Intel HD Graphics 530 good enough for WinUAE?

[viddi]

Is an Intel Core i5-6500T with Intel HD Graphics 530 good enough for WinUAE?

Talking about everything:

From 100% ECS and AGA games emulation to fast JIT gaming plus scanlines, shaders and all that fancy GPU demanding stuff.

Thank you.

From my experience, if you want shaders a dedicated GPU is needed.

Maybe someone has experiences with this chipset...

Update:

Yes, it works!

I tried AGS plus the included shaders.
Perfect performance.

So if you're looking for a cheap but powerful solution, just get a 100€ MiniPC and AGS.

It depends on IGP i.e. I have Radeon RX 780M on Framework laptop 13's Ryzen 7 7840U APU.

And to be honest, acceptable or prefect performance is a subjective metric. Some people are perfectly happy with a slightly jerky emulation, others want an almost 1 to 1 experience.

For myself, if the mouse movement is not buttery smooth, I break down in tears.

So effectively a background malware scan will make you cry

I feel you.

It is unfortunately what Window$ does best...

Thank you for making me laugh today....



1:1 emulation = MistER FPGA? (or we don't want to open that can of worms )


Back to the topic, recently got couple mini PCs with the same video card and after installing Recalbox I can confirm emulation on the chipset is not bad, including GameCube and DreamCast emulation. (someone was saying something about shaders, right?))

@Viddi:
winUAE emulate every things (openGL included) with CPU and your CPU is enough.

We were mainly talking about shaders and other GPU heavy stuff (e.g. Direct3D support etc.)
