Turns out you can play Saints Row without graphics card, as the sandbox crime game will run on iGPU. The recently released reboot joins a growing list of games that will run just fine without special AMD or Nvidia processors, such as No Man’s Sky and the PC port of the Spider-Man Remastered games.
According to YouTuber RandomGaminginHD, Saints Row runs great without a graphics card and you can even play games at 1080p with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor. The test enthusiast also explores the world of Santo Iles using an Athlon 3000G and an Intel Core i3 12300 while maintaining a frame rate of over 30 frames per second.
Naturally, playing Saints Row on a CPU instead of a GPU requires caution, as resetting to low settings is a must. However, the fact that you can run a sandbox adventure without any special hardware is impressive and speaks to the impressive optimization of the game.
We always recommend playing Saints Row with the best graphics card you have, as this will allow you to increase the frame rate and prevent things from looking like PS2 tweaks. While the RandomGaminginHD experience sounds silly, it serves a practical purpose as it helps provide confidence that it will perform well on Steam Deck alternatives and low-spec gaming laptops from Onexplayer and Ayaneo.
There’s something particularly fun about learning games that will run without a graphics card, especially with the RTX 4000 and RDNA 3 poised to take over the scene. Most enthusiasts strive to build the best gaming PC possible, but in the future we may see more gamers running games on redesigned gaming laptops and unstable PCs, especially if GPUs continue to fail and sell for a high price. .
