What can I play without a GPU

Go to solution Solved by PlayStation 2,

Grand Theft Auto V at low at something like 1080p should be completely doable at 30FPS.

Team Fortress 2 basically at high will be doable at 1080p60.

 

Really, there's quite a lot you can play with the i5's iGPU.

A few days ago, I built a new PC but I didn't get the GPU because I'm going to get it in a month or so when I go on holiday to Florida (it's like £100 cheaper there). What can I run with my i5 6600k@4.5GHz (+16GB DDR4@2133MHz). I'd like to know what type of games at what settings I can possibly run with this. Thanks for any replies; unless you say Minecraft... \,,/(^_^)\,,/

crysis 2 , 5fpsxD
 

crysis 3*, and that's on ultra...

 

On lowest it gets a playable 30~ fps.

 

EDIT:

Also OP, if you can, look into overclocking the iGPU with intel XTU or something. You can get quite a good boost with OC.

You asked a really crappy question. 

 

The answers you're getting are as if you asked, "What are the most popular games that people play with Intel integrated graphics? If you don't know what's popular, what do you like?"   

 

A better question to ask would have been, "I realize there are literally thousands of games on Steam.  How can I search through them to find ones that I can play with Intel integrated graphics?"   

 

You should really just look at the system requirements for each game that interests you.  If you can't determine (based on lack of familiarity with hardware or anything else) if it is compatible or playable, then you should ask about those games.
