i7-8700k iGPU

[Brandon9997]

hi guys so i've decided to wait for the next gen Nvidia gpu's ... so my (kinda stupid) question would i be able to watch videos in yt and play light games (hearthstone) in my pc? my monitor is a 1440p 144Hz one the xb271hu

[Skiiwee29]

Watch videos yes. Play hearthstone, yes.. Anything beyond that, likely not.

YouTube and light games, sure. But no Fortnite, unless you enjoy it at 480P with 15FPS.

My 1070 died on me a few months back, and i was not in a hurry, so lived with iGPU for one or two months.

You wont feel any difference in simple tasks - but you will be surprised as to what you can "Game".

 

Anything above windowed card games is basically a no go.

Yes, although that's the limit. Nvidia recently said it will be a "long time" before the next generation comes out though.

If you can afford 8700k, it's very likely you can afford something like a used 750 Ti or a 660.

@JoostinOnline yeah i know, but considering the gpu prices rn cause i was looking at the 1080ti, the asus strix in my area costs ~1050 USD and the cheapest ive found is around 850 USD (PALIT)

I concur, buying a cheap used older GPU, will give you ALOT more joy gaming wise, than trying to run off a iGPU, if you really want to wait to spend any real cash until next gen

will running on an igpu of a cpu degrade the cpu faster?

In theory it might run a bit hotter, as the iGPU will add some power draw, but as it is fairly weak, i do not think it would actually make much of a difference
