Iris Pro 5200? REALLY?

[himmatsj]

Come on Valve. The Steam Machines are a joke. Play a game like Dying Light or Evolve on a Iris Pro 5200 at just 720p LOWEST SETTINGS and you will be getting a slideshow.

I simply do not understand why Valve is not using logic here. GPUs below the performance of a GTX 750 Ti and CPUs below an i5 3rd gen should be disallowed, otherwise these machines are more powerful than consoles but will perform much worse.

It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lose lose situation, and Valve/Steam's reputation, as well as maybe PC gaming reputation, will be tarnished by this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Mark my words!

Also, I must say that the marketing on the store page for the Iris Pro 5200 is bullocks. How can anyone write and speak such drivel with a straight face?

Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy? It says RIGHT THERE: "GPU: GTX 780m SLI"

The Iris Pro 5200 HD is a secondary discreet GPU that comes together with the CPU and that doesn't get utilized at all.

the whole gameplay is on the iris gpu. even for a 780M this would be a garbage result with avg. 37 fps.

and the gigabyte guy is legit, he doesn't talk garbage and doesn't overpromote it for stuff it is not meant for.

For this small form factor, the only thing you can discuss here is the price for the device, the performance is there for what is promotes.

It is indeed rather incomprehensible why they are selling these machines with, effectively, no graphics card (the Intel Graphics chips are your run-of-the-mill graphics chips that come integrated with almost all motherboards, or the CPU itself, so that they will be usable even without a separate graphics card), even though these are supposed to be gaming machines. They are deceptively using this to bring the price of the machine down. It's also incomprehensible why Valve is allowing this kind of deceptive marketing.

The Intel Iris Pro 5200 is indeed a rather pityable graphics chip. For example if you look at a comparison of it vs. a baseline GTX 680 (which is nowadays the absolute minimum you need to play any modern game with decent graphical quality) at videocardbenchmark.net, you'll notice that the Intel chip gets a benchmark score of 1191, while the GTX 680 gets a score of 5715.

In other words, a game with graphical settings that would barely run at 60 FPS with a GTX 680, will run at about 12 FPS with the Intel chip. That's beyond unacceptable.

I still don't get it. Do you mean that it's too low-end or too high-end to be an absolute minimum at this moment?

you said gtx680 is bare minimu to run modern games with decent quility .can you tell me what is supose to be decent quailty for you .i pretty sure full hd 60 fps is standard novadays.not reason buy overprized card for this. buy gtx750ti instead.exelent budget card that can handle "decent quality" in modern games

When I say "GTX680", I obviously mean "a graphics card of similar speed as the GTX680" ie. not necessary literally GTX680. For example a GTX770 is of equivalent speed (perhaps even a tad bit faster) and relatively reasonably priced. Or any of the various ATI cards of similar speed if you want.

The GTX 750Ti may be cheaper than eg. the GTX 770, but if you are a gamer buying a new gaming PC, I really think that you shouldn't be content with the former, as it's quite slower. If you try to run many modern graphically-heavy games with it, you'll find that you will have to lower the graphical settings of the game to get decent framerates. (Even the 770, which is still pretty decent even with modern games, is starting to slowly become a bit old, at least if you really want good graphical quality in the newest games. It's not bad at all, at least not at this moment, but if you want for your card to last for more than just a couple of years, then perhaps something faster would be in place. Definitely not something slower.)

yes i agreed but problem is i dont have that much money so i dont mind 30fps or lowering graphics so this excelent budget card is great deal for people with tight budget.
i brought gtx750ti year ago for less money than cost now lol (in local stores)
680-770 cost 2 - 2.5x more .no reason buy that (performance X prize is bad)

I know its crazy also the new r9 nano is an awesome card for these kind of over the top gaming systems

^ Umm? Excuse me what? ^

LOL maybe for movies, talk about deceptive marketing. I used to think Gigabyte was a decent brand but integrated Intel graphics on a gaming machine? and then saying is 4K?? LOL what ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! I will stay away from Gigabyte from now on
