The Imperial Storm
Hello my fellow members of SF!
Okay, so I know a million of these threads exist but I couldn't find any resembling my system at all, except maybe CPU. I built my computer and am currently saving (and waiting) on a good price drop of some good cards, but in the mean time I was wondering if it was possible to make Skyrim look better on a rig using iGPU.
I have a i5-4670k@3.8Ghz being cooled by Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 8GB of RAM. I have only the iGPU to play by and at the moment, in Skyrim on a custom resolution, I get 32-38 FPS outside of towns and the same for in towns (sometimes it jumps to 45 or down to 31 if looking at multiple light sources). I do plan on a getting a GPU, it is my priority for my savings after bills and whatnot, but for right now I'd like to enjoy Skyrim as best as my computer can handle it.
Is this impossible? If it is possible, am I supposed to overclock, assuming that the overclock will somehow change the iGPU? (please note I don't need 60+ FPS at the moment)
*I currently have a list of mods installed and will happily provide them if it matters*
