How Powerful Is The iGPU In The 6700K..?

[snowdog1971]

I'm about to build a new machine, already got my 6700K and will be getting the rest next month.

Am also getting an Asus Maximus Ranger VIII motherboard and16GB of DDR4 too but one thing I'm wondering is this: can the iGPU replace my Radeon HD 2GB 4870 GPU..? Or isn't it powerful enough..? It's quite an old GPU but it's a great performer.

I'm thinking of selling my current machine to help contribute to the cost of the new one but there's no on-board GPU for it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

That's great, thanks guys. I'm playing Elite Dangerous at the mo with Medium settings, if the worst comes to the worst I can always play with lower settings for 6 months or so. Cheers!
