Games that prioritize CPU over GPU?

[Manthexxx]

Can you guys give me some titles that rely heavily on cpu and little gpu power? I'm getting a new Dell from their office line because they're more reliable in the long term but that also means only integrated graphics.
This isn't really a problem since most games I play are old or undemanding, but I am curious if there are some new games that rely on cpu, to see what my baby can do.

Games are mostly a no go without a dedicated GPU Card.
So you can forget it if all it has is Onboard Graphics.

Cool I might try Day Z. I'll install a heat warning if necessary.

Hearts of Iron and City: Skylines, they don't need much graphics power but rely heavily on the CPU.

If you mean integrated graphics as in an APU like a AMD A12 9800,you might run DayZ,if not,the best games you will play will be flash games

What makes you think a slow office pc is more reliable?
Also what CPU will it have and what is its main use going to be ?
Normally 'office' pcs are just cheap pcs.
I mean, I guess you could add a GPU to it yourself, but then why not buy one with one in the first place?

In reliability of DELL so much, that I knew a guy who bought out failed DELL an HP office computers from big companies. In 99% of cases the PSU died. Then he equipped them with reliable PSUs and resold them.

Right now I have a dell optiplex from 2009 or '8 I think, it still runs. So I decided to upgrade to the new optiplex model. I've also had several custom gaming pc's over the years but they broke down (rip wallet).
This is why I know they're reliable, but in general they only put in parts that are the most reliable because offices don't want to replace their stations ever 2 years. My reasoning for the office pc.

I can always put in a gt 1030 if I want a little more power but i'm gonna test this first.

I have Cities, so I can try that one. And ofcourse Crusader Kings 2 (which even runs on this 2008 dell lol!)

Oh I should mention, I mainly bought this pc for coding and experimenting with networks. I could've done that on the old one, but I'm spoiled and don't wanna wait too long when compiling or whatever task i'm doing.
