The igpu intel hd 630 can run the division 2 at 30 fps

It is not a secret that the iGPUs that are included in the Intel Core processors do not have a very good reputation among the common users for their low performance, always comparing them with the AMD APUs. However, to our surprise, the modest HD 630 can with one of the latest games, The Division 2.

The Division 2 @ 30fps with the Intel HD 630

We don't know if it's because of the HD 630's graphics power or if Ubisoft did a great job of optimization, but the reality is that this iGPU can run The Division 2 at 30 fps.

The test was performed with a Core i5-7500 processor running at 3.4 GHz along with 16GB of DDR4 @ 2400 MHz memory. As you will have seen in the video, the game is running with the graphics options to the minimum (Low), in windowed mode and at 720p resolution.

The game maintains a 'stable' frame rate outdoors

The game stays above 30 fps most of the time, although it sometimes drops below that number for brief moments. Indoors we get about 40 fps or more peak.

Although we do not take advantage of the excellent graphics of this new Ubisoft game, many users who have a modest PC, will surely appreciate being able to play this game without buying a graphics card, using a seventh generation Intel Core processor or higher.

The iGPU HD 630 is also present in the Coffee Lake series, so we should have the same results in The Division 2, and more if we do a good overclocking with a chip that comes unlocked.
