I Tested 100 Games on Low End PC Without Graphics Card (Intel HD Graphics 2500)

Hi, folks! Here’s my huge project: I played 100 games on a Dell Optiplex 7010, which comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, without a dedicated graphics card, using Intel HD 2500. All gameplay footage was recorded using MSI Afterburner, which slightly reduces the FPS. Benchmark videos like these take a lot of time and effort, so if you appreciate my hard work, please give it a like, subscribe to my channel, and share it with your friends - that would be super fantastic!

Hey guys, this isn't just an game recommendation video, it's a benchmark test, and it took me several months to make it! So I've put my heart and soul into it! And the hard work isn't over yet, because I'll be getting new hardware soon for more testing! 💪

[@imstillagamer0047]

glad to hear that bro

[@erichdgoth8451]

This is awesome. Thank you so much for the effort.👏👏👏

[@thepianisthd]

playing without grapich card these days is impossbile, even if u open it u will play extremly low fps instead of playing that way just trhew that PC in the trashcan that would be alot better.

[@Thearther007]

Try minecraft to

[@Gameplayicu]

@@Thearther007 Yeah, Minecraft... How could I forget it? I started playing Minecraft very early; it was probably some alpha build. I remember that almost no one knew about it (really, very few people), and some folks mocked me for it, even some 'friends' of mine, for playing a bad-looking game. And look what happened in the end-the game became a global success, and those who made fun of me started playing it too.

[@whitefang21262]

I thought i couldn't enjoy any games, until i came across your channel. Thankyou

[@Gameplayicu]

Glad you said that! 😘

[@StefanBlurr]

Some would milk all of these videos for weeks. You managed to put them into a 16 min video. Respect.

[@Gameplayicu]

Thanx! And it's not over yet! I've played over 400 games on this Dell Optiplex 7010 PC, but I didn’t want to cram it all into one video because it would be way too long 😃

[@Gameplayicu]

It would be great to reach 500, but I don’t want to play really budget games. Maybe I’ll try running some PS2 games on it.

[@jokie4883]

man that's a lot of patience 🔥 mad respect 👺🙏🏻

[@Gameplayicu]

[@Gameplayicu]

@@thepianisthd What do you mean by 'these days'? Are you referring to the days when the Intel HD 2500 was released, or does 'these days' refer to the present day?

[@Gameplayicu]

@@thepianisthd Intel HD 2500 is a very weak integrated graphics. There are much better iGPUs available, such as the new generation Intel HD, which can easily run modern games and is as powerful as the GTX series. The AMD Ryzen Vega series is even more powerful. 🤗

[@Gameplayicu]

Oh, and this is just '100' games, I've already tested more than 400 games with Intel HD 🤣

[@Gameplayicu]

Don’t joke because I take it serious; I’ll show it with the mouse pointer at 0:00 😅

[@ar6377]

@Gameplayicu ooww i don't see that my bad , it is the same processor that i am willing to purchase btw suggest me a GPU with that processor without bottleneck

its cause you have a pentium...

[@thepianisthd]

[@Gameplayicu]

These older generation Intel HD graphics do not support DX12 or Vulkan, so we can't do anything about the hardware limitation. However, many great games from the 2010s run well with playable frame.

[@thepianisthd]

@@Gameplayicu yea myabe could be or not, dunno but playing on very low fps i prefer to play on geforce now or something at least on GNOW u can play on ultra grapichs and and higher fps, but you can play barely play a game with these PC components, thats what i ment to say actually.

[@Gameplayicu]

@@thepianisthd I have tried Steam Remote Play, where your friend not only lends you their game but also their PC, but again, the same problem as with GeForce Now - a good internet connection is required

[@himanshu-5546]

12:17 250 fps 😮😮

[@Gameplayicu]

It was originally a mobile game, later the PC port was released on Steam

[@Gameplayicu]

@@thewhyzer No, even most of the older games don't run at high resolution, not even at 720p

[@Gameplayicu]

@@thewhyzer I will make a side-by-side comparison video later so you can see.

[@awoguvictor4988]

This is great, but why can't i find and download the configurations for dying light and watch dogs? I downloaded it earlier this year and lost it. But i cant find it anymore on your site.. Please help

[@Gameplayicu]

Sorry, I lost the config files I made over the years, and making them again would take too much time

[@emoje001]

Can you tell me from where you downloaded all of these ?

[@Gameplayicu]

For older games, the GOG store is better, but more and more old games are becoming available on Steam as well

[@emoje001]

@Gameplayicu and for piracy which is better ? 🙂

[@Gameplayicu]

@@emoje001 The holidays are coming, so there will surely be huge discounts, or you can play some free games... If you'd like, I can make a video showcasing the free games (I'll test them with Intel HD 2500).

[@emoje001]

@@Gameplayicu Yes please

[@rotivein]

Idk my i5 3470 perform a bit better , perhaps 16gigs of ram and ssd actually help it.

[@Gameplayicu]

Recording reduces the FPS

[@Dark_4real]

is this a laptop or desktop

[@Gameplayicu]

It's a pre-built desktop PC, Dell Optiplex 7010

[@Chickenmuncher87]

How much ram

[@Gameplayicu]

I have 8GB of RAM in dual channel, but as you can see, most games use 2-4GB along with Windows

[@herobrine2210]

Hey

[@Gameplayicu]

Hi 👋

[@MuhammadNasir-uv2gg]

Where to download for free

[@Gameplayicu]

I don't know

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

I freakin dont understand this video. are you showing games that CAN be played without a graphics card ? or games that CANNOT be played without a graphics card ? why are you showing errors when you try to launch the games ?

[@Gameplayicu]

I tested 100 games on a Dell Optiplex 7010 with an Intel Core i5 processor and Intel HD 2500 graphics, without a dedicated GPU. This video is a benchmark - a simple test. I show exactly what happens when you try to run the game: if it doesn’t work, I show it; if it lags, I show it; and if it runs smoothly, I show that too. Everything is 100% honest. These kinds of videos are rare because most are just marketing. Since I don’t have sponsors, I can present everything as it is. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

@Gameplayicu ok so those with errors means i cant play them without gpu

[@Gameplayicu]

@@SIDEKICKONKZbin GPU and graphics card are not synonyms.

[@Gameplayicu]

@@SIDEKICKONKZbin Aren't you the guy who has many alt accounts and keeps asking the same questions over and over? 😅

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

@@Gameplayicu i only have one account. why would i waste my time logging in and out of multiple accounts ? first time i encountered your channel because i searched for PC games that can be played without a GPU/Graphics card. GPU and Graphics card are indeed different but meant the same thing if you have a high IQ. if low IQ then it would be difficult to understand what the other guy meant so yeah i apologize i should have been more precise. let met rephrase what i asked, those you showed to have errors popping up means they cannot be played without a GPU or a Graphics card ?

[@timecrashv5wu709]

2 minutes of this video at this point, just play calculator lol

[@Gameplayicu]

Well, it's not that bad; it can run plenty of good games from the 2010s era 😉

Roblox

[@Gameplayicu]

@@serene_actual No! Roblox client is terribly optimized

Not that bad! This isn’t a bad combo; it’s at least much better than mine. But definitely upgrade with an extra 4GB of RAM, as dual-channel RAM provides significant stability and performance improvements.
