minus-squaresounddrill@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoTestimony: I use a 2015 iGPU rig with an i5 6500 and 16gb ddr4. Runs well, I can do all sorts of things on it. If some game doesn’t run well and I got cash, I’m taking a bus to SP road and buying a good used GPU. Cheap, reliable, serviceable. Only 1 of which apple’s products are.
