Unsure whether your processor has integrated graphics? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this informative guide, we\u2019re breaking down everything you need to know about processors with integrated graphics, rounding up a selection of the latest models and how you can check if your CPU has them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Integrated Graphics?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Integrated graphics, or iGPUs, are directly built onto a processor, often on the same chip, allowing them to share resources. Onboard graphics are best suited for light tasks such as web browsing, video streaming, or casual gaming.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Integrated Graphics Good for Gaming?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can enjoy gaming while using integrated graphics, but you will have to make some compromises. iGPUs aren\u2019t capable of powering modern-day AAA titles and utilising features such as ray tracing. Instead, integrated graphics are best suited for more casual, indie<\/a>, and older video games that aren\u2019t nearly as demanding. Think Star<\/a>dew Valley, Spritfarer<\/a>, Duck Detective<\/a>, or Spiritea<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while you can\u2019t play every game with integrated graphics, there are some advantages for gamers. iGPUs are notably more cost-effective, making them better suited for complete beginners or those trying to build a gaming PC on a stricter budget. Plus, since they don\u2019t require as much energy as a standard dedicated GPU, integrated graphics are perfect for energy-efficient<\/a> systems that won\u2019t break the bank.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What CPUs Have Integrated Graphics?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both Intel and AMD have manufactured processors with integrated graphics, and we\u2019ve broken them all down below.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intel\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Intel has made it easier to understand which CPUs feature onboard Intel UHD graphics, as they\u2019ll feature different suffixes to indicate whether you need to also have a dedicated GPU. This includes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
