Verdict: STRUGGLING
The Intel Iris Xe Graphics, while a competent integrated solution for casual gaming, is likely to struggle with Witcher 4 Polaris at 1080p resolution. Based on expected performance metrics, players can anticipate frame rates around 20-30 FPS on low settings, with potential bottlenecks arising from limited graphical memory and processing power compared to dedicated GPUs.
✅ Pros & ❌ Cons
- Pro 1: Integrated graphics provide a cost-effective solution without the need for a dedicated GPU.
- Pro 2: Capable of handling less demanding titles and older games at decent settings.
- Con 1: Limited performance for graphically intensive games like Witcher 4, resulting in low frame rates.
Recommended Settings
- Texture quality: Low
- Shadow quality: Low
- Anti-aliasing: Off
