    Assume I’ve done zero reading on the subject. Are the Intel GPUs on par performance-wise with Nvidia and AMD chips?

      Short answer is no. Long answer is no. The problem is their drivers (and hardware) are very young so there’s a lot of odd things games can do that hurt performance in unexpected ways.

      In practice they are not as good because Intel lacks experience, but I think they’re on the right track. Is it worth the money today? Probably not. The risk of coming across a game that doesn’t run well is just too high.

      I really wanted Intel to be a serious contender for my last GPU purchase but there were too many good, consistently performing options in that price range for it to make a lot of sense.
