the general consensus is that anywhere between 5 minutes and 12 minutes should be okay.
• Obviously, let it cool off before you stick it back in your machine.

The science behind this simple: often, video cards fail due to loosening solder joints. Thus, an oven is the perfect savior: by heating those joints back up, they'll turn to liquid and melt back together, giving your card another shot at life. This isn't a brand new trick by any means, but we just discovered it and thought it was pretty cool (not unlike the "save a failing hard drive in the freezer" trick).

Check out the video above for a demo by my favorite hardware guru, Linus Sebastian of NCIX Tech Tips. It didn't work for him in the video, but it's actually a well-documented fix, and he does a good job of explaining the process. Your mileage may vary, of course, but if your graphics card is about to bite the dust, what do you have to lose?

To be honest i don't think dayz is happening. At least not with any high resolution and graphics settings.

Were the screws cranked on to tight?

I would assume so. Over torqued the board...

it's a social game for me. so if I have to play at 720p on the lowest settings, I will.

this most likely. the sad thing is is that with the g10 you don't really have an option if you're using a 7970. I needed a shim for proper contact (it cooled perfectly, mind you) so it was straining to even get the screws to tighten more than a quarter turn.

Does anyone have any dayz benchmarks on intel 4600 graphics?
