Do you want to play the game independent graphics card?

Independent graphics seems to give a strong impression of performance, a little bit of knowledge of the notebook will choose a stand-alone graphics card for the game, core graphics card is a kind of integrated in the processor part of a graphics processing chip, Intel's latest launch of the HD5200 Rui Ju graphics card, Compared with the original core graphics card has a relatively large increase.

At present, the HD5000 series core graphics card products are relatively rare, the most popular to count the Apple MacBook Series and the future of human X411 game, our test using the Thor 911, by shielding the independent video card to test the way, Disable the gtx870m standalone video card in Device Manager first.

Device Manager disables standalone graphics

The gpu-z can be seen with Intel naming this core video card as GT3E, as well as using a 22nm process with 40 core computing units. Through 3DMARK11 Professional graphics software, you can see in the E-file mode to get a 3613 high score, in the independent graphics gt740m to gt750m, single from the theoretical value, HD5200 has been able to threaten some positioning audio-visual entertainment products.

Below, respectively, through the Hero Alliance, Tank World and biochemical crisis 63 games to detect the specific strength of this HD5200 core graphics card, before the game, first for you to introduce this core graphics test environment. The processor uses the fourth Daicouri I7-4860HQ processor, equipped with 1TB mechanical hard drives and 16GB storage.

League of Heroes high-quality settings

Heroic League frame Number curve

League of Heroes Game Test, open 1920x1080 resolution and almost the highest configuration, in the group battle process can still maintain 50 frame number of results, this once let the author thought that shielding independent video card did not succeed, open gpu-z found that the notebook is still using core graphics to work, Perhaps the League of heroes such as online games rely on a powerful processor to match the midrange display chip can be quite fluent enjoyment of the game.

Tank world can't turn on high quality

Tank World Frame Number curve

Tank World Game Test, in the image of the advanced settings found in the use of core graphics card, automatically shielded the mid-range and high-end screen options, the choice of custom can only adjust the part of the option. In the actual experience process, open the middle and low screen settings, the number of frames to remain around 20 frames, in the face of large-scale combat will appear in cotton.

Biochemical Crisis 6 Screen settings

Test score C-level 1977 points

The last is the biochemical crisis 6, for this type of large-scale stand-alone game, the author selected the mid-range quality testing, running the whole process of testing software are cotton, the final score is only C file, it seems to the core graphics, to 1080P high-definition resolution to run a single game, May only reduce the resolution and the low picture.

Through the game test, Rui Ju core video card basically shows and theoretical test of similar performance, but in some games, when the use of core graphics card will encounter some of the screen effects can not be opened, for the network game, a midrange display chip with a strong processor can bring more fluid experience, But for some of the stand-alone, even the higher end of the HD5200 also appears to be a bit powerless.

A lightweight MBA makes it hard to install independent graphics

Intel's core graphics card compared to the traditional independent graphics, in terms of power and heat has a certain advantage, remove the design of independent graphics, you can make the space design of the notebook more free. However, the current sharp torch graphics card has not been adopted on a large scale, perhaps considering the game manufacturers in the optimization and driver tuning software, the advantages of traditional independent graphics card is also more obvious.

Summary: In the eyes of most users, the independent graphics card also occupies a strong cognitive properties, and the latest sharp torch graphics card is only to achieve the performance of medium independent graphics, the face of the demand for large stand-alone game notebook players, the purchase of high-end independent graphics products is its only choice.

And for those who focus on portability, only for the study and office of the crowd, the core of the video card upgrade so that such products also have a certain degree of entertainment and graphics processing capabilities, without significantly increasing the power and thickness of the notebook at the same time, bringing the performance of the midrange independent graphics, should be a good change.
