Bioshock Infinite is just over a year old, though is still one of my favorite game titles. Time to explore if any of these integrated graphic solutions can handle all the eye candy. At medium preset the i7-4770R and the Iris Pro have no issue to keep the FPS above the 30FPS mark. At the higher 1920 x 1080 resolution, it just remains playable, nevertheless things get jerky from time to time. Looking at the AMD APU performance, either the AMD drivers are far more optimized for this game, or is the game optimized to be run on AMD APUs ?  In fact a total contradiction with the previous Catzilla output as the Iris Pro is just able to remain on the same graphics level of the Richland A10-6800K processor.

At 2400MHz Ram speeds things get even worse. Good to see some game titles are able to optimize their coding to allow fast and furious gaming action, even on affordable AMD APUs.

Tomb Raider sheds yet again another light on the HD5200 Iris Pro capabilities. At Medium preset the Game benchmark really flies, managing an average of 36.8FPS at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Once the High preset is tested the 4770R iGPU continues to outpace the Kaveri A10 7850K graphics performance with an average of 5 FPS.

In Metro 2033 Last light all of the onboard graphic solutions are being maxed out, showing minimal gains across the board. Seems the game has got a light preference for the AMD APUs, though Intel has closed the gap and now has a rivaling offering for the Kaveri lineup, albeit at a steep price tag, though this can be justified for the superb processor performance it delivers.
