(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. 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. 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. Or any of the various ATI cards of similar speed if you want. For example a GTX770 is of equivalent speed (perhaps even a tad bit faster) and relatively reasonably priced. 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. i pretty sure full hd 60 fps is standard novadays.not reason buy overprized card for this. can you tell me what is supose to be decent quailty for you.

Originally posted by Lu2:you said gt圆80 is bare minimu to run modern games with decent quility. 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. a baseline GTX 680 (which is nowadays the absolute minimum you need to play any modern game with decent graphical quality) at, you'll notice that the Intel chip gets a benchmark score of 1191, while the GTX 680 gets a score of 5715.

For example if you look at a comparison of it vs. The Intel Iris Pro 5200 is indeed a rather pityable graphics chip. It's also incomprehensible why Valve is allowing this kind of deceptive marketing. They are deceptively using this to bring the price of the machine down.

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.
