And they say this game is unoptimized. Recent games make this look like optimization heaven. This is pretty impressive!

[@Henrybram]

nope, this is an almost 20 year old game struggling to get 30 fps on high graphics from a much more recent cpu and gpu

[@laszloberkes6116]

​@@HenrybramI'm mostly just hating on recent optimization to be honest. Since this game is notoriously not optimized. Let's see the new Intel ultra 5 or whatever on a Cyberpunk on integrated graphics. You'd probably get similar results. Or better yet, a Ghost of Tsushima. They just don't bother to optimize games anymore. I also wonder what it will look like once some of the newer titles get as old as GTA 4 compared to the 4590. I would very much like to see a 2030 chip run black myth wukong on integrated Intel graphics.

@@laszloberkes6116 yeah alr i get what ur tryint to say

[@alvzcizzler]

​​@@HenrybramIntel HD 4600 is very weak integrated GPU, this CPU and GPU are from 2012 so already over a decade old and again it's just integrated graphics....

[@GPUMASTER]

For iGPU graphics like HD 4600, this result is surprisingly good, high settings at 720p and 25 to 30ish fps is still very playable.

[@Takotheocto]

This is the best I have ever seen from integrated

[@GPUMASTER]

At first, I didn't expect the game to run this well on Intel HD 4600 graphics, I had low expectations, but the results took me by surprise.

[@outwoodyapecker]

judging by the shadows the game has been downgraded to 1.0.4.0 which is much easier to run than 1.0.6.0 and later versions with the updated shadows

[@GPUMASTER]

@@outwoodyapecker yes, patch 1040 runs perfectly fine and works very well.

[@SvenDesigns]

Nice !

[@arwd5416]

not bad

[@Isaac90-u3t]

Muito bom

[@Maximum-Technik]

try to update the game with the downgrader
it will run better

[@Infiniteshrine-j7x]

Did you run with dxvk or native dx9

[@GPUMASTER]

@@Infiniteshrine-j7x Native dx9

[@heylyyy]

[@GPUMASTER]

@@heylyyy No, it's default dx9 game performance, no any modification is done to the game files.
