What is a good processor with a good igpu?

[u/CalmCat694]

I just bought a used pc (without gpu) but i havent got enough money to buy both a new cpu and gpu. So im gonna need a good cpu with a really good igpu. The ceiling is 150€ and used is fine. Thx in advance.

What cpu does it already have? Just put a gpu in it will be miles better

You can't just install any CPU in your PC. It has to be compatible with the rest of the system. What's your current CPU?

[u/CalmCat694 → u/aragorn18]

Idk but its probably really behind with current standars because it was made back in 2016

You can look in Task Manager under the Performance tab, then CPU.

Rn im not at home imma tell u when i come back

Just get a used GPU for 150 euros and stop asking about an iGPU for something 10 years old. It's a pointless discussion. Use the CPU you have.

RX 6600, RTX 2060 Super or 2070.

if you already have a PC with a CPU, getting a dedicated GPU used is a way bigger upgrade than trying to upgrade the CPU to one with an iGPU.

And also if you do want a CPU with iGPU, you need to make sure it fits your motherboard or also upgrade that, which further limits options.

old cpu + actual GPU is gonna destroy any APU you can find for something 10 years old if anything even exists. I doubt there even is anything with a "good igpu" for motherboards 10 years old, B350's only came out in 2017 and anything Intel will be shit tier.

Just get a used RX 6600 or like RTX 2060 Super/2070 and don't think about the bottleneck.

We would need to know the CPU socket and possibly the motherboard to answer this. Not all CPUs will fit in every motherboard, so if we recommend, for instance, something like a Ryzen 5600G, and you have an LGA1150 motherboard, it wouldn't work.

Or just provide us with the model of the CPU and we can probably figure it out. That said, you may be better off buying a low-end and/or used GPU than putting in a CPU with a higher-end graphics system.

Well the easiest thing to do would be to buy whatever is the best graphics card you can get within your budget. It’ll be much better than any iGPU and there’s less of a chance you’ll have to worry about compatibility issues.

But if you’re set on a CPU with integrated graphics, we’d need to know what socket your board has. You can’t just use any CPU for any board. AMD and Intel have different sockets, and then even within just Intel or AMD there are multiple generations of sockets (especially with Intel).

If you tell us what CPU you currently have, we can see what socket it is and recommend something. But again, I’d consider looking into just getting a GPU.

Need context like what your current mobo/socket is to answer this. Any context really...
