Of course we had to use the low-quality presets more often than not, but all the same Richland enables mainstream computers to play modern games at the most commonly used resolution for PC gaming. In our review of AMD’s HD 8670D we noted that it was capable of producing playable frame-rates in AAA games at 1080P.
But now that we’ve had a chance to test AMD’s just released HD 8670D, the GPU portion of the A10-6800K, and get a handle on its gaming performance, we’re going back to Intel’s HD 4600 to find the highest quality setting at which games are still playable on Intel’s desktop graphics solution. We did have a chance to run the latest beta of HandBrake, which is now available in Quick Sync- and OpenCL-optimized trim, on Intel’s Core i7s and AMD’s A10-5800K.We only briefly looked at the performance of Intel’s HD 4600 graphics solution in our review of Intel’s new Core i7-4770K. Meanwhile, the fastest TU7 should be faster, higher-quality, and more battery-friendly for mobile devices on HD Graphics 4600 than 4000. But at the highest-quality TU1 setting, HD Graphics 4600 is significantly better looking than 4000. Really, the intricacies deserve a story of their own.
Haswell’s implementation mixes in more speed and configurable quality dials.įor example, previous versions of Quick Sync exposed three pre-defined blends of performance and quality that Intel calls target usages. Intel followed up with an improved version of Quick Sync on Ivy Bridge ( discussed here) that seemed to introduce mostly performance-oriented enhancements. There’s quite a bit to discuss when it comes to Intel’s Quick Sync feature, which I introduced on this page in Intel’s Second-Gen Core CPUs: The Sandy Bridge Review. I’m at least happy to see the company using HD Graphics 4600 across its product line, where it previously armed lower-end chips with stripped-down graphics engines.
