It was even playable all cranked at 1920x1080, but there were too many dips into the 30fps range for me to stick with it.Įven with all of the settings at rock-bottom and resolution set to 1280x720, I couldn't wring a playable experience out of this game. Resolution: 1600x900 (maxed)/1920x1080 (lowered texture detail)Īt the resolution above, with all graphics & texture settings cranked, the game is quite smooth. Raising the resolution to even 1366x768 started to impact smoothness, so I would recommend sticking with 1280x720 if you want a good experience on HD 530 with this game.

This game runs at pretty much 60fps locked (at least in the scenes that I tested), with occasional dips into the low-mid 50fps range in especially heavy/open scenes.

Runs in Windows 10 without any hackery, too. This game runs extremely smoothly maxed out, with no AA. You aren't going to get the best image quality with HD 530 in this game, but you can get the game to run smoothly and have a reasonable experience with it. I did a run through in one of the scenarios and, according to FRAPs, here were the min/max/avg framerates: 40-61-55.889. So you will need to go into the console and type 'r_vertexLight 0' as well as 'r_dynamiclight 1.' For some reason vertex lighting/static lighting is forced on by defaul. On Windows 10 the game won't even run without an unofficial patch (1.42d) which you can download here: Īlso, I ran into a peculiar issue on Skylake HD 530 systems (tested two DeskMinis and my laptop). The HD 530 seems to be able to max this game out and keep FPS well above the 60Hz refresh rate of my monitor at a crisp 1920x1080 resolution. I'll update this list regularly with impression/settings.ġ. I hope that this will help people who are looking for games to play on their HD 530 (or similar) iGPU systems find stuff that runs well and looks good. In this thread, I plan to post my experiences with different, mostly older, games. Although I use my ASRock DeskMini with a Skylake CPU (hooked up to a 1080p monitor) for work, I've been curious to see what kinds of games I can run - and run well - on the integrated HD 530 GPU.
