I cant tell if I am lagging because of day 1 launch, or if its because of my graphics card. Is anyone tech savvy that can elaborate on the graphics card?
Are you still getting lag?
I have the same graphics card, games jumpy, not playable. I guess it can’t handle the game.
Try drop a step in resolution.
Also it being an integrated GPU, you can allocate more system memory to the GPU via BIOS, as it doesn’t have any vram on its own, but uses the system. So depending on how much you have of RAM and how much the game swallows while playing, will dictate how much is available to allocate through the BIOS.
Also, it goes without saying, all display settings in game, should be low.
Integrated graphics aren’t really meant to be used for gaming. You need a Dedicated graphics card, that is something like GTX 1060 or higher, for smoother gameplay.
My Laptop has a GTX 980 but I have yet to test how well D2R runs on it.

The UHD630 is actually quite capable for an integrated GPU. It is similar in performance to a 1030 card or there abouts. Resolution and memory are the two bottlenecks. So 1080p is out the window, and 720p should be ok’ish I think.
A 1030 is Integrated GPU performance, if 720p is the only good resolution, it’s iGPU performance. The only reasonable iGPU you can get are from AMD Ryzen CPUs that have a iGPU.
You might think D2R would run on a lot of systems…it’s really not, it’s like one of the heaviest game out there (for what it looks like).
He should still be able to allocate more memory via BIOS. Default settings is usually miserable when it come to integrated GPU’s.
It is GPU intense, if you don’t cap the frames. The machine I am playing on for D2R has a ASUS Rog STrix GTX970 OC ed. and it would skyrocket in temp’s until I capped the frames. Otherwise, this old card is running it fine and running at 55-65 in temp’s. So not sure how “heavy” you think it is.
There’s a lots of high temp reports since beta, even with capped fps.
I cap my FPS to 100 and temps goes up to 85c, this causes many computers with bad air flow to crash due to temps.
By Heavy I mean the game ask a lot to the GPU when it shouldn’t.
no its not lol, even the uhd 730 is half the speed of a gt 1030.My i5-11400 has a UHD 730 which I dont use cause I use dedicated graphics and its slower than my gt 1030 tested against lol
the minimum specs for this game are a gtx 660 and an hd 7850.Here lies your problem.Your UHD 630 is more than 3x slower than a gtx 660.
No Im very tech savvy when it comes to graphics cards, even if his UHD 630 has 12 gigs of GDDR6X memory dedicated to use(this is hypothetical) Its not even the amount of vram that matters.It has a low amount of processing cores(unified shader cores for the gpu), low TMU count and low ROP count.to put this in perspective the

Aye, they need a lot of optimization for sure. Just idling in the character menu, the game already demanded 95-100% of my GPU and temp’s immediately started rising. A menu shouldn’t do that, under any circumstance. That was the first hint that I got, that something wasn’t right. Capping my frames helped me, probably because of my old card. I tried different settings, and it wasn’t until putting everything on low, I started missing out on frames (less than 100% GPU use) from there I simply upped it, until I utlized my card fully at 100%, which landed me around medium settings with stable temp’s around 55-65 and the Strix card only using the fans once in awhile (granted, my cooling in my meshify cabinet has 5 fans, two front, two rear and a top mounted)
Newer cards will already have semi-high temp’s (55-60?) just for being under load, simply because of their size and the amount of cores involved. Which means, they are actually more suspectible to overheating from non-optimization, as they won’t have as large a margin as I have for example. Temp’s around 75-85 is fine, and above 95 people should start worrying. Altho, with proper cooling and the right cabinet, they should be nearer my temp’s.
Yes, but from the OP and the reply just under, they clearly can play the game, just not optimally (e.g. jumping) and I assume that is without any tweaking. No harm in giving it a shot, before investing in a new computer.
Yea without tweaking, it’s on low settings by default but crazy jumpy. I’m pretty sure it can’t be made playable so I will need to figure out which graphics card to buy, a bit of a bummer. I don’t play many desktop games these days so not encountered this problem before.
