PC Building

[Nordvegr]

Greet,

I am working on rejuvenating an old PC, starting with the mobo/cpu/ram. I went with the Ryzen 5 7600, but will be stuck with my old GTX 660 2GB for now. Being as this is a rather old GPU, I'm wondering if the integrated graphics could outperform it - especially considering the contrast of 32GB vs the 2GB on the graphics card. Would appreciate input from those who know more.

The Ryzen 7000 series IGP is known as Radeon Graphics 128SP. It is based on RDNA 2 architecture, has 2 compute units and as the name implies, 128 shading units.

The GTX 660 has way more cores and shaders, however most cards are limited to DirectX 11 and don't support DirectX 12 games. Plus drivers for Windows 10/11 may not exist.

If you're playing older games the GTX easily outperforms the IGP, however if you want to play modern DirectX titles you'll have to use the IGP.
