Think it might be time to find more games that run well without a graphics card. I have a few but a larger selection would be nice.

More 2D gaming perhaps?

Well so far AMD and Intel have not decided to screw over their non-rich gaming user base as much so you can still play modern games.

Lots of modern igpus are scary fast. Like first gen iris xe was not bad. Same with latest gen Vega 8. Mind you this was 5 years ago. Most of the current handhelds that aren't the steamdeck are full apus with much better hardware.

For context, I played cp2077 on an igpu.

Yeah that is a fair point tbh, mostly play obscure indie games so benchmarks for what I actually play are hard to come by but would be interesting to see how they compare to older cards that I know are fine. Running an RTX2070 which is really overkill but it is nice to know I don't even need to look at system requirements for anything I am realistically going to play.

I think if my card dies I may well just try it on the 7800X3D I have. I presume it can run CDDA, Factorio and Rimworld just fine which already covers a good chunk of my gaming. Anvil Empires is something I have been into that might be interesting though, but its also barely optimised and I am in the closed alpha.
