Games for UHD630 - (TC-855-E15)

I've got the ci5-9400 (TC-855-E15) which came with 12G ram but is using onboard graphics. So far WoW Bfa works and based on the announced specs for next expansion it should work on that one too. I have Steam but no idea what will work on it from there. I tried the System Requirements Lab but it lists the card as only 128MB which if that were true this system wouldn't run WoW at all. The odd thing listed there does say it wont take intel HD/UHD graphics. I am looking at maybe getting a 4G card later as I see some will work with a 300psu without upgrade. I do though have a thermal take 750w in one of my old computers.

world of tanks blitz
half life series ( 1 , opposing force , blue shift , half life 2/ep1/ep2 )
need for speed series ( undergound/2 , most wanted 2005 , carbon)
delta force series (black hawk down , xtreme/2 , task force dagger )
return to castle wolfeinstein ( very fun FPS with beautiful story )
medal of honor allied assault ( FPS in the WW2 period )
xpand rally ( only on win xp and maybe 7 )
PUBG Lite ( im not sure but you should google the requirements )
the elder scrolls III and IV ( awesome Medieval-RPG games but not the best graphics )
stardew valley ( pixel themed farming game )
terraria ( some sort of 2D minecraft with imense diversity , especially with mods

these should work fine , some with lower graphics some on max

I've tried it but sometimes I wonder because it doesn't always read graphics right or the requirements for built in graphics don't seem to be in their system. Before I had to tell them there was an issue with my old hd5670 Radeon Saphire 2G card as it only read as 1G. Another time the HD8490 was reading a little odd. It seems to not really say much on UHD630 other than sometimes list it as only 1048Mhz which doesn't say much in the sense that it ranks higher than my old 2G Radeon. But the card is no longer supported so I don't put it in though it would be a dedicated card same with the other one. I'm thinking about buying while it's on sale the 4G but for now debating if I should get a smart tv instead and then buy the card after.

I tried a gtx1650 card partly because I didn't realize Shadowlands would be supported in WoW. But it does. I guess I'm too used to thinking about what stopped working with my old HD5670 card on my Athlon II X3 system. UHD630 is around an HD8000 series or similar to my old 2G Saphire that was no longer supported and not as optimized.

The system requirement lab lists 33% compatability with top 100 games. Some games on that list aren't my thing to play anyways. Sims 4 is on it, WoW classic(recommended & max), WoW isn't(but UHD630 is on their system requirements page and supported video), Starcraft 2 is, Remastered isn't(but it is on it's requirements page), Warcraft 3 Remastered isn't listed either but also has UHD630 support, and I saw a few others like fortnite on minimum. But not sure how much I'd like that one. I have Steam gaming and a few of those are on there but most aren't.

I have credit on steam and trying to figure out what to do with that. With Blizzard it's easier as WoW classic runs at max and there are the two remastered titles that might also run at max. Most game producers were reevaluating their optimization. Video card producers had to choose to try to produce high end that honestly were more for industrial design, data mining and display, av for movie industry, or special sciences work. These aren't really for gamers but they know they might buy them and they are priceyhttps://history-computer.com/ModernComputer/Electronic/Whirlwind.html . Also to properly cool some you would need to remove the stock fan and go with a water cooling system. Some people really haven't considered that and only just think of watercooled CPU's.

The 1650 ran about 42% load max, at about 52C but even with case fan heated up the frame and board of the TC-885-eb17. Possibly due to lack of ram coolers. I'm going to get some either way but the video card is going back. It was a 4G card that was capable of not causing such case heat. Though compared to some others in it's category it was cool. While it runs on our 300w psu and stays within 105-250W usage overall with basic system. It isn't good for the PSU.

I am now finding it hard to find a 400w or 500w psu with a 4 pin atx connector for the motherboard. I do have an old thermaltake 750W gold in an old system that I retired. It's over 10 years so not happy about that if I move it. But Thermaltake lasts long and they also do refridgeration PSU's for store fridges. The PSU I did pick up and now have to return was a thermaltake r2 500w. Nothing wrong with it other than the connectors don't match the box or online listing. It doesn't have a 1-4x4 it has a 6pin or 8 pin and a 6pin with 2pin. If it was an 1-4x4 Pin cable I just plug in the one 4pin and leave the second on the line unplugged. I could by a PSU used with a 4-pin but then I have no garantee's on it's usage stats or history. With my Thermaltake 750w Gold modular I know. I just have to check it's connectors for a 24pin and 4pin, but I think it does have sata and the older type.

Unless they want their industries to have problems I think we will see the support for the older 512-2G cards come back and video gaming more optimized. Some of the old cards are really holding their value. So far I can't find a 2G to 3G with temperature and watt stats I like that would be an upgrade from UHD630. Especially since more people are using refurbished free or lower cost computers, a few new ones like ours which are much faster. It's worth their wile to make something we can use. It's funny because their game servers sometimes aren't much higher specs than our ours given they don't need to run the graphics just the processing and networking. Stormwind(once run from Queen of Blades nicknamed Power Edge early test model in microcomputer. Orgrimmer ran from a different CPU format for testing. WoW torture tested it along with a military drone simulator trainer facility.) for example is related to Whirlwind.(pic is from before they started it up, after it was started it needed electronics safety gear and before we got into micro-electronics and a few component upgrades)

As it is Scarlet XBox was actually the original in 4, 6, and 8 G graphics. It got shelved due to games, etc and then was back ported so could to much lower res and processing(only XBox seen in North America and a few other countries). XBox scarlet is the last XBox of it's kind if I can remember right and the thing after it uses VR clothing and portable augmented realtity or holographics. The power levels are lower, the results good, etc. But again expensive gear I'd wait until it drops to $200 to $700 range.
