Resolution: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) inxi -G says Graphics: Card: Intel HD Graphics 520ĭrivers: fbdev (unloaded: modesetting,vesa) Is there anything I can do to make it more smooth, or is this just the limits of the GPU? Kernel is 4.16.9. My laptop has a built-in 4K LCD panel, but it's choppy even at 1920x1080. Under GNOME, all animations, such as going to the activities screen, scrolling in Firefox, etc are choppy. To figure out your graphics card specs and performance, download our free GPU Benchmark utility.I'm running a Core i7-6500U with integrated Intel HD Graphics 520. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced. The Intel HD 520 has a TDP of 15W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.Īs for rendering API support, the HD 520 supports up to DirectX 12. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second.

In terms of clock speed, the HD 520 GPU core runs at a frequency of 300 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 900 MHz. Thanks to our GPU Benchmark, we have measured the Intel HD 520 as a bad gaming performer a score of 2%. Compare these benchmarks and specs using our GPU Comparison Tool Specifications Core Clock
