Which is better???

[Edgar R. Zakarian]

So which is better?  - Intel HD 530 (Skylake i5-6600k) or 8800 GTX?

 

According to benchmarks it's definitely Intel.

However in practice I've found these two comparable videos:

 

Linus tests the 8800 GTX @ 1080p medium, around 45-50 fps

 

This random dude tests the Intel 530 at 1366x768 @ medium, around 50-70 fps.

 

So which is really better??? (Gaming)

Defiantly the Intel HD 530, the 8800 GTX is 8 years old now and has lost all driver support.

As someone who couldn't afford an 8800gtx when it came out, this just shows how much the game has changed.  Wow.  530 consumes a fraction of the power of the 8800gtx as well.

The intel test is running at higher FPS, but it's also not rendered at full 1080p.

I'm just wondering what you would get on crysis running it at 1080p. Might drop below or around 45-50 fps? or? That's a lot of more pixels?

There's a lot more to running a game than just rendering pixels.
