Star Trek Online does have performance drops, but much of that has to do with server lags and missions with an overwhelming number of enemies (in space or on ground).įallout 3 should be playable as well since I played that game for around 8 hours to test the performance of the older Intel HD 3000 graphics core before switching over to the dedicated nVidia GT 550m in my Lenovo IdeaPad Y470. Running around in the open world ranges between 25 FPS - 34 FPS. Running around in Whiterun performance ranged between 30 FPS - 46 FPS. Skyrim (with lots of tweaks to the SkyrimPrefs.ini file like disabling shadows)
All games are played at 1600x900 resolution. I disabled the dedicated Radeon HD 8850m graphics chip. And I can imagine one optimizes game differently for integrated and discrete GPUs (memory shared with CPU vs dedicated GPU memory).I have played the following games using the Intel HD 4400 (less powerful than the Intel HD 4600) on my laptop. And when porting games to Linux the Intel GPUs are not considered important at all, so they get worse support than the dedicated GPUs. Not because of Linux drivers, which are probably good enough, but because the games are mostly not optimized for OpenGL or Linux. If you cannot afford Skylake, Haswell should be a good choice, Ivy Bridge a bit worse.Īnd do not expect better performance than in Windows. Skylake support is even better, but preformance-wise it seems that improvement from Haswell to Skylake is not as big as Sandy Bridge->Ivy Bridge and Ivy Bridge->Haswell. That is probably not a big change in performance, but a big change in game compatibility (if the games have playable performance is a different thing). Haswell (HD Graphics 4200-5000) already support OpenGL 4.5 in Linux (which is, AFAIK, more than in Windows) and have nearly complete Vulkan support.

The Mesa drivers are quite good and still actively developed, by Ivy Bridge support is lagging behind.
