Many times the problem is that to play you need very powerful graphics cards. Well, this is not always the case, as there are very light games that you can vitiate without the need for a € 800 graph, simply with integrated graphics in the processors.

Introduction

The computer equipment as a rule need a graphics card for graphical data visualization. This graphics card can be dedicated or be integrated into the same processor.

Our dedicated graphics cards are generally more powerful that the graphs integrated by processors. But, add a card dedicated graphic means adding an extra cost to our IT team. If at the moment the budget does not reach you, know that there are games that you can run without the need for dedicated graphics.

Many years ago It was essential to allocate a part of the budget to the graphics card, since the processors did not integrate graphics. The modern processors, mostly, they usually have integrated graphics that can be used to move light games. This graphics card integrated into the processor will be more or less powerful, depending on whether we choose a solution from AMD or Intel.

AMD currently offers us the Ryzen APU with integrated RX Vega graphics which are usually enough to move games. This graph can go quite just right for 1080p gaming in modern games, but most games, by adjusting the graphic quality and resolution, you can move them. You must bear in mind that Ryzen APUs have the identifier 'G' in the name, which indicates that it has graphics. Ryzen processors without this identifier, unfortunately, do not integrate a graphics solution.

Intel on the other hand integrates Intel UHD Graphics into its processors, which are quite worse than integrated charts of processors by AMD to move games. These graphics support very light games and above all, classic games. All Intel Core processors integrate graphics, except those who identify themselves as 'Core-F', which have the integrated graphics disabled.

Portal and Portal 2

They are two quite mythical games and very well valued by the community. The titles Portal and Portal 2 have been developed by Valve and can be purchased on Steam. These two games are single player logic games and have a first person view. We will have to solve a series of puzzles to escape habituation, which will become more and more complicated. The grace of the game is that we will generate portals that allow us to teleport ourselves or to teleport objects.

This game is based on logic and combining physics with the different possibilities of installing portals on any of the walls.

Machinarium

Here we have a game based on adventures and puzzles quite entertaining and that became quite famous for its art. You must help Josef to rescue his girlfriend Berta, who are robots (yes, the story is so reminiscent of the plumber Mario…). We will achieve this by solving a set of puzzles with which we will be able to defeat the Black Hat Brotherhood.

The plot takes place in the city of Machinarium, where we will collect objects that will help us solve the puzzles, adventures, mental challenges and the different minigames. But what stands out is the environment, as they are fully hand-drawn 2D graphics, which are beautiful.
