For a gamer, the graphics card is an essential part of the computer. The more powerful the graphics card, the smoother the 3D effects and animations will be.
Among the most popular graphics cards, there is the famous “ Intel HD Graphics 620 “. She is released in 2016, and yet many people continue to use and recommend it. However, it’s not really a graphics card, but rather an integrated graphics processor! Let’s see in more detail what are the main features of Intel HD Graphics 620.
Here are the best Intel processors of the moment!
Good performance

Among the advantages of Intel HD Graphics 620, we mention its good performance. Actually, she consumes little energy, but produces good performance. Its frequency is 300 MHz for an energy consumption of just 15 Watts. This is due to ULD technology which stands for Ultra Low Voltage.
Intel HD Graphics 620 is also suitable for many uses: for video games, 3D graphics, video editing, etc.
The maximum graphics memory is 32 GB.
Great compatibility
Another advantage is that the Intel HD Graphics 620 is compatible with many devices. You can connect it to a PCIe 3.0 x1 interface.
Whether desktop, laptop, tablet, the card fits easily. It also adapts to the computer, whatever version of Windows is installed.
HDMI and DVI ports

The Intel HD Graphics 620 has an HDMI connector and a DVI connector. With these 2 types of connectors, you can easily connect a projector, computer monitor or TV screen. You will be amazed by the quality and fluidity of the images.
Intel says this hardware supports 4K at 60 Hertz. This results in a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2304 pixels.
Lack of manual and noisy operation

However, with the Intel HD Graphics 620, we regret the absence of a user manual and its noisy operation. That said, given how well the card performs in general, you should be able to get used to it though.
In terms of documentation, you can find some technical information on the Manufacturer’s website, Intel, at the Support level. Here you can download the most up-to-date card drivers if necessary.
Some Detailed Characteristics
What gives Intel HD Graphics 620 these special features is that it is actually a integrated graphics processor. Depending on what you’re using it for, you’ll need either an integrated graphics processor, a dedicated graphics processor, or an actual graphics card. We imagine, for example, that for resource-intensive uses, it is necessary to have appropriate equipment.
That said, we feel that the Intel HD Graphics 620 remains a very versatile graphics processor and therefore easily adaptable to many uses.

It supports HEVC Main10 profile with 10-bit color depth. The HEVC (or H.265) codec succeeded the H.264/AVC codec. The latter easily managed videos in HD (720p) or Full HD (1080p) resolution. But, for Ultra HD (4K), it was necessary to develop a suitable codec. This is how the HEVC codec came about. It can display 4K streams very easily, but it can go as far as displaying 8K videos. You should know that 8K has a resolution of 8192 x 4320 px.
The latest generation Intel HD Graphics also supports the Google VP9 codec. The VP9 codec was developed to reduce the video bitrate by 50% while maintaining the same image quality as VP8 (another Google video codec). It is an open codec that also aims to offer better compression than its competitor, the HEVC (H.265) codec.
Coming back to the other features, the maximum frequency of Intel HD Graphics 620 is 1 GHz – 1.15 GHz.
As a reminder, there has been, since its inception, several generations of Intel Graphics 620;. At the time of writing this article, we are on the 9thm generation (Gen9), installed on Kaby Lake GPU architecture.
conclusion
So, with the Intel HD Graphics 620, we find what makes Intel famous: high-performance hardware, with excellent compatibility with current computers.
However, if you want to use it with resource-intensive games, it is better to choose even more efficient hardware…
