2. Refunds are done through Steam support, see the support button at the top of the page? They aren't going to read every post looking for people who want refunds
Iris is a GPU, it's just not a good one.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/visual-technology/graphics-overview.html
GPU = graphics processing unit, you can't even view anything on a computer without one. Some are integrated, others are discrete (stand alone add on cards)
It's an APU, not a GPU.
Except it isn't discrete; otherwise it wouldn't be hitting the northbridge for timing information and bandwidth.
You might want to look up the definitions of words you attempt to use:
APU is a chip that contains both the CPU and GPU. So, even if something is an APU, it's also both a CPU and a GPU.
You're arguing over things you don't understand.
You also might actually want to look up what is being discussed, the Intel Iris XE is discrete:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/211014/intel-iris-xe-dedicated-graphics-card-80-eu.html
You made an assumption that it isn't discrete simply because it's from intel; but they started making discrete cards a few years ago. And you incorrectly assumed an APU isn't also a GPU.
I'm not sure the point of your comments if you can't even be bothered to be accurate about anything you say.
Where did I say it was good for games?
You're creating a non-argument. He said it's not a GPU, but it is a GPU. He said it's not discrete, it is discrete. He says it's only an APU, but an APU is also a GPU, these are not mutually exclusive terms.
Then you show up and want to say it's not good for games? Well, no kidding, most intel GPU aren't good for modern games whether they are integrated or discrete, but they are still a GPU.
It will run really old games, browser games, flash games, etc.
What I'm saying is factually accurate and the point you can't tell the difference between marketing and facts is pretty telling; the icing on the cake being ARC is in very real danger of being cancelled because of architectural issues that will take both a complete respin of the actual silicon and in minimum almost a year to fix.

If you exceed either of that they might not allow you to refund it.
Setting the render resolution at the lowest possible should help a lot with performance but that might still not be enough for your PC.
I've been using them for over a decade, if you play at 720p / 800p they're amazing.
If you play at 1600p on some games they are great too it's down to the drivers and how well optimized each game is.
With Iris Xe graphics you will find these on the GPD Win Max, GPD Win 3, Onexplayer, Onexplayer Mini. The trouble is Intel drivers have beta & non beta builds that are public and every time you update Windows you also update / downgrade drivers because Windows does not like to keep Intel graphics drivers to be the newest version and instead rolls it back as much as two years.
Also Iris Xe does not come in one flavour and to get the most out of any iGPU you will need dual channel RAM actually this applies to AMD not just Intel.
Be sure to check your memory setup, driver version and which processor you have.
I've seen videos of the 1135 processor reaching 90-100 fps and as little as 45 fps on Stray and that was before any Stray updates or driver updates were released.
Stop bashing the tech and instead understand what you are looking at.
You do not need a dedicated graphics card anymore to play the newest games otherwise things like Steam Deck would be DOA.
