GPU Died, iGPU sucks too hard to play OW2 atm

My 3060 ti finally bit the dust, right in the middle of a match. Using iGPU atm on my 7800x3D.

I ordered a 16 gb 5060 ti, let’s hope Overwatch doesn’t murder this one. :joy:

Looks like it’s back to my classics until Wednesday. Final Fantasy IX is gonna be a fun run through. Any one else got suggestions to play on an iGPU?

wdym finally that’s not an old GPU it’s not supposed to bite the dust :sob:

osu maybe

Edit: Also this gem: https://store.steampowered.com/app/239030/Papers_Please/

It’s put in a lot of hours and survived three different builds, hence finally.

What is that?

This game:

pretty sure any gpu (including not having one) can run that

I see, I’ll keep it noted.

I bought that and tried it once, but was mega sleep deprived and never returned to it.
Maybe I should give it another try.

I use this!

Or Boosteroid!

:point_up_2:

I think that it’s probably too intense for the integrated graphics, but when you get a chance you should try Expedition 33. It’s fantastic! If you have a PS5 or Xbox then you could play it while you wait for your new GPU to arrive.

Rimworld or Stardew Valley are good options

OW shouldn’t have murdered the last either…are you messing with overclocking and extremely high settings? That’s the only way I can see that happening and that’s a direct result of the overclock being too high, not OW. OW is a CPU intensive game iirc.

Not trying to be that “um ackshually” guy, I just wouldn’t wanna see you buy an expensive GPU and have it die for the same reasons. That would suck

The big issue in the realm of GPUs and their issues depends upon if you bought it factory direct or from a 3rd party that solders the chip on it and claims its “nvidia” or “AMD”.

I quit going with third parties and went to factory direct. Much better luck.

I had EVGA cards last maybe 2 or 3 years and then dump out on me. and the amount of money I spent on them was stupidly crazy.

I finally bought a factory direct card from nvidia and this is the longest ive ever had one last. RTX 2060 on launch from nvidia directly. Today it still works.

3rd party vendors just dont care.

brotha i reached gm5 on my 9800x3d IGPU

Beat it twice already, GOTY nominee for sure.

6-10 were the best FFs, with 9-10 being peak.

Also have both and play the hell out of them, great games.

It was a used 3060 ti for $100 I got from my cousin, it already had mileage.

Okay. Sure, considering the average FPS of the RDNA iGPU of both the 7800x3D and 9800x3D in OW2 is 20-30.

Please don’t lie, man.

  1. Old school runescape
  2. Modded Minecraft (use sodium)
  3. Teamfight Tactics
  4. Balatro
  5. Project Zomboid
  6. Clash Royale/Brawl Stars
  7. The Bazaar/Hearthstone

Are good games to play without beefy GPU. I’m looking into more fun games to play myself though, preferably easy to pick up and put down games like rogue-like/lite.

Then I’ll drop some indie. Omitted those that were already mentioned, like zomboid

Spiritfarer
The Final Station
Beholder
The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
Inscryption
UnMetal
Moonlighter

Endling - Extinction is Forever (not sure if igpu will be enough. And kinda pricey)

The Wolf Among Us (technically is indie))

// Ah, only 2 days left… Well, the games are still good)

You can play over ,100fps with the right settings using that Vega cores integrated in the CPU. Just go 1080p all low, and adjust the rendering scale if needed to lower even more the resolution, but for sure, it runs at 60 with no problem 100% rendering at 1080p. About the 3060 strange, it’s not an old GPU, there are still 20years old GPU that still works. Those new GPU just dissipate too much heat

Capacitors go man, it was heavily used since the day it dropped.

Tried all this, I’m not going to play OW2 sub 60 fps, when my monitors are 185+hz.

Ooooh, good thread.
