Increase performance for Intel Graphic driver
BabaoWhisky Oct 13, 2016
Hi guys,

I am not a big gamer and the games which i love to play are generally Football Manager, Wasteland II, Pillars of Eternity and soon Torment - Tides of Numenera.

These games don't need a big graphic card to work and even if i have a GTX970, this card is only for my PCI-Passthrough on Windows_10. (If i want to play at AAA games, i run it on Windows but for example, if i want to play at Deus Ex : MK, i'll buy to Feral Store before ;-) )

So my question is :
There are tips and tweaks to increase the performance for my Intel Graphic card ?
I have a HD Graphics 530 (Intel Skylake CPU)

Thanks,
Berillions

Since you mentioned GTX 970, I presume you're running a desktop system.

The only thing I can think of when it comes to iGPU is that having a dual channel ram yields some nice performance compared to single channel (You probably are already running in dual channel if you have 2 sticks of ram).

Something else I'm not sure about but I'll still mention it: Since the Intel GPU feeds off the system memory this would mean games would have less memory to use for the application itself, I wonder if increasing the ram amount would make an fps difference?
