Intel HD Graphics 5600 Mobile Game Requirement Analysis
Overview
Intel HD Graphics 5600 Mobile are Integrated Graphics in some of Intel's Broadwell Processors.
Architecture
The Broadwell Core includes support for DirectX 11.2, OpenCL 2.0 and OpenGL 4.3. Additionally, it also offers better Decoding Performance, when compared to its Predecessors.
GPU
It equips a GPU Codenamed GT2 which offers 24 Shader Processing Units, 4 TMUs and 1 ROPs. The Central Unit Initially Runs at 300MHz and goes up to 1050MHz, in Turbo Mode.
Memory
The GPU Shares the System's RAM which varies from laptop to laptop. Typically, the GPU reserves 1GB. Depending on whether or not the system's RAM is Dual-Channeled, it can access either a 64-bit or 128-bit memory interface. The operating memory clock also depends on the at which speed the System's RAM is running and is limited by the highest operating speed that the Processor supports. In this case, it is 933MHz.
It is then obvious the Memory Bandwidth depends on a lot of factors and thus this Graphics Card performance may vary heavily from system to system.
Performance
Gaming benchmarks put its performance almost on level with a dedicated Radeon HD 7690M.
System Suggestions
We recommend 4GB of RAM for a system with Intel HD Graphics 5600 Mobile.
