It drives the display, I guess. Not powerful, and not useful for anything graphically intensive. I guess watching youtube works, at least. Groetjes!

Runs Minecraft on 75fps and medium settings fine with some bios tweaking and other optimization. Damn you Lenovo for not adding a ExpressCard slot on my T460.

For Intel HD, and because I used it for years, this is actually pretty good for what it is

Absolute crap but these graphics are what got me into so many games even though they were all played at low with 20 fps.

Good for office work but you can only play light games for gaming. I had to use it for gaming for a long time and it wasn't good.

Is it absolute garbage? Yes. Does it need to be better than absolute garbage? Not really? While it is quite bad in some aspects, it runs standard Windows and stuff very fine. 3D graphics and video decoding/encoding don't work well, but otherwise it runs decent?

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
