Question about Intel UHD graphics

HitnRun · 12-16-2024, 02:53 PM

I have an opportunity to pick up an office computer cheap as they are replacing all the computers in house at the end of year. My question is will OOTP 24 or 25 run on a Intel UHD Graphics 770 satisfactory as that is the most graphic intense game I play and I really don't need a high end graphics card. Right now it runs on my Intel HD Graphics 4600 OK so I assume something newer would work but wonder if anyone one is running the game on that 770 and could respond for peace of mind.

The 4600 is over a decade old at this point, and benchmark scores would indicate that OOTP (and, really, everything) should run better on the 770.

I’ve found OOTP to be one of the easiest games on graphics when I started, but that was a few versions ago and I have a more powerful computer now.

Thanks for the responses.
I know it's old and the office computer is much newer and assumed it would run OOTP, but for my peace of mind I was hoping someone actually was running the game on the 770 would let me know it worked. Otherwise I may have to just take a chance, or may have to invest in something new but would lighten my wallet much more and I would have to wait a while to do that.

OOTP isn't going to be an issue. What you really need to ask yourself is, is the rest of it worth whatever they're asking? If it's a good deal and the rest of the specs are also an almost 9 year upgrade, I'd jump on it.

I get not wanting to upgrade your computer every year or two, but it sounds like your existing computer is from about 2013, which is pretty far behind. At some point it's not going to be doing things you want it to do, like security updates.

Thanks again everyone. The benchmarks tell me I should be fine plus your re-assurance. I chose a windows 11 computer about 2 years old (still a 770). Several were Windows 10 so I picked the newer one for a little more that should hold me for a while. Will be able to pick it up 1st week of January after new ones are installed and IT guy restores it back to the original factory release.
