Intel kaby lake can overwatch in 4k

We have already told you several times about the Intel Kaby Lake processors that will arrive to give a new twist to the 14 nm Intel Tri-Gate and improve the performance offered by the current Skylake. The new processors could resemble Broadwell in that the big beneficiary would be the iGPU with a very substantial power boost.

Intel Kaby Lake proves it is capable of running Overwatch at 4K resolution with its integrated graphics

We all remember the not-so-distant time when Intel GPUs were used for little more than moving the Windows desktop, something that began to change with the arrival of Sandy Bridge in 2011 and little by little Intel GPUs have been improving until even outperforming its great rival AMD with the arrival of the Intel Iris Pro, something that was absolutely unthinkable.

Kaby Lake would be a new boost to Intel graphics, the company has already shown what its new processors are capable of doing with a video showing a Dell XPS laptop equipped with a Kaby Lake processor capable of running Overwatch at 4K resolution. Unfortunately , neither the graphic settings nor the framerate are shown, so we do not know under what conditions the test has been carried out, even so it is very commendable that an integrated GPU can make a game playable at 4K.

With this, the Intel Kaby Lake processors could be more than enough to enjoy most games at 1080p resolution and with very respectable levels of detail. The Kaby Lake GPU will be compatible with DirectX 12 and Vulkan so they would benefit from games that are based on these modern APIs.
