Gaming on iGPU (HD Graphics 630) i7-7700K Kaby Lake

The above video runs through the performance of the HD 630 in a collection of 15 games. Obviously, many of these are demanding games, but I also tested at pretty much the minimum quality level and 1280x720—or 1280x768 in a few games where 720p isn't supported. I had initially hoped to shoot for 1920x1080, but that's not happening in anything but the lightest of games—stuff like League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and even Overwatch should be able to run decently at 1080p, perhaps even at medium or high quality in some cases. But demanding PC games are out of the question—even doubling the number of EUs would still come up short of 30 fps in many games.

Haha, yep... should be able to get away with 2D / Indie games and really old games.

Choplifter HD works surprisngly really well on my HD 3000 iGPU on my 2500K, reasonable graphics as well.

Actually not bad, I'd disagree with a lot of the unplayable & somewhat unplayable, I would still play them fine - I know because I kinda had to do that this X-mas period when away from my PC (A6 5400K + GTS 450 funzies!). If it has minimums of 20 and averages 20-30 it's quite okay, especially if it doesn't have constant stuttering. Now not to say I'd do that normally, but in a situation where that was the only available solution for a short while (say 1 month) I'd easily live with it.

All in all, bit impressed & now eagerly waiting to see what Zen APUs can do.

Just a tip, you can overclock your igpu im using the 530 in my 6600k untill i can afford a gpu and i get an extra 10-12 fps in most games with my overclock.
I get 57-65 fps average on dirt 3 complete edition 1920x1080 low settings believe it or not.
