so basically, is Intel UHD 630 better, is Intel UHD P630 better, or is Intel iris plus graphics 655 better
I mean both kinda suck if I’m being perfectly honest.
Integrated graphics aren’t going to do much for you.

yeah I know they’re bad I was just trying to find out which one was best
This is a desktop processor’s integrated GPU right? Not a laptop?
To be honest if you want to game on it, I don’t think you’ll be doing much on Overwatch even as low spec as it is.
its a integrated GPU
it’s an all in one desktop
This one is the better one, with almost double the power.
But neither meet even Overwatch’s already low minimum specs, so if you’re intending on playing Overwatch on it, you’re better off saving your cash and buying something better further down the line.
Even a rather cheap graphics card such as a GTX 1050 TI has 3x the power as the Iris.

Does it have any thunderbolt or USB 3.0 ports? If so you can use an eGPU.
No idea what those even are
Just get a GPU, dude. Don’t go integrated graphics. You’ll be kicking yourself in the future.
Downgrade whatever else you have to, but get a dedicated GPU of SOME KIND.
USB 3.0 is a USB port that is colored Blue, it allows for higher data transfer speeds and can support an external GPU albeit it in a limited or bottlenecked capacity. Depending on how old your all in one is it could have and most likely will have this.
Thunderbolt is different. It’s a variation of USB type C which is an thin symmetrical rounded connector. If the port has a little “lightning” symbol over it it supports Thunderbolt 3.1 which supports faster transfer speeds than USB 3.0, and speeds equivalent to PCIe express lanes.
Since I can’t post links, look up references and see if you have either. Either one will allow you to use a GPU to varying degrees (Thunderbolt allowing for near full use, and 3.0 allowing for bottlenecked use) and both will get a performance boost over your integrated graphics.
Did you buy the AIO or have it already?
GPU is one of the most important parts for an FPS.
You can play OW easily on an older GPU, but it has to be separate and not sharing RAM with the CPU like integrated does. It limits them badly when they share as its not efficient.
The important thing though is you make sure the PC you are buying has two things.
-
Room for a dedicated GPU. They can be quite large. Definately wont fit in a SFF system, and even full towers can be a hard fit if they were not made to be gaming. I bought a huge dell tower and even then it was a tight fit and I had to disconnect my CD-Rom.
-
Make sure the PSU (power unit) has the watts. About 650W or so.
If those requirements are met, you can buy a used GTX 960 pretty cheap on eBay ($140 or so) and slap it in.
r/hardwareswap has them from $50 to $90 depending on model. eBay is kinda bad for GPU prices.
yeah if you can find someone local on reddit.
Not sure I would trust a transaction through reddit though unless it was f2f.
You can find them cheaper on ebay. I saw one for $110 other day, just have to dig. And that extra gives you some protection too from a bad card or something.
I must’ve been risking it all then haha, I have yet to be burned from a transaction on reddit.
Oops.
I mean right now its mostly not even well known enough to get scammers on there probably.
But be assured if there is a scam to be had on there when the scammers catch wind, they will flood it.
What is your protection? I mean I guess chargeback on paypal protects the buyer maybe. Not sure how paypal works outside of ebay which I have sold a ton on.
I mean if I had to guess none of them compare to a nvidia geforce gtx 1060 so it’s kind of a moot point
That specific subreddit has a fairly robust and active mod team with an expansive ban and alert list. There’s also a lot of regular sellers and buyers who have pretty good peer reviews which are also tracked by the mods by essentially getting the all clear from both parties.
Heatware is also used fairly regularly as well to vouch for a seller’s quality.
I’ve done a lot of online purchasing through eBay, Reddit and Craigslist and Facebook. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t recommend Craigslist Facebook by a long shot for shipping, and while eBay has more guarantees, r/hardwareswap has yet to burn me nearly 30 transactions in.
It also has an active price listing for most recent prices hardware has been sold for as a reference, which is nice.
But it’s really up to your own discretion.
eBay has so much guarantees for the buyer they burn their sellers all of the time. Its actually pretty easy to burn sellers on eBay and get away with it which is why I stopped selling.
It is also why prices have slowly risen over the last few years as small-mid volume sellers are finding others places to sell.
Ill check out the subreddit some.

good luck
Having any graphics card would be better.
