EQ DX11 on iGPU?

    Would EQ run on an iGPU these days with the new changes? Seen plenty of people that can't run it on their old boxes anymore and I see the "minimum req" going up to "dGPU" but is it at all possible to run it on an iGPU these days, like say on a Intel 6100T which would be an Intel® HD Graphics 530 iGPU?

    I play on a laptop with integrated graphics. As long as the integrated graphics has at least support for directx feature levels 11_0, it should run EQ.

    Great, it should support DX11 from what I can see, would be bad to have to buy a pile of not so cheap GPU's just to play EQ

    LOTS of my guildmates run iGPUs. The good news is CPUs with integrated graphics supporting DX11.1 existed as far back as 2011.

    Happy Gaming!

    My video card bit the dust two days after the recent patch (wonderful timing!). Still waiting for the new one to arrive, so I'm on integrated graphics right now, on a 6.5 year-old desktop with Win10. No issues running EQ at all.

    My 2015 macbook pro does not have a graphics card and is working.

    I would not suggest buying an iGPU if buying new mainly because having a dGPU pulls the heat off the CPU. However, I have a MacBook Pro with iGPU I use to raid when I travel and it is fine.
