DOOM? What's the backstory?
>>55083241
amd apu runs doom
>hurr durr every card can run doom
though he has a point im pretty sure high end inel igpus can run doom too
>>55083241
I think it's referring to computex where AMD had a demo of DOOM on an rx 480 running at 1440p *on a 1080p monitor*. People became skeptical if it was actually running at 1440p since the AMD employees wouldn't let people mess with the settings.

AMD is demoing Doom running on Zen with no discrete GPU at E3.
Some gaming "journalist" shit all over it like "hurr why is this news, my GTX 980 Ti can run DOOM fine."

The iGPU in my skylake i5 can barely run Overwatch at 720p 30fps lowest settings.

Never mind, >>55083273 is right. I was thinking of something earlier.

>>55083295
which igpu is that?
also kaby lake will be mostly about igpu upgrade as well so its yet to see improvement by the time zen is here
idk which way I'm supposed to read this shit
>>55083270
Holy hell that was actually an APU? Goodness lord that's some good stuff

Yep. AMD is finally fully embracing their niche of incredibly competent, price:performance cards. I'm sure they'll still care about the high-end, but they've finally realize that a vast majority of the PC userbase uses what's best and cheapest for what they want.
Unsurprisingly, very few people care about running games at le ebin max settings at 4k. They just want to have fun and play games, and being able to do that at a lower price point with solid performance is going to sell a lot.

I care about running games at max setting on whatever monitor Im using. Currently its an old 1680x1050, so my GTX 760 does that pretty much just fine. Im considering a monitor upgrade, but Ill probably just go with a decent 1080p one. That way I dont need two $500 plus cards to game with(like you would for 4K)

Well Im sure Iris Pro 580 would be more capable than that. Chances are AMD was showing a high end APU too. Either way, this is good news for laptops because of space restrictions.

Well obviously. I was only attempting to game on it because I built my computer and was waiting for the video card to arrive. Integrated graphics are good for what they're intended for.
