Intel HD Graphics 505 | Review

The Intel HD Graphics 505 is an integrated is based on Intel’s Gen. 9 Apollo lake architecture based on a 14 nm manufacturing process. It can support 4K at 30Hz. When it comes the day to day tasks it is very capable of handling most of them however when it comes to much heavier workloads such a video editing the Intel HD Graphics 505 is not a good solution.

Gaming performance: How is Intel HD Graphics 505 for Gaming

The performance of Intel HD Graphics 505 depends on a number of factors such as L3 cache size, ram configuration, boost clock speed, and core count of the CPU. If we compare Intel HD Graphics 505 is 2-3 times slower compared to Intel UHD Graphics so don’t expect any kind of gaming performance from it as it is only capable of playing games such as Counter-Strike: GO at 30 FPS at the lowest setting.
